George Burns, His Times and Friends
Chapter I. The Burns Family

George Burns was born on the 10th of December, 1795. He came of an old and long-lived family, which for many generations had occupied an honourable position in the West of Scotland. The life of his grandfather carries us back to the beginning of the eighteenth century, and that is far enough in history for us to travel in this narrative.

Old John Burn has left on record, among his early remembrances, the fact that he saw from his father's house the soldiers crowding past with their wounded from the battle of "Shirra Muir" in the Jacobite rising of 1715.

The family was originally named Burn, and John Burn, the grandfather of the subject of our narrative, was a Stirling man, where he owned the little property of Corntown. He was an author, a man of considerable learning, and of deep piety.

There lies before the present writer the contract of marriage betwixt Mr. John Burn, of Stirth, and Sheriff Muir.

Janet Young, youngest daughter of the deceas'1 William Young, of Risk, and Jean White, his relict spouse?at St. Ninians, February 9, 1741."

Janet Young had been a staunch adherent of the Rev. Ebenezer Erskinel of Stirling, one of the four "outed ministers" of 1733, and she continued a Seceder for some time after her marriage to John Burn, who was an Established Churchman, although in course of time she, like many others, seceded from the Secession.

13 "A clipping dated May 28, 1955 (newspaper not identified) contains the following:

"Golden Wedding Day Approaching

"Wednesday, June 1, will be the Golden Wedding Day of Mr. And Mrs. Thomas Senior, well known North Sewickley township residents, who tomorrow will quietly mark the occasion with a family get-together. No other celebration of the happy event is planned because of Mrs. Senior's frail health. Their marriage took place Jue 1, 1905 in Unionville and the couple immediately went to housekeeping in North Sewickley township where they have resided ever since. Mrs. Senior is the former Minnie McCreary. They are members of Concord Methodist Church and Mr. Senior still engages in farming. The Seniors have nine sons and daughters...."

14 "Martha married George Holland..... They lived on a farm near Laclede, Mo. for a while.

"The Geo. Hollands made their first trip to Texas in 1868. They had three small children then - Janie, Henry and Lizzie. Edley Maxwell and family went with them.....

"It was July and very hot. They traveled in covered wagons and suffered terribly from the heat - especially going through Kansas which was dry and barren, water scarce and few houses.

"When they reached Calhoun, Henry Co., Mo. they stopped to visit the Mike Whitleys. Lutisha Whitley had recently married her cousin, Bill Maxwell, and they were living there too.

"The Geo. Hollands came back to Mo. in July 1871. They stopped to see Edley Maxwell in Bates Co., then the Mike Whitleys in Henry County. They found them very said for Aunt Jane Whitley had just died.

"The Hollands came on to Linn Co. and bought a farm ? mi. north of the Bruner School House, 2 ? mi. northeast of Laclede, Mo. They lived there four years.

"In 1874 they sold their farm and went back to Texas. A railroad had been built and this time Martha and the children went on the train. Dock Maxwell and his wife Georgia went with them. George Holland drove through with a team and wagon.

"They lived in Texas and raised their family there near Denison. Later they moved near Durant, Okla. - then the Indian Ter. In 1924 they moved to Arch, New Mexico where they lived the rest of their life." 
Maxwell, Martha Lutisha (I55038)
 
15 "MATHEW OF LLANDAFF, RADIR, &c. This very ancient and
long-continuing family derived from Gwilym, son of Gwaethfoed, Lord of Cardigan, by Morfydd, dau. of Ynyr, King of Gwent, through Gruffydd Gethin, ranked as tenth from Gwaethfoed, Ivan ap Gruffyd Gethin, who m. Cecil, dau. and heiress of Watkin Llewelyn of Llandaff, of the lineage of Iestyn ap Gwrgant. He settled at Llandaff. His son, Mathew Ivan Gruffydd, and his grandson, David Mathew, introduced the surname which never ceased for twelve generations. They intermarried with the Flemings of Flemingston, Morgans of Tredegar, Gamages of Coity, Stradlings of St. Donat's, &c., and branched off at early periods into the vigorous families of Mathew of Castell Menych (Monk's Castle) and Mathew of Radir, Mathew of Aberaman, and Mathew of Sweldom and Llancaiach, all of whom are now extinct. The house of Llandaff supplied sheriffs for Glamorgan in the years 1546, 1769, and member of Parliament in the person of Thomas Mathew, father and son, in 1744, 1756. This same Thomas Mathew, sen., of Llandaff, was Rear-Admiral and Admiral of the White; and Thomas the son was a major in the army. In his election he polled 954 votes against 212 given for his 'opponent,' Charles Van, Esq. By his wife, Anne, dau. of Robert Knight, Esq. of Sutturn, he had, besides several other children, a son, also named Thomas Mathew, Esq., of Llandaff, the sheriff of 1769, who d. 1771, s.p. The Mathews of Llandaff bore the arms of Gwaethfoed - Or, a lion rampant regardant sa., crowned gu.

