This is a very neat old book. The book contains Marriage Notices by date with a name cross referenced index in the back. The “Introduction” of the book contains the history of the new newspaper the “ Charleston Courier.” The book was published in 1919 by the Historical Commission of South Carolina, Columbia, S.C. This is a copy of the third printing dated 1965. The soft cover book measures 5 3/8 inches by 8 inches and contains 83 pages. The cover is securely attached. The cover shows minor signs of war and some fading. The pages show no signs of rips. Exceptions noted, the overall condition of this book is near very good.

Note: The names are too numerous to list here. I would be glad to answer specific questions upon request.

His connection with the Courier ceased only with his death fifty-nine years later…
