The Historic BOYce Place.

Friends in this section of
Major w. w. Boyce, who with
his family moved recently from
Rock Hill to his old home place
near Pineville, will be interested
in the following which appeared
in the last issue of the Associate
Reformed Presbyterian:
This farm is historical. Ny
father. William Boyce, was post
master on the Stage Line from
Charlotte to Columbia and a
letter found in the ceiling when
| was remodeling our old home,
dated 1851, bears testimony to
the fact that this place was
Spring Hill, S. c., years ago.
Il also found that our old
home was built in 1905 by Alex
ander Scott, Mrs. John S. Doug
lass grandfather, and from
time to time was repaired by my
father and myself. This winter,
owing to the many modern con-
veniences making farm life
desirable, we decided to make
our home here again and have
remodeled this place consider
ably. We moved up yesterday
and the ladies are delighted
with the new home, which glad
dens my heart, for there is no
place so dear to me, besides it is
a good place to live, which you
will see if you will accept an
invitation to visit u.s."