"MATHEW OF RADIR. The same in descent with the foregoing, and branching off from Llandaff with Thomas, third son of David, who has been described as first settling the surname of Mathew. Thomas m. Cate, dau. and co-h. of Morgan Llewelyn ap Ivan. Their eldest son was William, who became Sir William Mathew, Kt., of Radir. He was succeeded by his son Sir George Mathew, Kt. This family supplied several sheriffs for the co. of Glamorgan; ex. gr., William Mathew, 1567, do., 1579; Henry Mathew, 1589; Thomas Mathew 1613.

"Edmund Mathew, Esq. of Radir, a younger brother, succeeded his two elder brothers, who d.s.p., as possessor of the estates, and was himself succeeded by his eldest son, George Mathew, who m. a dau. of Sir John Pornes, Kt., who was the widow of the Earl of Ormond, and had a son, Theobald Mathew, Esq., who is called in "J.H.'s Ms. 'Lord of Bishopstown and Llandaffe,' not of Radir. He m. three times and had George, two other sons, and daus., but we discover no traces of their further history. Theobald Mathew d. AD 1700. No little confusion exists in the MSS. respecting the marriages and successions of these later Mathews of Radir; but about the high position and influence of the family in this co. there cannot be a doubt."

Another source says, in part:
"MATHEW, Lord LANDAFF. Edward Mathew, or ap-Mathew, anceftor to this noble Lord, refisded at Rader in the county of Glamorgan about the year 1660, where he inherited a good eftate, principally confifting of chiefries, being the remains of an ample fortune pofeffed by his anceftors from time immemorial; he was alfo poffeffed of the town of Landaff in fame county, where the prefent Lord, in whom it now vefts, takes his title. - He left iffue a fon George, who became feated at Thurles in county of Tipperary, took to wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Sir John Pointz of Acton in county of Gloucefter, Bart.

18 An undated newspaper clipping furnished by Janice (Mrs. Leland)
Marshall, sheds some light on the deaths of the two Marshall children:

" Marshall Babies Killed In Crash
" Other Members of Clair Marshall Family

"Warren, Pa., July 7. - Two babies were killed and eight persons injured Monday in a head-on collision of two automobiles on Route 77 near Garland, about 20 miles west of here.

21 My great grandfather was William Mochrie Douglass. He was born on the eighth of December 1835 in Glasgow Scotland. His mother died when he was eight years old. he joined the church when he was fifteen eyars old in Scotland. his father did not join the church.
William Douglass came across the ocean with some friends when he was eighteen years old. The voyage across the ocean was very rough. Disease broke out among the people and a great many of them died and were buried at sea. He landed in New York in 1852. He went to Nauvoo, Illinois and crossed the plains with a group of saints. He was a strong determined boy and he walked most of the way. When he got to Salt Lake City he worked for two years, then he established a mercantile business. His father had been a merchant in Scotland.
William Douglass was sent to Smithfield with a group of Saints to help colonize towns. He was married to Cynthiann Merrill on the ninth of November in 1862 in Smithfield. Their first child was born in a wheat bin before his log cabin was built. He built a store in Smithfield and he and his family lived in the back rooms. When had had two children in 1868 he was set apart by Brigham Young as a Seventy to go on a mission to his homeland in Scotland. When he arrived in Scotland he learned that his father had been dead for two years. He tried to convert his stepmother and his two sisters to the gospel and bring them back to America with him. His stepmother was old and didn't want to leave her homeland. There were so many more women converts than men, as Brigham Young wanted these missionaries to bring back another wife. William Douglass brought back a woman but did not marry her until 1872. When he returned home from his mission in 1870 he enlarged his store and became quite wealthy. He operated a freight line to the mines in Montana. They had several teams of mules on each wagon. This trip took about one month. He was paid for his supplies in gold dust. They also kept a small scale in the store for weighing gold dust. They were some times paid in produce for supplies.
William Douglass was a lover of good music. He purchased the first piano that was shipped into Smithfield. There was a large room above the store and every Saturday night eight men would carry the piano up the stairs and they would have a public dance.
William Douglass had eleven children by his first wife and ten children by his second wife. He sent a son on a mission to New Zeland in 1893. Soon after this boy returned home from his mission he passed away.
When William Douglass became older he became a great checker player. He played checkers in the barber shop before a large crowd. He died in Smithfield in 1916 on July 29th, at the age of eighty-one.

