UPDATE JUNE 2017: "The War Between The States" AVAILABLE NOW. It's 1861 and the call for volunteers to defend the state of South Carolina have gone out. This second book in the Walking With Ghosts series once again combines fictional story telling with factual recitation of the battles our family fought during the war years, with information on the 2nd, 9th/6th, 15th, 19th, 20th and 23rd (Hatches) South Carolina Volunteer Infantry Regiments, Garden's Palmetto Light Artillery, Rion's Battalion (7th), the Kirkwoods Independent Cavalry Unit and the 3rd Palmetto Light Artillery Battalion and the battles each were engaged in during the war.

Research
for
our
Ives
family
is
ongoing,
as
a
result
this
is
a
work
in
progress.
Mary
Rosa
Ives
McLeod
was
my
great
grandmother,
a
strong
woman
who
helped
raised
eleven
stepchildren,
run
Whites
Mill
in
Sumter,
South
Carolina
and
Ives
Dairy
in
the
Miami
Dade
area
of
Florida.
Born
just
after
the
Civil
War,
she
grew
up
in
a
South
ravaged
by
the
aftermath
of
that
war.
Her
father,
Joseph
Freeman
Ives,
was
a
Confederate
Soldier
who
lost
two
of
his
four
brothers,
and
several
of
his
cousins
in
the
war.
He
was
in
the
Battle
of
Gettysburg
and
at
Appomatox.
Much

From
the
Research
of
Donald
Ross
McLeod
Jr.
Josiah
and
Penelope
Ives
are
the
earliest
of
our
ancestors
we
have
been
able
to
trace
through
recorded
data.
It
is
not
known
for
certain
when
they
came
to
the
United
States,
but
they
were
in
the
Edgecombe
District
of
North
Carolina
(near
Rocky
Mountain)
in
the
1700's.
Wills
and
deeds
from
North
Carolina
were
researched
from
1732
to
1758
and
although
one
Ives
and
several
Ross'
were
found,
there
was
no
reference
to
Josiah
and
Penelope.
They
were
possibly
the
next
generation.
Records
for
this
area
from
the
years
1759
-1810
will
need
to
researched
to
determine
more
of
the
Ives
origins.
A
document
on
file
in
the
Sumter
County
Court
House,
South
Carolina,
shows
that
they
deeded
a
slave,
named
Nancy,
to
their
son
Matthew
William
Ives
and
his
wife
Julia
Ann
Freeman
on
1
Oct
1799.
This
document
indicates
that
Josiah
and
Penelope
resided
in

Census

had

Census
of
that
same
area
recorded
that
Matthew
William
Ives
was
born
in
North
Carolina
around
the
year
1798.
This
would
then
indicate
that
the
move

took

between

The
1860
Census
shows
that
dwelling
numbers
541
-
545
were
the
homes
of
the
Ross
and
Ives
families.
William
and
Sarah
Ross,
their
son
James
and
daughter
Mariah
Richburg
(w/o
William
H.A.
Richburg)
and
her
family
occupied
dwellings
541
-
543
with
William
and
Julia
Ives,
their
sons
William
and
Charles
at
dwellings
544
and
545
and
566.
Charles
J
Ives
was
now
married
and
29
years
old
working
as
an
overseer,
with
a
wife,
Elizabeth
aged
24
and
two
children,
Robert
aged
3
and
William
M.
aged
2.
Their
dwelling
no.
was
545,
next
door
to
his
parents.
William
Thomas
Ives,
the
twin
of
Joseph,
was
also
married
by
1860,
living
at
dwelling
no.
566,
aged
26
and
married
to
Amanda,
aged
16.
The
census
shows
that
Amanda
was
born
in
Alabama.
Between
1860
and
1870,
along
with
the
death
of
Matthew
Ives,
Sr.,
the
War
between
the
States
occured
bringing
major
changes
to
the
Ives
family.
On
April
8
1861,
Charles,
Joseph,
James
and
William
enlisted
in
the
Confederate
Army.
Henry
was
old
enough
to
enlist,
however,
we
have
found
no
record
that
he
did
so.
By
the
1870
Census,
William
was
dead,
killed
at
Adams
Run
Fort
Wagner
on
March
14,
1864.
His
widow,
Amanda,
applied
for
a
Widow
Pension
on
June
3,
1920
at
the
age
of
79.
James
was
also
dead
having
been
killed
July
10,
1863
at
Morris
Island
.
Both
William
and
James
are
listed
on
the
Sumter
Monument
to
the
Confederate
Dead.
Charles,
although
he
enlisted,
did
not
report
for
duty
and
records
show
that
he
was
listed
a
deserter
on
at
least
one
roster.
It
can
be
assumed
from
the
date
of
his
third
child's
birth
that
Elizabeth
was
pregnant
at
the
beginning
of
the
war
and
that
could
have
been
a
factor
in
his
not
reporting.
Also,
Matthew
had
died
leaving
Julia
Ann
a
widow,
and
although
we
have
not
found
any
record
to
date
of
Henry
enlisting,
it
is
possible
that
Julia
and
Elizabeth
convinced
Charles
that
he
could
not
fight
along
with
all
his
brothers.
Joseph
survived
the
war
and
returned
to
Sumter
to
marry
his
cousin,
Sarah
Ross.
He
helped
his
mother,
Julia
Freeman
Ives,
farm
the
property.
Although
Joe
moved
to
Ojus,
Florida
in
1903
after
Sarah's
death
in
1902,
he
returned
to
Sumter
and
was
buried
at
Tirzah
Baptist
Church
next
to
Sarah
in
1909.)

