Oliver Thompson Chapter 1850, United Daughters of the Confederacy, held a Grave Marker Dedication service at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church Cemetery in Greer, SC, on July 26, 2014, in remembrance of William Dennis Crain, Jr., Private, 16th Infantry Regiment, Co. D, “Elford Guards,” Confederate States of America. Over 100 family members and friends were in attendance at this ceremony.
The 16th SC Color Guard of Honor presented the Colors. A biography of William Dennis Crain, Jr. was presented by Mrs. Dot Bishop, Past President, Travelers Rest Historical Society. Part of Private Crain’s biography read as follows:
“William Dennis Crain, Jr., had five brothers at the start of the Civil War. When the war was over, he had two. Two brothers, Jasper and John, were excused from military duty because of their occupations. Jasper was exempt based on his textile mill duty in Augusta. The south needed cloth for uniforms, blankets and the like, so Jasper stayed behind. John was a bridge designer and builder and was exempted from military duty because the South desperately needed bridges and railroads for troops and supplies.

Summary Court Judge Rob Chumley was the guest speaker for the July dinner meeting of camp 36, 16th Regiment, South Carolina Volunteers and their guests. His topic was “Nullification and the South.”
Nullification, first enunciated in the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions of 1798, was expanded by South Carolina statesman John C. Calhoun in response to the Tariff of 1828. This historical fact tied the word to the true history of the South.
Chumley is a cum laude graduate of Clemson University, a graduate of Cumberland School of Law, and earned his Doctor of Jurisprudence from Sanford University.

The 2014 Sons of Confederate Veterans National Reunion was held in North Charleston, South Carolina, July 17-19. Wednesday night, prior to the start of the Reunion, I was invited to a drop-in to celebrate the return of the Star of the West ship’s bell to Charleston. This was quite an honor and the highlight of the week for me. I also had the privilege of ringing the bell.
The bell was displayed at the Reunion, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It will be on exhibit at the Citadel for six months. If you are in Charleston and have time, I suggest a visit to see it.