"The sudden death of Mrs. Elizabeth Maxwell, of this city, last Wednesday, was quite unexpected, she having complained only of an acute pain in her side, which was not considered serious.

"Mrs. Maxwell was the mother of our young townsman, Joseph Maxwell, and the wife of the late Wm. Maxwell, who died only eight months ago. Since the death of her husband, she had been living with her daughter, four miles southwest of this city, until Thursday of last week, when she came to town to reside with her son.

"Mrs. Maxwell was nearing her eightieth birthday and when she passed away death came like the quiet of sleep. The funeral services were preached at the residence, on Dake's addition, Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock, the Rev. Charles K. Hoyt, of the Presbyterian church, conducting the service."

26 The Obituary of Dr. Vernon Swick reads, in part:

"Dr. H. Vernon Swick, son of Mr. & Mrs. George B. Swick met his untimely and tragic death August 1, 1949 when he slipped from his cabin cruiser into Lake Erie.

"From birth, January 25, 1913, Concord was his church home with the exception of four years spent in Shippenville. When he graduated from high school he was accorded a unique honor when, at 16, he was appointed to teach his own Sunday School class of teen-age boys. He faithfully fulfilled that duty as well as assuming the presidency of the Epworth League during his four years of pre-medical work at Geneva College. Upon entering Temple University Medical School his active participation ceased but he never lost interest in his church or childhood friends.

"He with his wife, the former Elba Lang, whom he had married in Concord Church in July 1938 and their son Tyco returned to the community in 1941 to take over the practice of his uncle, the late Dr. J. Howard Swick who had suffered a heart attack.

"At the time of his death he was a resident urologist at St. Vincent's Hospital where he had served his internship two years before.

""It can be truly said of Dr. Swick that he was a cultured, refined gentleman with a high sense of honor, a great charm of manner and showed evidence during his special training of becoming highly skilled and proficient in the specialty which he was near prepared to practice. He was much respected and admired by the professional men with whom he was associated"* and the neighbors and friends with whom he lived.

"Funeral services were conducted August 18 by Concord's Rev. Dwight Townsend who paid Dr. Swick this tribute in poetry: "He had faith in God, himself and fellow men, perchance he never thought in terms of creed. I only know he lived a life, in deed!"

"*Quoted from In Memoriam as it appeared in the Pennsylvania Medical Journal and sent in sympathy to his wife and parents." 
Swick, Dr. H. Vernon (I51111)
 