- Sarah

aged

- Charles

The
Census
also
shows
a
Eugenia
aged
21
but
as
the
writing
is
unclear,
it
could
read
aged
2
or
age
31
and
be
Charles'
sister
Eugenia.
A
black
boy
named
Wesley
is
listed
in
the
dwelling
as
well,
no.
288.
(Wesley
was
the
grandson
of
Uncle
Mingo,
a
slave
until
the
war).
In
that
same
census
(1870)
-
Julia
Ann
Ives
is
listed
as
head
of
household
at
dwelling
no.
270.
- The
real
estate
is
valued
at
$500.00
and
personal
posessions
at
$100.
- Her
birthplace
is
shown
as
South
Carolina.
- Mary
is
still
living
with
her
at
the
age
of
21.
Using
the
census
of
1850
and
60,
Mary
was
actually
24.
A
Eugenia
is
also
shown
as
living
there
with
an
age
listed
as
24.
Using
the
census
of
1850
and
60,
she
would
have
been
30.
This
could
have
been
family
help
and
not
the
daughter
Eugenia
shown
in
the
earlier
census.
NOTE:
The
1870
Census
shows
a
Eugenia
living
in
both
the
home
of
Charles
and
Elizabeth
and
the
home
of
Julia
Ann.
Eugenia
Ives
would
have
been
31
and
as
the
writing
is
illegible
near
the
entry
for
Eugenia
living
with
Charles,
but
appears
to
be
21
it
is
quite
possible
that
Julia
Ann's
daughter
was
living
with
her
brother
and
that
the
Eugenia,
at
24,
living
with
Julia
Ann
could
have
been
family
help.
Interviews
with
family
and
family
records
have
given
no
indication
as
to
which
is
correct.
In
that
same
census
(1870)
- Joseph,
aged
35,
is
shown
living
in
dwelling
no.
271.
- His
personal
property
value
was
$165.00
with
no
amount
given
in
the
Real
Estate
column,
this
probably
means
that
dwelling
271
was
on
the
property
owned
by
Julia
Ann.
Joseph
was
now
married
to
- Sarah
Ann
Ross,
aged
32
in
this
census,
with
three
children;
- James
W.,
aged
2,
-
Mary
aged

-

County,
SC.
Although
he
was
nearly
30,
married,
and
had
two
young
children,
he
enlisted
1/14/1862
at
Columbia,
SC,
as
a
Private
in
Co
E,
7th
Battalion
of
South
Carolina
Infantry.
(aka
the
Enfield
Rifles,
or
Nelson's
Battalion).
Although
he
clearly
enlisted,
it
is
unclear
if
he
ever
actually
served
with
the
battalion.
A
unit
return
for
February
1862,
indicates
he
"refused
to
report
at
camp,"
and
surviving
company
muster
lists
for
July/August
1862
list
him
as
a
deserter.
He
may
have
had
a
premonition.
He
was
the
only
one
of
three
brothers
named
Ives
on
this
company's
muster
rolls
to
survive
the
war.
(note:
this
is
incorrect,
although
James
and
William
both
died,
Joseph
survived)

Had
men
from
Kershaw,
Sumter,
Richland,
Clarendon,
Barnwell,
Edgefield,
Fairfield,
Colleton,
Lexington,
Chesterfield
and
Orangeburg
Districts.
Its
commander
was
Captain
B.
E.
Boykin.
Because
all
the
companies
of
the
battalion
had
been
raised
directly
for
Confederate
service
"for
the
war,"
they
were
designated
to
be
equipped
with
Enfield
Rifles,
which
were
in
short
supply
at
the
time.
Thus,
the
battalion
is
often
referred
to
as
the
7th
SC
Battalion
(Enfield
Rifles).
The
battalion
itself
is
also
frequently
referred
to
as
Nelson's
Battalion
or
Rion's
Battalion
as
those
men
were
its
only
commanders.

