Frederica A. Black
Pickens — Frederica Alexander Black passed peacefully at Rose Hill Retirement Home in Marion, N.C., on Friday, Feb. 26, 2016.
She was born into this world on Feb. 6, 1919, in Pickens, a beloved daughter of Ernest Franklin and Frederica McDaniel Alexander.
Upon graduating Pickens High School, she married her one and only love — her high school sweetheart, Joseph William (Bill) Black. They married on June 22, 1938, and lived the majority of their near 72 years of marriage primarily in Pickens, where they lovingly raised their two children.
Mrs. Black was an incredibly kind, sweet and unassuming lady who devoted her entire life to her family. She was a beloved wife, sister, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. It was obvious to anyone who knew her that she treasured the role of homemaker and embraced it wholeheartedly.
Anyone who ever had the honor of gracing the door of her home was immediately and warmly made to feel welcome. She was genuinely gracious the entirety of her 97 years.
A beautiful Christian example not only for her family, she cherished volunteering in the First Baptist Church of Pickens 4 and 5 year olds Sunday School class for decades, where she both taught and played the piano. During that time period, she could be found every Saturday evening sitting in the living room at the upright piano going over the music for the following morning.
Surviving to remember her with love are her two children, Linda Black Wood (Richard) and Joseph Tribble Black (Kathy); granddaughters, Heather Wood Anderson (Greg) and Liza Wood Holmes (John); and two great-granddaughters, Grace and Molly Anderson.
In addition to her parents, Mrs. Black was predeceased by her much beloved husband, Joseph William (Bill) Black; younger sister and dearest friend, Julia McKenzie Alexander; and treasured older brother, Vincent Holley Alexander.
The family rests in the knowledge that this dear woman who spent her Earthly life making home a sweet and loving place for them is now receiving her welcome into her eternal home, which has been lovingly awaiting her arrival.
A service to celebrate Mrs. Black’s life will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 5, in the chapel of Robinson Funeral Home-Downtown Easley.
The family will receive friends prior to the service on Saturday from 10 until 10:45 a.m. at the funeral home.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Pickens Historical Society: PO Box 775, Pickens, SC 29671 or the Hospice of your choice.

Manse Jolly came home following the South’s surrender having left five dead brothers on the battlefields from North Carolina to Pennsylvania and finding his widowed mother and sister, Mary, subsisting in a wartorn land during the dark days of Reconstruction.
Unwilling to accept defeat, he set about reclaiming stolen property, killing Union troopers and raiding the garrison in downtown Anderson.
The two-act play written by Olivia Fowler includes original music and lyrics and some old favorites. Four gifted area musicians, Robert Wood, O.D. Hendricks, Matthew Oglesby and Carla Padget, also did all musical arrangements.
Robbie Morris appears as Manse Jolly, Tina LaFoy as his mother, Anne, Kay Rentz as his sister, Mary, and Rob Shelton plays the part of John Jolly’s ghost.

Reunion of Upcountry Families planned around Pickens County
By Lynda Abegg
For the Courier
news@thepccourier.com
SENECA — Want to find out if there are any skeletons hiding in the closet? Mildred Brewer not only knows how to find out, she provides instructions on how to start the quest.
As a certified Daughters of the American Revolution genealogist, Brewer considers it her mission to help people find their Revolutionary War ancestors.
“Of course, you may run into all sorts of interesting relatives along the way,” Brewer said.
Her presentation is part of the Reunion of Upcountry Families. In its sixth year, the three-day event is for families whose heritage goes back to the Old Pendleton District, which is comprised of the present-day counties of Anderson, Oconee and Pickens.
The free event will include genealogy workshops and cemetery tours. The final day, Saturday, will be devoted to family history, with a large display of family photos, old family Bibles and other items from local families at Southern Wesleyan University in Central.
The event will kick off on March 10 at the Captain Kimberly Hampton Memorial Library in Easley. Brewer will present a seminar entitled “Finding your Revolutionary War Ancestor with DAR Resources.”
“The DAR Library has one of the best collections of genealogical records, and there is so much history in this area,” Brewer said.
Brewer will explain how to use pension records, birth certificates and the census to locate ancestors. To register for Brewer’s seminar, call (864) 850-7077, ext. 112.
The DAR Library collection contains more than 225,000 books, 10,000 research files, thousands of manuscript items and special collections of African American, Native American and women’s history, genealogy and culture.
In its sixth year, the Reunion of Upcountry Families helps folks explore their heritage through a genealogical journey.
Nearly 40,000 family histories and genealogies comprise a major portion of the book collection, many of which are rare or available in only a few libraries in the country.
As part of the Reunion of Upcountry Families, Quientell Walker will conduct a seminar entitled “Heritage Quest and Revolutionary War Records.” Walker has a master’s degree in library science and is in charge of the historical room at the Captain Kimberly Hampton Memorial Library.
He has been interested in genealogy since he was a kid and takes pride in the historical room that contains more than 3,000 books, church histories, family histories and 1,500 rolls of microfilm from local newspapers. To register for Walker’s seminar, call (864) 850-7077, ext. 112.
“The thing I like most about my job is that I get to spend my time doing historical research, and history has always fascinated me,” Walker said.
Walker located the deed dated 1888 for land in Oconee County that was given to his ancestor, a former slave, as payment for his labor.
“That land is still being passed down by my family,” Walker added.
The Friday session will begin with a tour of the Eastatoe Valley.
“We will meet at McKinney Chapel and tour the Anderson and Nimmons cemeteries, as well as the Old Pickens Church and cemetery, ending with dinner at Collins Ole Town in Central,” event co-chair Anne Sheriff said.
Sheriff is also curator of the Clayton Genealogical Room at SWU, as well as curator of the Central History Museum.
The Saturday session will be held at SWU, with historic displays from area families and local genealogical and historical associations.
“That’s when people set up tables to display the old family Bibles and photographs and maps,” Sheriff said.
According to SWU assistant director of communications Ed Welch, Sheriff is a dedicated local historian and has been a guiding force, not only for the Clayton room, but with making the Reunion of Upcountry families the success it is today.
