Newspaper Abstracts are an unique and wonderful source of genealogical research for the State of South Carolina considering that the state did not officially start keeping vital records until 1911. The three newspapers included in this book are: The Highland Sentinel published at Calhoun, Anderson District, S.C.; The Anderson Gazette published at Anderson, S.C., with last record dated 1848; and The Anderson Intelligencer, beginning with 1860 down to 1878 and a few scattered issues.
