Pendleton Old Photos
It was getting quite long with nearly 50 pictures and I thought it was about time to start a second part as I still have more photos to share.
Pendleton folks of all ages have been so generous with their treasured photographs and it has brought much pleasure to a lot of people. It is my sincere hope that the first lens will continue to be viewed and enjoyed as well as this new one.

Old Pickens House
Tim Drake, a local historian and active member of the Pendleton Historic Foundation, had this to say about this house.
The Old Pickens House was built around the year 1800 and was one of Pendleton's earliest plantation houses. It was supposed to be almost identical to "Mount Jolly", the late 1700's home of my uncle Zachariah Taliaferro (which stood on the present day Simpson Research Farm). It originally had a long front piazza, and the classical portico pictured here was added in the 1830's (about the same time one was added to Ft. Hill). The double front doors, which led into separate rooms, give a hint of its early age because it was built before the center hall plan became popular in this area. It was included in the HABS survey of Pendleton that was done in the 1930's, but they just made floor-plan diagrams and took no picture. I don't know the name of the original builder, but it was later owned/lived in by descendants of General Andrew Pickens. I think it was called "The Poplars" or "Poplar Lane".

The Quattlebaums Lived In The Old Pickens House
Shelby Shares This Story
After brothers Don and Richard Quattlebaum graduated from Clemson University, they purchased this 256 acre farm from Mr. and Mrs. J. Monroe Tinsley. The Tinsleys previously had a dairy farm and that was exactly what the Quattlebaums wanted to do along with their wives, Opal and Shelby. They named it Greenglow Farm and in 1956 began their Dairy Farm.Richard had recently returned from the Army so he and Shelby were living in a mobile home on the farm while Don and Opal lived in the big house. Both women were pregnant at this time with their first children.
On New Year's Eve 1959 the house caught on fire and in 45 minutes nearly everything they owned was gone up in flames. The house was built of pine and the fire was started in the attic from the wiring or a squirrel. Both families as well as Don and Richard's mother had their belongings in the house.
Thirty One Days after the house burned, Don and Opal had a daughter, Donna. They lived with Opal's parents until one of the tenant houses on the farm was remodeled.
Three and a half months after the house burned Richard and Shelby had a daughter, Tammy. They continued to live on the farm in a larger mobile home.
In 1968 both brothers built homes on the farm. Don and Opal were blessed with twin boys in 1969. Both brothers and their families continued to farm until the dairy herd was sold in 1979. 214 Acres of the farm land was later sold to Senator T. Ed Garrison.
Both families continue to live on part of the farm in the houses they built in 1968.
Thank you Shelby for sharing this story.

Smith's Esso Station 1936
Jim Smith Shares Some Family History
and information on above photo. Thank you, Jim
According to Jim Smith, the persons in the 1936 photo above are left to right:
James Dawson Smith III, H.L. Crenshaw and Dexter Gossett
Jim also shared the following history of their family business. In 1919 James Dawson Smith II and 2 partners established Blue Ridge Oil Co. on the square in downtown Pendleton. In prior years this had been the old Cherry Hotel lot and at one time where Cobb's Hotel had been located. A filling station was built and then in 1920 Smith II became the sole owner.
A couple of years later, Smith II became the Distributor for the Standard Oil Co. of J.J. as well as being owner and operator of the filling station. He died in 1945. James Dawson Smith III had joined his father in the business after graduating from the Citadel in 1934 and was active in the operation until his death in 1986. James Dawson Smith IV joined his father in the business after graduating from the Citadel in 1959 and remained there until he closed the business in 2001.
After several name changes Standard Oil of J.J. became Exxon and the three Smith generations operated the Distributorship and Service Station continually for some 80 years.
Each Smith (II, III, and IV) was proud to live in and be a part of Pendleton. They greatly enjoyed and appreciated their friends and customers over the many years.
This building now houses Village Station Antiques and if you haven't been in there, I highly recommend it. It is a real treat. Just check out their lovely website.

Do you remember a road in front of Farmers Hall?
Jacky Manley told me that he knows the name of the road that used to run directly in front of the Farmers Hall but he won't tell me. Every time I see him he asked me if I have found the answer yet.
Come on, Folks, help me out here! Does anyone remember the name of that road? I remember the road but haven't a clue about its name.
Frances Barnette emailed me and said that Calvin remembered that the street was called "Short Street".

About Portman Shoals
Visit "Discover South Carolina" for more information
The Portman Shoals marker located at SC 24 and the Seneca River one mile north of I-85 commemorates the Portman Shoals Power Plant that is now submerged beneath the waters of Lake Hartwell. When it began its transmission of electricity it was the longest high voltage electricity line in the country. Because of its success Anderson became known as the "Electric City."

Original 25 cent script note
Issued by Pendleton Manufacturing Co.
This is an original 25 cent script note owned by Jerry Sloan Jr. It was issued by Pendleton Manufacturing Co. as wages to be used at the Company Store for goods manufactured by them or for debts due them. It was signed by B.F. Sloan on Feb. 11, 1861. B.F. Sloan is Jerry Sloan Jr.'s Great Great Grandfather.
John Sitton added some interesting information about Pendleton Manufacturing Co.
LaFrance, was formerly know as Autun, home of The Pendleton Manufacturing Co., the state's oldest cotton mill still in operation. Ironically, I now live a stone's throw from Autun, where My Grandfather, Eugene N was born. My Great Granddad owned and operated the mill at Autun. Pendleton Oil Mill was begun on it's present site, where AJ and John B. already operated a steam cotton gin, in part to facilitate a steady supply of cotton to the mill at Autun. See:

- In the latest photo in the band room, I see Nancy Jo Campbell, Jerry Moore, Jimmy Palmer and not sure about the second girl. Is that Tippi Welborn?

- I recognize lots of classmates and myself in that band picture! fun! I think majorettes are Nancy Jo Campbell, Aileen Smith and Janet Meehan on front. Linda Anthony, Joan Hopkins and me on the back row. Brenda Frye was a majorette, too, I thought, but I don't see her there.
I think Jerry Moore maybe front left of band.