27 This collection of 105 manuscripts supplements Martha's lively 1887 diary of her student days at Columbia Female College and gives a fuller picture of this young woman who died at the untimely age of twenty-six. Martha was a native of Blackstock, SC, near the Fairfield-Chester line. Her letters, which date from her school years through her career as a schoolteacher, reveal interesting and uncommon ambitions, including the study of medicine. She read her physician grandfather's medical books and considered applying to a women's medical college in New York. In 1895, she became dissatisfied with her teaching options, so she contacted the Chester County delegation and tried to get a clerk's job at the convention drafting South Carolina's new constitution.
Martha kept in touch with a large following of cousins, friends, and suitors; local family names like Banks, Doty, Thompson, Beaty, Rast, and Brice appeared among her correspondents. Fitzhugh Banks, a Presbyterian clergyman, wrote her constantly from the Columbia Theological Seminary and later from his pastorates in Louisiana and Mississippi. On 25 October 1893 he described his visit to the Chicago World's Fair: "The Electricity Building was ablaze with lights of every shade of color. The fountains sent up illuminated columns of spray as varied in hue as the colors of the rainbow."
In 1891, Martha visited her sister near Texarkana, Texas, and described her stay in the "wild west." One epistle to M. W. Doty in Winnsboro (28 July 1891) hinted that her Southern charm captivated even critics of the "lost cause": "Miss Tyson returned yesterday, and Mr. Kane left on the same train for Hot Springs and a trip North to his relatives. He certainly expects to make 'pop calls' as he said he would return in two weeks. He has been right friendly with me since our disagreeable little chat some time ago over the North and South. I think I wrote you about it. . . . The noted infidel, J. D. Hall, died some days ago in Texarkana. He was originally from Edgefield, S.C. He has been living here for a number of years, and has made money on whole sale groceries."
Despite her circle of ardent admirers, Martha never married. Perhaps she had not abandoned her dreams of medical school. (The admissions officer had advised her to save up tuition beforehand, not to work her way through.) Or she may have thought along the same lines as the young woman acquaintance who wrote her in October 1895. "I have no thought of taking the fatal step soon. Life is too pleasant just as it is to tamper with it-let well enough alone. Somehow I've got it into my head that Amelia Rivers' definition of married life is a really true one-'champagne with the sparkle off."'
While teaching school at Van Wyck, S. C., Martha suddenly fell victim to a bout of "hemorrhagic fever, or as it is sometimes called 'yellow chills."' She died on 20 November 1895. The last items in the collection are letters of condolence to her mother and sisters.

28 "George Wade was one of the earliest citizens of Columbia. He had
been born in North Carolina and had moved to Lancaster County, from which
section he had entered the Revolution as captain of a company. In
Columbia he became owner of many squares of land, especially in the

37 John Coming Ball (1714-1764). Son of Elias Ball; son-in-law of John
Gendron (1690-1754); father-in-law of Keating Simons, Benjamin Smith
(1735-1790), and Henry Smith (1727-1780); brother-in-law of John Ashby
(1698-1729), George Austin, Philip Dawes, John Gendron (d.1755), Henry
Laurens (1724-1792), and John Vicaridge.

John Coming Ball was born in South Carolina, the younger and favorite
son of Elias Ball by his first wife, Elizabeth Harleston. Following his
mother's death in 1720, he was sent to Charleston for schooling, where he
studied arithmatic under a Mr. Newberry and took dancing lessons. He wed
Catherine Gendron, daughter of John Gendron and Elizabeth Mazyck, in
1742. Four of their six children reached maturity: Elias, Elizabeth (m.
Henry Smith), Catherine (m. Benjamin Smith), and Ann (m. Richard Waring).
Catherine Gendron Ball died 23 September 1755, and 10 months later Ball
married Judith Boisseau, a widow, by whom he had five children. Of these,
only John Coming and Eleanor (m. 1st John Wilson, 2nd Keating Simons),
born six months after her father's death, survived.
Ball inherited 1,270 acres at Three Mile Head and 800 acres in Hell
Hole Swamp from his father, purchased 8,889 acres himself, and obtained a
3,500 acre grant. These lands were located in the parishes of St. James
Santee, St. John Berkely, and St. Stephen in the vicinity of the eastern
branch of the Cooper River and Hell Hole and Wambaw swamps. In addition,
he and his brother-in-law Henry Laurens entered into a plantation
partnership and bought 3,000 acres in Wambaw Swamp.
From Hyde Park, his 600 acre resident plantation on the eastern branch
of the Cooper River, Ball managed his own tremendous holdings, supervised
the operations of the Wambaw partnership, and maintained a close watch on
the actions of the overseer at Laurens' Mepkin. In conjunction with his
planting, he had an interest in two schooners, the WAMBAW and the
SPEEDWELL. Considering the magnitude of his planting responsibilities, it
is understandable that he found little time for public duties. He was
elected to the Commons House in 1751 from St. John Berkely, but as had
his father, he declined to serve. In 1738 he was admitted to the South
Carolina Society.
At the time of his death 4 October 1765 John Coming Ball was a highly
successful planter as indicated by the acreage he owned.

