The Tragedy of The Lady of the Precipice

By: Liz Simon, Staff Writer

There have been many stories passed down through the generations. One of the saddest in Kershaw County is the tragedy of the Lady of the Precipice, the lovely and gifted artist Rochella Blair.

Her family lived at Red Oak Camp plan tation near Big Lynches Creek and later at Dixie’s Retreat near Little Pine Tree Creek. Their home was built at the summit of a steep cliff, or 'precipice.'

Thirteen-year-old Rochella lost her mother Sallie, who was forty-nine, from uterine tumors in 1879. Doctor Simon Baruch, a surgeon who had served in the War Between the States operated on Sallie, but Sallie died days later from an infection. Dr. Baruch, as well as other area doctors used the large dining room table at The Cedars (Proctor Hall) in Camden for surgery. This antique table is featured in Proctor Hall today.

Rochella’s paternal great grandfather, Lovick Rochelle, was accused and tried for murder. He was found guilty and hung from the ‘Hanging Tree’ on the corner of Fair and Mill Street. Rochella’s paternal grandfather James Blair, a Fifth District US congressman for seven years in the Kershaw district died in 1834 by his own hand. No reason was given for his suicide, but he was addicted to laudanum.

Before Rochella was born, her father L.W.R. Blair, was elected in 1861 to captain of Blair’s Company, Holcombe Legion, because he had funded one company (120 soldiers) with uniforms, weapons, and provided them with pay. Promoted to Major in 1863, he resigned his position in 1863 to become a Confederate diplomat to Great Britain, France, Switzerland. He was at the court of Pope Pius IX in Rome, Italy when the war ended.

Rochella had one brother and four sisters; however, her father was her hero. In her teens, Rochella encouraged her father to publish and edit a newspaper in Camden, The Kershaw Gazette. Blair was also the editor of The Reform

Signal Paper that he edited for the state political party.

Even though Major Blair had controversial opinions and was very outspo ken, he was selected by the Independent Party (Green Back Labor Party) of South Carolina to run for governor in 1880. Blair almost won the election but lost because of election fraud.

In the summer of 1880, Blair served as a second to W.L. DePass in the infamous Cash-Shannon duel in South Carolina. Shannon was killed. After this, the state legislature passed a law, making duels/duel participations il legal. Blair was barred from holding a state office.

July 4, 1882, Blair was unarmed in downtown Camden on the corner of Rutledge and Broad Street when he was assassinated by one of his political enemies. The man fired five shots directly at Blair with a Spencer repeating rifle, and one bullet was fatal.

August 22, 1882, sixteen-year-old Rochella’s body was found by her sister Charlotte near the precipice near her home. In her hand, Rochella had the charcoal sketch of a picture illustrating her sitting in a chair looking at a plant with a skull growing out of the leaves. Later, Charlotte did a drawing of Rochella lying on a bed with five angels over her and two beside her. No one knows if it was murder or suicide because Rochella had been investigating and publishing articles about her father's death in the paper. Rochella had given her father an early birthday gift of a top hat. He wore it for the first time the day he was killed. It has been said that Rochella wanders throughout the area looking for her father’s top hat and cane.

In May 1884, Charlotte was asked to read a copy of one of the beautiful poems Rochella had written at the funeral of a family friend, Boggan Cash who was also murdered. As Charlotte read, the mourners witnessed what ap peared to be a ghostly apparition floating through the cemetery. The breeze blew the paper from Charlotte’s hand. It floated into the hands of what oth ers claim was Rochella’s ghost. Some of the lines from the poem: “And when thine image hath the seal of Heaven set, And angels guarding all thy paths are met, Nor sun of day, Nor countless stars of night, But in thy love made aught of light.”

Elgin Police Department Incident Reports

Civil Disturbance: On 10/18/2022 at approximately Officer Handy, re sponded to The Circle K located at 2507 Main St. in reference to a civil disturbance. Once on the scene, I was met by the Store Clerk who stated a customer was inside the store and was being very loud and he wanted her to leave. Before I could asked the unknown customer to leave, she agree to leave on her own. I asked the unknown female what was the reason for the disturbance, and she stated she came into the store to purchase an extra large cup coffee that was listed for $1.89. The female stated that once the coffee was scanned at the register, it came up more than $2.00 instead of the listed price of $1.89. Clerk stated that the price is $1.89, but he does not have the authority to override the price at the register. The female stated that she should be able to receive the coffee for the listed price, but she stated she would file an complaint with Circle K upper management. The female did leave the store without further incident.

