The Pickens Sentinel of Aug. 13, 1908, last paragraph:
"It did seem sad when night came after listening, the latter part of the afternoon to the good music being rendered by Messrs. Nelson and Rampey.... But we all look forward to the next 29th of July and hope to all meet there again. "
The
Pickens Sentinel reported:
"On July 15, 1928, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Roper, their children, friends and relatives met to celebrate Mr. Roper's 78th birthday. Some 300 guests were present. In the yard under the tall shade trees, one of the most beautiful tables was spread with everything good to eat. The entire day was spent in singing and progressive conversation. Reverend A. M. Simmons preached an interesting sermon in the afternoon."