42 Philip Gadsden Hasell, 80, of 128 S. Ravenel St., died Wednesday at his home.
Born in Charleston, he was a son of the late Duncan Ingram and Estelle Rhett Hasell. He was a retired civil engineer with the Federal Housing Administration.
He was an Army veteran of World War I and II and a graduate of Porter Military Academy and The Citadel.
Mr. Hasell was a member of St. John's Episcopal Church, the South Carolina Society of Civil Engineers, the American Society of Civil Engineers and St. Cecilia Society of Charleston.
Surviving are his widow, Mrs. Frances Hayne Hasell; two sons, Philip Gadsden Hasell, Jr., of Ann Arbor, Mich., and Adams Hayne Hasell of Columbia; a daughter, Mrs. Jean B.(Frances) LaBorde
of Columbia, and 16 grandchildren.
Services will be held at 2:30 p.m. Friday in St. John's Episcopal Church cemetery at Congaree.
Dunbar Funeral Home Devine Street Chapel is in charge.

Philip Gadsden ("Shrimp") Hasell was born in 1900. He attended private school in Montgomery, Alabama in 1908, but returned to South Carolina the next year to attend Porter Military Academy in Charleston. Following graduation he enrolled in The Citadel from which he graduated in 1920 with a B.S. degree in civil engineering. While attending Porter, he met Theodore Brevard Hayne (1898-1930), of Congaree, South Carolina, and the two young men became roommates at The Citadel. Their friendship was based in part on a mutual interest in mosquito-born diseases, especially malaria, which posed a serious public health concern in South Carolina through the end of World War II. After graduation from The Citadel, Theodore Hayne went on to a distinguished career as a malariologist before attending the Medical College of South Carolina. After medical school, Hayne resumed his work on mosquito-born diseases, and in 1928 he joined the Rockefeller Foundation's International Health Division and was assigned to the West Africa Yellow Fever Commission in Yaba, Nigeria.
In the years immediately after Philip Hasell's graduation from The CItadel in 1920, he worked in various positions with the Standard Oil.Company of New Jersey and the South Carolina Highway Department. Hasell and Theodore Hayne collaborated on a malaria survey in Lake City, Florida, as employees of the Public Health Service in 1922. The following year Hasell attended the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health for a course in Helminthology, Protozoology and Parisitology. From 1923 until 1928 be was employed by the Rockefeller Foundation to work on various projects with the South Carolina Board of Health as a malaria control engineer. He organized a malaria control survey of the Lake Murray Basin before the waters were impounded. After completing his work at Lake Murray, Hasell was in charge of malaria control, water and sewage purification and milk sanitation with the State Board of Health. From 1933 until 1931 Hasell served with the Public Health Service and was responsible for setting up and directing anti-malaria work in South Carolina. Following this assignment, he was in charge of the laboratory and experimental work with the Malaria Research Division of the State Board of Health. In February 1939 he was appointed Sanitary Engineer with the South Carolina Public Service Authority? and was assigned to the Santee-Cooper power and navigation project. Among the records documenting his work on this project are three journals (3 January 1938-31 August 1939; 1 September 1939-29 March 1940; and 1 April-6 December 1940, 24-26 February 1941). These journals record the myriad activities in which Hasell was engaged in his capacity as Sanitary Engineer. For instance, on 13 February 1939 he left Columbia at 6:15 a.m., arrived in Charleston at 9:15, and departed for the Pinopolis area to make a reconnaissance survey "down old canal from Biggin church to West Branch of Cooper river...found plenty of sedes Larvae." In addition to the more serious danger from contracting malaria, his duties entailed other perils for on 13 September 1939 he recorded that he "caught hell last nite with poison oak." He traveled that day and the next, but stayed home in bed for four days from Saturday the 9th until Tuesday the 12th. On the 18th he investigated a complaint about an outbreak of malaria at WPA Camp #1. Only two cases were confirmed and in both instances: the men were infected before arriving at the camp.
Malaria remained a serious public health problem in South Carolina throughout the 1930s. In 1930 malaria was responsible for the deaths of 16 of every 100,000 South Carolinians. Conditions in the rural counties in the lowcountry were far worse than those over the state as a whole. Orangeburg County accounted for more than ten percent of the state's deaths from malaria. These counties were also plagued by high unemployment and law capital investment.