Shoplifting: On 10/29/2022 Cpl. Delong, was dispatched to 2530 Main St. (Family Dollar) in the Town Limits of Elgin in reference to a Shop lifter. Upon my arrival, I was met outside by the Manager and Subject's Daughter. Both stated that Subject entered the store with a bookbag and began placing items in the bookbag. Manager was advised by a customer and confronted Subject. Manager then told Daughter what was happening. Daughter stated she confronted her mother and attempted to get her to put the items back and that is when Subject fled the store. Both Daugh ter and Manager gave me a description of Subject and her clothing and I began circulating the area. I checked the surrounding area and was unable to locate Subject at that time. I returned to Family Dollar and spoke to Daughter who called her mother and was advised Subject was trying to get to a residence on the corner of Smyrna Rd. and MeGee St. Officer and Daughter went to the residence and Subject called Daughter and stated she was hiding in the woods and needed to be picked up. Daughter then left and went to pick up Subject. Once Subject was in the vehicle and passed back by my location, I activated my blue lights and stopped the vehicle on Smyrna Rd. at Goff Ln. Since Subject had already fled once, I immediately exited my vehicle, approached the passenger side of the ve hicle, and detained Subject. Once I had Subject in investigative detention, I advised her the reason for the detention. Subject stated she did not take anything from the store and I could check her bag. Daughter handed my Subject's bag and inside were several items that appeared as if they could have come from Family Dollar with packaging removed. Items inside were nail polish, hair ties, nail files, fake eye lashes,and eye liner. I then contacted Fisher who responded to my location and confirmed the items came from her store. I then advised Subject she was under arrest for shoplifting and advised her of her Miranda Rights. After advising Subject of her Miranda Rights she did admit to taking the items from Family Dollar and stated she had a few more items stuffed in her boots. I then removed 5 cans of body spray from Subject's boots. All items were returned to Manager and Sub ject was also advised she would be Trespassed from Family Dollar. Upon arrival at the Kershaw County Detention Center, as Subject was being

processed, a folded piece of paper was located in the front left pocket of the pants she was wearing. Inside the paper were several small clear crystal like substance that appeared to be Methamphetamine. Upon collection of these items, they were field tested and did test positive to be Methamphetamine (less then 1 gram ). I then returned to the Elgin Police Department and completed a B.E.S.T Kit and placed it into evidence.

Public Disorderly Conduct: On 10/26/2022, around 11 am, Chief An ders heard a loud commotion coming from down the hall toward Town Hall. Chief Anders, Lt. Hines, Sgt Sinclair and Constable Rick Miller were all in the building and responded to the area on foot. Anders encountered a black female in the lobby, Wife, who appeared to be upset. Sgt. Sinclair was outside attempting to stop a black male (later identified as Subject). The Subject refused to stop for Sgt. Sinclair's verbal commands. Per our Clerk of Court,, the subject yelled loud gross profanity at her while in the lobby of Town Hall, stating "I'm not scared of you or the f&*%$# Police" before fleeing on foot. Anderse and Sgt. Sinclair were able to locate the subject on Main St. approx 200 yards from Town Hall. He was detained and brought back to Town Hall. Subject was later charged on a UTT for Public Disorderly Conduct and released from the scene. Apparently, Wife is filing for divorce and they came to the wrong court to file the paperwork when the incident occurred.

Assult Simple/On 10-25-2022, R/O was dispatched to Dollar General for a panic alarm and someone screaming on the phone. R/O arrived on the scene and saw Officer Handy talking to a W/F in front of the store. Of ficer Bailey went inside the store and spoke with the Manager who stated the W/F out front who was speaking with Officer Handy (Subject), came in the store and up to Manager at the cash register asking her where the Gatorade was located. Manager stated they did not have any and Subject did not answer because she was on her phone. Subject continued talking to someone else the duration of the time she interacted with Manager. Sub ject stated she found the Gatorade and water and Manager stated Subject was still on her phone. Subject was getting more loud with Manager and began cussing at her. Store Customer, stated she told Subject that she was rude for her yelling and cussing at Manager. Subject told Customer, "What are you going to do about it?" Subject stated that she was surrounded by Customer and other customers and they told her to leave, an that's when Subject stepped forward and yelled again,"What are you going to do about it?" Customer, who is pregnant and holding a toddler at the time, stated Subject pushed her across the chest and went outside of the store to wait on the police. EPD has requested the video from Dollar General. Written statements were given. Investigation pending.

Petit Larceny: Complainant stated she was washing clothes at Dirty Laundry in the Town Limits of Elgin, when she left two bed comforters dryer. Complainant stated that when she returned from dinner, both com forters were gone. Complainant valued both comforters at approx. $150.00. She spoke with the owner of the establishment and he stated he would check there video footage. A copy of this report was given to Complainant.

Featuring: South by Sunset

little white house on the corner of Church Street and Blaney Road has become a second home for Elgin native Stacey Bryant Small. In early 2022, Small opened South by Sunset in the house, creating a home base to serve her existing book of hair clients and giving her retail space to share the fruits of her crafty labor.

always been a crafty person and found an artistic outlet in furniture,” says Small. “After 2020, I also began looking into ways to eliminate toxins that are found in so many of our products and began making my own soaps and shampoo bars. I wanted to open my own place to have both my hair business and my creative business, and as that evolved, I wanted to give other artists a space to showcase their creations without risk.”

