CHURCH/CEMETERY HISTORY:
------------------------

In the Carolina Room, you will find bits and pieces of information collected by 
me, in my travels in different Counties in South Carolina. Visit http://members.aol.com/pastense2/scroom.htm

In the Carolina Room, I have stored many documents that pertain to the State of 
South Carolina, however, I do have some records that I have acquired from other 
States, as well. Here you will find a little bit of my Family History, South 
Carolina Misc. Records extracted, from (wills, deeds, marriage records, deaths 
records, probate records) Penitentiary Records, Coroner Inquisitions, Church 
Cemetery transcriptions where to get copies of these books, pictures, census 
information, surname connections, Mortality records, Slave records and Mortgage 
Records. 
 
Many of the items in my possession, were copied from the original document and 
later compiled and placed in one of my many databases, for future reference. 

Keep in mind, that a lot of hard work has been placed in the years of research 
that I have done. Most of what you will find here I freely share, with the 
understanding that it is copyrighted material, published either by me or someone 
else, that I have acknowledged.  

The following history information was taken from the Inventory of Church 
Archives of Churches 1935.

William Roe and I went by Pleasant View Baptist Church on Thursday, 22 MAY 2008, 
to look for a grave. We walked to the back left side of the church near a large 
oak tree. There was a grave size depression in the ground about 25 feet from the 
church that he said was the grave. There were no markings. The GPS reading was N 
34 degrees 47.314 minutes and W 082 degrees 29.370 minutes.
 
William told a story about the basketball goal posts in the parking lot on the 
other side of the church. He said they were built as a class project in the Wren 
High School Shop. Shortly after they were erected at the church in the mid 
1970s, a group of boys and he were playing basketball on a Saturday when a 
funeral hearse drove up. They had just had a funeral at another location and the 
body was "laid to rest" in the grave. As well as William could remember, there 
were about 15 people attending the burial. He thought it was one of the pastors 
of the church.
 
I stopped by the church and talked with Mr. Taylor who was working in the 
churchyard. I related the story and he said he had not heard about a grave, but 
would check the story out. Months later at the end of April 2009, I saw Mr. 
Taylor working in the churchyard and stopped to talk.
 
Mr. Taylor said he talked with an elderly member of the church earlier in April 
and she confirmed that Reverend Williams was buried there. He was one of the 
early pastors (3rd) of the Pleasant View Baptist Church. There is no marker on 
the grave.
 
1st Pastor - Rev. J. J. Talley (started in 1929)
2nd Pastor - Rev. W. M. Simmons
3rd Pastor - Rev. Williams