Rosa's

and
the
fact
that

indicates
that

Greetings~!
I
grew
up
in
north
Miami
with
baseball
hall
of
famer
"Steve
Carlton"
my
neighbor,
1950-69.
Steve's
grandmother
had
a
farm
at
the
NE
intersection
of
SR9
and
183
street
across
from
"velda
dairy".
we
used
to
hunt
just
north
of
maule
lake
(just
north
of
the
carleton
farm).
one
day
we
kept
thinking
there
were
more
doves
and
quail
on
the
ives
dairy
property.
so
we
climbed
the
fence
and
hunted
for
a
while.
this
year
would
have
to
have
been
1956
or
57,
we
were
about
11-12
at
that
time.
mr
ives
manager
picked
us
up
in
his
pickup
truck
with
shotguns
laid
in
the
bed
and
drove
us
to
mr.
ives
who
was
sitting
on
a
chair
on
a
lake
or
water
pond.
mr.
ives
lectured
us
on
"trespassing,
honesty
and
integrity"
and
vowed
to
through
our
shotguns
in
that
lake.
we
profusely
apologized
for
trespassing,
it
was
such
a
large
farm
that
we
thought
nobody
would
care,
then
after
the
lecture,
he
had
his
manager
drive
us
back
to
our
bikes.
i
have
later
been
to
the
ives
home,
near
the
school.
but
my
question
is,
which
mr.
ives
would
have
been
the
lecturer
in
those
years?
which
mr.
ives?
and
was
mattie
alive
then
too?
i
am
working
on
a
family
biography
and
tidbits
keep
popping
up.
thanking
you
in
advance,
richard,
north
miami,
fl
...as
i
recall
as
a
kid,
the
ives
dairy
property
went
from
a
canal
on
the
south
to
SR-9
on
the
east,
to
the
county
line
road
(199th
st)
on
the
north
and
SR-7
on
the
west.
you
could
not
see
in,
it
was
fenced
off
with
an
entry
around
where
ives
dairy
road
and
interchange
now
sits.
possibly,
the
first
dairy
was
subdivided
into
two
dairies
at
one
time.
i
will
check
with
the
south
florida
historical
society.
you
can
look
up
a
yahoo
map
and
see
those
boundaries.
later
my
landlord,
stuart
perlman,
who
owned
lumm's
and
"caesers
world"
casino's
bought
and
subdivided
the
property
for
the
development
of
the
"california
club
estates".
i
visited
the
ives
farm
house
in
the
60's
with
a
kid
who
was
supposed
to
be
an
ives
grandson
that
lived
in
that
house
which
is
behind
the
school
to
the
north.
i
can't
remember
his
name
at
the
moment,
but
he
was
a
blondish
teenager
with
a
black
'57
chevy
as
i
recall
(we
had
illegal
street
drag
races
in
those
days).
i
want
to
learn
more
as
these
stories
come
up
more
often
as
i
get
older.
Note:
Love
the
story!
Unsure
of
which
Dairy
this

