Cyrus A. Singleton Jr. was killed by a train the day before he left for college more than 100 years ago. Emma Rivers was crushed by a chimney during the Cyclone of 1879. Both were buried in Live Oak Cemetery after their deaths. Discover the stories behind these tragic deaths and others during a tour of the two sections of Walterboro’s historic Live Oak Cemetery. The tour will also discuss burial practices of more than a century ago as well as the language of tombstones.

The tour is appropriate for Adults and Kids, age 12+.

An 1879 map of Walterboro shows the destruction caused by the Cyclone of 1879. An 1898 map of the town shows livery stables, blacksmiths and wheelwright shops instead of auto shops. A 1953 map of the town shows the new sub-division of Forest Hills. Come explore a variety of maps with local historian, Elizabeth Laney, showcasing the history of the town of Walterboro and Colleton County including maps from the 1820’s through 1990’s – a century and a half of maps!
