Wish to locate an original copy of the book "A Brief History of the
Fee Family· which was published in Chester, South Carolina, 1901.
I have copied a carbon-copy of a typescript belonging to a member
of the Dickey family, and probably made by Miss Jennie Lyle. I have
re-organized this material and indexed it for easy reference, and
will be glad to check it for anyone interested. The book traces
the descendents of Robert and Rachel Scott Fee of Chester District,
S. C., many of whom moved to Arkansas, until about 1900. I would
also like to hear from anyone interested in up-dating this work.
will gladly help anyone with Missouri connections, particularly in
the St. Louis area, for SASE.
EMRlE P. K, Blumer, Rt. 9, Midland, Mich., 48640 - My maternal
grandfather, CHARLES EMRlE, b. about 1840, perhaps
in England, He died sometime between 1905 and 1925, possibly in
Ft. Smith, Sebastian Co., Ark., or some other town in Ark., or Mo.,
or Kansas. He may have been a Confederate or Union or perhaps a
British Soldier. An old letter indicates that a "Charlie" perhaps
Charles Emrie) received a pension in about 1907. But U.S. pension
records do not contain his name, He was a limestone quarry manager
in 1880-84, and also carved inscriptions on limestone tombstones,
also did copper plate engravings. He may have been married before
he married my grandmother in 1882, in Humboldt, Iowa. I have found
the name EMRIE (an unusual spelling) in St. Louis, Kansas city, Mo.,
and Denver, Colo.
Incidentally; I can probably help persons interested in REMPEL
and BLUMER family lines.