book
"Ives
in

by
Ken

(ICSR,
SR-NC)
William
T.
Ives.
Born
about
1835
near
Sumter,
SC,
he
was
the
son
of
William
Matthew
Ives
and
Julia
Freeman,
and
the
twin
brother
of
Joseph
Freeman
Ives.
"Billy"
Ives
enlisted
1/14/1862
at
Columbia,
SC,
as
a
Private,
Co.
E,
7th
Battalion
of
South
Carolina
Infantry
(aka
Enfield
Rifles,
or
Nelson's
Battalion).
The
earliest
record
of
his
service
is
a
regimental
return
for
February
1862
that
indicates
he
failed
to
return
to
his
unit
at
the
expiration
of
a
7-day
furlough
granted
on
1/24/1862.
He
is
also
listed
as
AWOL
on
muster
lists
for
July/August
1862,
but
apparently
eventually
returned
to
the
battalion.
By
fall
of
that
year
he
was
listed
as
being
hospitalized
in
Columbia,
SC.
He
returned
to
the
battalion
in
early
1863.
On
1/18/1863
he
was
admitted
to
General
Military
Hospital
#4
at
Wilmington,
SC
(sic
–
maybe
NC?)
for
treatment
of
diarrhea,
returning
to
duty
briefly
on
2/9/1863.
He
was
soon
hospitalized
again,
this
time
at
Adams
Run,
SC,
where
he
died
of
typhoid
fever
3/28/1863.
William
had
married
prior
to
the
war
(8/1/1854).
In
1920
his
widow,
Amanda
(maiden
name
unknown,
b.
3/14/1839)
applied
for
a
Confederate
pension
while
living
in
Clio,
SC.
In
her
pension
application,
Amanda
gave
the
date
of
her
husband's
death
as
3/14/1864,
2
weeks
earlier
than
the
date
shown
in
his
military
records.
If
her
recollection
was
correct,
then
her
husband
would
have
died
on
her
own
birthday.

On
July
10,
1863,
near
Charleston
Harbor,
Federal
troops
landed
on
Morris
Island
for
the
assault
on
Fort
Wagner
under
the
cover
of
fire
from
Ironclads
-
USS
Catskill,
Commander
GW
Rodgers;
The
Montauk,
Commander
Fairfax;
the
Nahant,
Commander
Downes,
and
the
Weehawken,
Commander
Calhoun,
all
ships
from
the
South
Atlantic
Blockading
Squadron.
During
the
day,
the
Confederates
poured
60
shots
into
the
Catskill,
6
shots
into
the
Nahant,
and
2
into
the
Montauk.
Despite
the
success
of
the
Confederates
in
repelling
the
attack,
James
Ives
was
among
those
Confederates
killed
that
day.
On
July
11,
1863,
Brig.
Gen.
Quincy
A.
Gillmore
realized
a
larger
attacking
force
was
needed.
On
July
18th,
another
assault
was
made
with
the
gunboats
beginning
their
fire
shortly
after
noon,
when
the
tide
permitted
them
to
get
within
300
yards
of
the
fort.
The
54th
Mass,
a
negro
regiment,
entered
the
fight
losing
1515
of
6000
men.
Although
the
Confederate
guns
were
silenced
under
the
Ironclads
assault,
the
Fort
still
stood
and
the
Federal
troops
decided
a
seige
was
the
way
to
defeat
the
enemy
instead
of
a
frontal
attack.

Joseph's

wrote
in

On

at
the
end
of
his
12
month
enlistment,
he
and
twenty
other
seasoned
verterans

joined
with
their
Sergeant,
Hugh
Richardson
Garden
in
forming
what
was
to
become
Garden's
Battery
of
the

Artillery.
Joe
served
as
a
cannoneer
and
teamster.
Although
capable
of
handling
each
of
the
gun
crew
positions,
it
was
said
that
he
preferred
taking
care
of
the
horses.
Family
lore
has
it
that
at
one
point
in
the
war,
when
he
himself
was
shoeless,
he
made
sure
that
each
horse
in
his
care
had
shoes.

an
engagement
before
Suffolk
5/3/1863.
The
following
day,
they
marched
north
and
rejoined
Lee's
army.
They
crossed
the
Potomac
6/26/1863,
bound
for
Pennsylvania.
At
Gettysburg
they
supported
Longstreet's
attack
on
the
Union
left
7/2/1863.The
following
day,
they
were
again
engaged
against
the
Union
left.
Later
in
the
day,
they
were
shifted
to
the
center,
where
they
participated
in
the
bombardment
of
Cemetery
Ridge
in
preparation
for
Picket's
Charge.
After
Gettysburg,
they
continued
to
serve
with
the
Army
of
Northern
Virginia
throughout
the
battles
of
1864,
in
the
trenches
before
Petersburg,
and
during
the
Appomatox
Campaign.
Joseph
appears
to
have
been
with
the
battery
from
his
enlistment
until
early
1864,
serving
most
of
that
time
as
a
teamster.
In
early
1864
he
was
granted
a
furlough,
from
which
he
returned
5/26/1864.
He
is
listed
as
present
on
the
battery's
muster
roll
for
January/February
1865
(the
last
surviving
muster
roll).
He
was
paroled
at
Appomatox
Court
House
4/9/1865.
A
descriptive
roll
of
Appomatox
POWs
gives
his
age
as
30,
indicating
he
was
probably
born
about
1835.
Joseph
was
probably
present
at
most
of
the
battles
fought
by
the
Army
of
Northern
Virginia
from
2nd
Manassas
to
Appromatox,
although
in
no
case
is
his
presence
proven.
His
signature
on
pay
vouchers
and
clothing
receipts
proves
his
presence
on
4/9
and
7/31/1864,
as
well
as
in
January,
August,
September,
and
December
of
1864.

