AI Notes
A duplicate scan of p643. A single-sheet typed certified-extract document with the compiler’s blue-ink heading ‘Grace Church / Camden, South Carolina’ at top. The body certifies that on January 15th 1874, Rev. B. F. D. Perry, Rector of the church, was buried in the cemetery (officiating clergyman Rev. John Johnson). Certified by Harry E. Lawhon, Jr., Rector of Grace Episcopal Church Camden, on the 13th day of June, 1969, before Willie M. Taylor, Notary Public for South Carolina. The certification cites the entry as appearing in the Parish Register at page 428. Content is identical to p643 with a slightly different signature placement on the rector’s signature; see p643 for the same record.
This is a duplicate scan of the certified extract shown on page 643. The content is identical; the rector’s signature placement is slightly different between the two copies, suggesting the rectory may have prepared two originals signed on the same day. Part of the c. 1969 Colonial Dames Papers #220 dossier prepared by Mrs. James Pickens Walker Jr. and Nancy McEwan Green.