For Small, her store is more than just a retail space, it is an outlet for creativity – both hers and that of her vendors.

“I am truly blown away at the amazing talent of my vendors and so many others out there. I am still finding more and more people who are brilliant at the creations they make, and I welcome even more talent into my shop,” says Small. “My vendors pay no rent to house their goods and pay a small commission only when their products sell.”

The path towards opening her own shop began in 2018, as she and her husband, son and daughter built their home in Tookiedoo, near the house where she grew up.

“I have been a hairstylist for over 18 years in the Columbia area, mostly in Northeast Columbia, and I was ready to come across the county line and work in my hometown of Elgin,” says Small.

The little white house in downtown Elgin was the perfect place to launch her dream. One of the most recognizable buildings in the town of Elgin, the home was built in the early 1900s by Blaney’s town physician, Dr. WIllam Grigsby. Until his death in 1948, Grigsby attended patients and compounded medicine at the home. The home was then sold to Ira Otis and Liddie Perry Goff as a family home. More recently, the home has housed an attorney’s office, church offices and even a recording arts studio. Small plans for the white house to be home for a long while. “I hope to be here for many years to come,” says Small.

Despite the challenges a new small business can face, Small plans to persevere.

“My ultimate goal is to leave a legacy for my children and to show them that hard work, dedication, passion, and ambition are the pillars of success,” says Small.

Through the process of getting the shop up and running she has been able to cultivate relationships with other small businesses and community members.

“I want to build our village and community by connecting with our local population, and I enjoy meeting people who are doing the same,” says Small. “I love learning about our local farms and what other families are doing to build sustainability within our changing economy. I want to build our little salon and shop into a lasting Elgin staple. I love seeing others succeed, so featuring other artists and having a comfortable environment for stylists and clients is a must for me.”

Small’s goal of creating a community around her shop comes from a strong foundation laid within her by family and friends.

“My family has been so supportive of this business venture! From all the advice and hands on help, they have been the backbone of this for me, allowing me this dream of owning my own salon and shop,” says Small.

South by Sunset offers salon services and organic, non-toxic hair care in the back of the house. The front of the house features local artisans with a variety of goods, including pottery, artwork, wreaths, handmade baskets, soaps, children's clothing, handkerchiefs, jewelry, refinished furniture and vintage items. They also offer unique products from artisans all over the state of SC. The shop is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm, and salon by appointment. South by Sunset can be reached at 803.572.5249 or stop by 1205 Church Street in Elgin.

KCSO Deputies Visit Gamecocks

Your KCSO deputies are assisting the Uni versity of South Carolina Police Department (Division of Law Enforcement & Safety) with security at the USC Gamecocks home football games. We started this last season after a group of unruly fans created an inci dent that led to officers getting outnumbered and injured during a game. USC saw the need to step up security at their football games. With limited staffing within the USC Police Department and bordering agencies, they made the decision to reach out to bordering counties. This was made easier due to the part nerships of the area sheriffs. Sheriffs are able to reach out to other sheriffs for immediate assistance without the need of council approval. Due to the great partnership between Richland and Kershaw County sheriffs, your KCSO was able to start assisting with security at the very next home game. Partnerships are very important within today’s law enforcement agencies.

Note: USC is paying for all KCSO deputies who volunteer. No Kershaw Coun ty tax dollars are spent on USC football games.This gives your KCSO deputies an opportunity to make extra money on a voluntary basis. They enjoy working the games and the USC Police Department takes very good care of them. A special shout out to Sgt Billy Sowell for his supervision and coordination of this detail.

Unity Day at Stover 'Pink Out' at CLC

On Friday, October 21, CLC "pinked out" to raise awareness about breast cancer, celebrate cancer survivors, and remember the lives lost.

We would like to thank student River Truesdell and her community men tor, Mrs. Olivia Caudill, who is also a breast cancer survivor, for making pink ribbons for students, faculty, and staff to wear. River and Mrs. Caudill also made goody bags for cancer survivors here at CLC and Head Start. Our very own Ms. Josephine Addison is a two-time breast cancer survivor. We love you, Ms. Josephine, and are so proud to say you are "cancer free!"

tion saves lives. Through the Best Chance Network program, CMC is now providing services for women to be screened at the West Wateree Medical

ceived anti-bullying bracelets. Students and staff also wore orange for unity.

Above: River Truesdell (right) and her mentor, Mrs. Olivia Caudill (left), a breast cancer survivor, made pink ribbons for faculty/staff and students to wear on CLC's Pink Out Day. Pink ribbons raise awareness about breast cancer, as well as raise funds for prevention programs, support services, and vital cancer research.