lost
not
only
his
friend
and

Donald
to
the
cause,
but
also
his
twin
brother
at

Of

only
two
survived,
Joseph

1st
Lt.
James
M.
Ross
of
Nelson's
Battaliaon
(Enfield
Rifles)
returned
home
and
lived
to
ripe

ages.
James
Ross
was
Donald's
older
brother.
On
July
3,
1863,
Joe
Ives
was
personally
thrust
into
history.
In
an
unprecedented
action,
Lt.
Alex
McQueen
of
Sumter,
South
Carolina,
had
taken
his
howitzer
and
crew
forward
with
the
men
of
Pickett's
Charge.
After
inflicting
heavy
damage
to
the
enemy,
they
were
caught
in
counter-fire
from
twenty
Yankee
cannon
on
Round
Top.
McQueen
and
his
crew
were
badly
wounded
by
the
devastation
which
also
killed
the
horses
and
disabled
the
howitzer
and
they
were
stranded
in
the
middle
of
the
raging
battle.
Captain
Garden
called
for
volunteers
to
go
with
him
into
the
midst
of
the
battlefield
to
rescue
the
helpless
gun
crew.
To
a
man,
his
men
stepped
forward.
He
picked
five
of
his
bravest
and
strongest
men,
Joe
among
them.
Joe
Ives
took
a
fresh
team
of
horses
and
with
Captain
Garden
and
the
other
rescuers,
made
his
way
through
the
dead
and
wounded.
After
being
driven
back
twice
by
enemy
fire,
they
reached
their
comrades.
The
wounded
men
and
the
disabled
gun
were
all
returned
to
the
Battery's
position
on
the
field
at
Gettysburg.

Joseph
Ives
continued
his
service
to
the
Confederacy
until
the
surrender
at
Appomattox.
Although
Privates
were
not
issued
horses,
Captain
Garden
made
sure
his
Teamster,
Joe
Ives,
had
one
for
his
journey
back
to
South
Carolina.
Joe's
long
trek
back
home
from
Virginia
was
uneventful
until
reaching
a
deep
ravine
north
of
Camden.
A
foot-log
stretched
over
the
ravine
was
the
only
way
across
and
his
horse
refused
to
get
on
the
log.
Joe
dismounted,
removed
his
saddle
and
proceeded
across.
Upon
reaching
the
other
side,
he
felt
a
nudge
in
his
back
and
found
that
his
horse
had
followed
him.
Joe
remounted
and
rode
on
to
his
home.
He
and
his
horse,
both
veterans
of
the
great
war,
plowed
the
sandhills
of
South
Carolina
for
the
next
sixteen
years.
After
Joe's
return
to
South
Carolina,
he
married
his
cousin,
Sarah
Ann
Ross,
sister
of
Donald
and
James
Ross.
Their
only
son
was
named
James
William
Ives
after
Joe's
two
brothers
who
did
not
return
from
the
war.
His
first
grandson,
born
to
his
daughter,
Rosa
Ives
McLeod,
was
given
the
name
Donald
Ross
McLeod.
Joseph
F.
Ives
is
pictured
below
with
his
beloved
grandson,
Donald
Ross
McLeod
(SR),
who
was
my
father.
(The
photograph
was
taken
around
1905.)
The
original
Donald
Ross
was
a
cousin
of
Joe.
Donald
Ross
enlisted
in
Company
D,
of
the
2nd
South
Carolina
Infantry
along
with
Joe
and
they
fought
side
by
side
through
the
early
battles
of
the
war
until
April
8,
1862
when
Joe
joined
up
with
Garden
to
form
what
became
Garden's
Battery
of
the
Palmettto
Light
Artillery.