The campaign to eradicate malaria from the five counties affected by the impoundment of the Santee and Cooper rivers is documented in this collection. It contains four hundred sixty-three manuscripts, 1930-1943, 1945; two hundred twenty-six photographs, ca. 1938-1942; seven manuscript volumes, 1930, 1932, 1937-1941; and one hundred fifty-six technical leaflets and other publications, 1914-1958, chiefly issued by the U.S. Public Health Service. In addition to the local population affected by the Santee-Cooper project, some of whom were replaced and relocated while others remained in the area, the Public Service Authority was responsible for more than twenty-five WPA camps housing approximately 6,000 workers. During the four years that Hasell worked with the Public Service Authority, he filed bi-monthly reports of activities. There are also progress reports of Dr. E.M. Rice, Director of the Health and Sanitation Division, and of E.T. Heyward who served as acting director after Rice left for military duty.
Hasell's correspondence and reports reveal the complexity of his job, as he was responsible for a number of different programs, even at one time overseeing the division's fleet of cars and trucks. When Hasell first went to work with the Public Service Authority, the thousands of acres to be covered by the impoundment of the rivers were being cleared. Much of the land was swampy with thick vegetation and trees. Most, if not all, of the photographs in the collection were taken by Hasell and processed by the Jack Rabbit Company in Spartanburg. Some of the photographs were taken before February 1939 when Hasell worked as an engineer with the Malaria Research Division of the State Board of Health. The photographs clearly reveal the magnitude of the task that confronted those involved in clearing the land and constructing dams as well as those who were combatting the mosquito population. The main thrust of the latter effort was to eradicate the mosquito population before the waters were impounded.
Hasell worked primarily in the areas around Pinopolis, Moncks Corner, and St. Stephen. He spent the majority of his time in the field collecting larvae, selecting locations for experimental impoundages, inspecting WPA camps, getting out mosquito traps, and working with local health departments and townspeople. Following a visit to Pinopolis and Moncks Corner in August 1939, he observed--"I would like to note here that the inhabitants of these two communities are rather primitive in the disposal of waste water and the methods used are most conducive to the production of enormous numbers of mosquitoes." After working in the area contiguous to the Santee diversion dam in February 1940, he attributed the slow progress of the work "to the fairly large area, 16 sq. miles of swamp, and the difficulty of traversing the terrain. There are numerous deep sloughs, large creeks, and two rivers to be crossed. Many patches of Myrtles, briars, and other underbrush, including cane brakes, make mapping tedious and retard progress."
Three crews under Hasell's supervision conducted larvicide operations which involved the application of larvicide oil on the surface of pools and ponds to eradicate mosquito larvae. In addition to clearing vegetation, crews dug and tiled drainage ditches and installed screens in houses over a broad area within one mile of the high water mark of the reservoir. WPA workers received typhoid inoculations, and the civilian population was given periodic blood examinations. One survey of African-American school children revealed an exceptionally high incidence of malaria.
With the outbreak of World War II and the active intervention of the United States after Pearl Harbor, many of the personnel who had been involved in the work on the Santee-Cooper project departed for military service. Hasell was becoming restless and was in correspondence with former colleagues who were serving in the military. His eagerness to join the military as a malaria control officer may have influenced his opinion of the work at Santee-Cooper when he wrote a former colleague on 11 March 1942 -"I am afraid to even think of what is going to happen around here this summer with the two reservoirs in the mess they are in. Neither have been properly prepared for impoundment and in addition to this, the water is to be raised in the summer months and still in addition no one in the outfit knows what in the hell it is all about....I am supposed to control malaria, handicapped by a technical staff composed of a Botany teacher from a girl's college, a Clinical Technician from the Baptist Hospital, an ex-bank clerk, and a country boy. None of which has ever had five minutes experience in any phase of public health work, this being their first job." As the work progressed in 1942 and 1943 a reduction in force occurred, and there was evidence of tighter bureaucratization and accountability. By 1943, the main emphasis of the work seemed to be the effort to screen houses within a specified distance of the lands that were to be flooded.
The correspondence and reports cease at the end of 1943, shortly before Philip Hasell left the project to begin training for malaria control work in the U.S. Army.