The
Palmetto
Battery,

Company
of

Division,
1st
Corps
(Gen'l

Gleaned
from
the
Book
"Southern
Bronz"
by
Glenn
Dedmondt
Over
the
period
of
June
15
-
July
1
1863,
the
Palmetto
Battery
marched
175
miles
into
the
"heart
of
the
Union"
(Glenn
Dedmondt
"Southern
Bronze").
By
the
time
of
the
Battle
at
Gettysburg,
the
Battery
was
left
with
only
one
12
lb
field
howitzer
and
three
12
lb
Napoleons.
Although
the
howitzer,
unable
to
fire
solid
shot
and
with
a
range
of
only
1,070
yards
was
considered
to
be
the
least
important
gun
in
the
battery,
Lt.
Alex
McQueen
remained,
despite
offers
to
command
the
Napoleons,
gun
commander
of
it.
As
the
battle
deteriorated
around
them,
Lee
and
Col.
Alexander
called
for
guns
to
go
forward
with
the
infantry,
any
crew
with
fifteen
or
twenty
rounds
left.
Lt.
McQueen
immediately
went
forward
through
the
mangled
ruins
of
men
and
weaponry,
leading
the
way,
actually
outdistancing
the
infantry
they
were
supporting.
Only
five
guns
went
forward,
responding
to
Lee
and
Alexanders'
requests.
Lt
McQueen
and
his
men
were
the
forward
most
positioned.
Twenty
Yankee
cannon
began
to
bombard
the
men
and
the
"one
solitary
gun".
The
horses
were
killed
and
wounded,
McQueen
was
struck
in
the
thigh,
and
all
but
one
of
the
remaining
six
men
were
injured.
The
men
sought
"protection"
in
order
to
survive
while
the
Infantry
marched
on.
Captain
Garden
said
"There
for
the
first
and
only
time
during
the
entire
war,
I
felt
compelled
to
encourage
my
men
by
personal
example".
He
called
for
volunteers
to
go
with
him
into
the
"maelstrom".
With
a
fresh
team
of
horses,
the
rescue
crew
went
to
recover
their
comrades
from
the
enemy
fire.
The
men
in
the
rescue
team
were
Capt.
Garden,
Sgt.
J.
Henry
Wilson,
Joseph
F.
Ives,
Cpl.
John
J.
Green,
James
Diggs
Wilder,
all
of
Sumter
County
and
Lawrence
W.
Scarborough.
Twice
they
were
driven
back
by
the
enemy
fire
but
upon
arriving
found
the
fifteen
year
old
Bill
Grady
calmly
sitting
on
the
trail
protecting
his
wounded
comrades.
After
the
daring
rescue
of
the
howitzer,
Garden
and
the
men
were
forced
to
abandon
it
on
the
long
march
on
July
5th.
The
Battery
also
said
goodbye
to
two
of
their
comrades,
Robert
Small
and
Thomas
McIntosh.
"....the
greatest
battles
in
history
are
composed
of
many
smaller
but
monumentally
more
significant
battles.
And
in
these
personal
contests,
death
is
not
the
determinant
of
who
is
defeated
and
who
is
victorious.
To
die
bravely
for
a
cause
that
is
just
is
above
all
things
most
noble
and
the
last
victory
in
one's
life.
Robert
Small
and
Thomas
McIntosh
laid
down
their
lives
in
the
line
of
duty
for
what
they
believed
and
gave
the
most
that
men
can
give."......Glenn

When
James
William
Ives,
son
of
Joe
and
Sarah,
grew
up,
he
worked
to
build
the
train
rails
down
into
the
state
of
Florida.
Upon
reaching
the
Miami
Dade
area,
he
decided
to
make
his
home
there.
He
and
his
wife,
Madie
Cason,
founded
the
Ives
Dairy
with
the
help
of
Madie's
parents
and
became
active
and
respected
members
of
the
community.
A
Middle
school
was
named
after
Madie
Ives
and
a
highway
after
the
Dairy
(Ives
Dairy
Road).

After
Sarah's
death
in
1902,
Joseph
Freeman
Ives
and
his
grandson,
Donald
Ross
McLeod
Sr.,
went
to
live
for
a
time
with
the
James
and
Madie
in
Florida.
Below,
a
transciption
of
a
record
of
Tirzah
Baptist
Church
shows
that
Joe
transfered
his
letter
in
1903.
Many

also
spent
time
working
and
living
there.

Over
the
years,
many
of
the
McLeods,
Ross'
and
Ives
family
members
spent
time
working
at
the
Ives
Dairy,
traveling
from
Sumter
SC,
staying
for
a
time
and
returning
to
Sumter.
Years
later,
Donald
Ross
McLeod
Sr.
and
James
began
a
farming
operation
on
Kramer
Island
in
Palm
Beach
County,
Florida.
The
operation
was
actually
on
an
island
in
Lake
Okeechobee.
James
lived
on
the
Island
for
most
of
the
year
while
his
wife,
Madie,
ran
the
Dairy.
James
evacuated
the
island
for
the
Hurricane
that
devastated
the
area
on
September
16,
1928
with
all
the
workers,
including
Uncle
Mingo,
a
descendant
of
former
slaves
who
had
stayed
with
the
Ives
family
after
emancipation.
Uncle
Mingo
left
the
boat
to
fetch
something
(a
pet,
it
is
believed)
and
James
waited
as
long
as
he
could
for
Uncle
Mingo's
return.
For
the
safety
of
all
the
others
on
the
boat,
James
had
to
leave
Uncle
Mingo
behind.
(I

Cr.
1930,
James
and
his

traveled
back
to

to
arrange
for
the
clearing
of
the
old

on

The

were

Catherine
Ives,
known
to
family
as
Tannie,
was
the
daughter
of
Joseph
Freeman
Ives
and
the
twin
sister
of
my
great-grandmother,
Mary
Rosa
Ives.
Born
in
1870,
they
are
both
shown
as
1/2
or
6
months
in
the
1870
Sumter
Census.
Catherine
lived
most
of
her
life
in
Sumter,
South
Carolina,
marrying
William
H.
Brown
and
helping
to
raise
at
least
10
of
her
grandchildren
and
two
of
her
twin
sister's
grandchildren
for
several
years.
Catherine's
twin,
Mary
Rosa,
married
to
Jesse
Lazrus
McLeod,
had
one
child
whom
she
named
Donald
Ross
after
their
mother's
brother,
a
Confederate
Soldier
who
died
during
the
war.
As
an
adult,
Donald
Ross
lived
and
worked
in
Florida,
living
near
Catherine
and
Mary
Rosa's
older
brother
James
William
Ives,
the
founder
of
Ives
Dairy
in
the
Fort
Lauderdale
and
Miami
area
of
Florida.
Donald
married
and
had
four
children,
three
girls
and
one
son,
who
was
also
named
after
Donald
Ross,
becoming
Donald
Ross
McLeod
Jr..
As
an
infant,
it
appeared
that
Donald
Jr.
would
not
survive
and
he
was
sent
to
live
with
"Aunt
Tannie
and
Pa"
at
approximately
2
months
old.
Donald
Jr.
did
survive
and
lived
for
the
next
6
years
with
his
great
Aunt
and
Uncle,
and
his
great
grandmother,
Rosa
Ives
McLeod.
At
the
age
of
6,
Donald
Sr
and
his
wife,
Alice
Ophelia
Hudson
McLeod,
came
to
visit
Sumter
and
decided
it
was
time
for
Donald
Jr.
to
return
to
Florida
with
them.
Aunt
Tannie
traveled
with
them
to
help
with
the
child's
adjustment,
leaving
her
own
family
for
one
year.

Story
from
the
notes
of
Donald
Ross
McLeod
Jr.
"One
night,
Pa
heard
a
commotion
out
in
the
chicken
coup.
He
went
out
in
his
night
shirt
to
investigate
(as
I
recall
it
was
about
3
a.m).
As
he
opened
the
gate
and
stepped
into
the
chicken
yard,
he
immediately
knew
what
the
problem
was.
A
fox
rushed
at
him
and
took
Pa's
right
hand
in
its
mouth.
Pa
tried
to
shake
the
fox
loose
but
the
fox
held
on.
Everyone
else
in
the
house
had
slept
thru
the
earlier
commotion
in
the
chicken
coup,
but
we
were
all
awakened
by
Pa
calling
for
help.
Aunt
Tanny,
Aunt
Sally,
J.H.,
Charles
and
I
all
rushed
out
to
see
what
was
the
matter.
Pa
called
out
"get
the
axe"
and
Tanny
brought
it
to
him.
He
took
the
axe
in
his
left
hand
and
finally
after
a
few
blows,
the
fox
let
go.
Pa
then
proceeded
to
finish
him
off.
The
Sumter
Daily
Item
(our
local
newspaper)
picked
up
the
story
and
interviewed
Pa.
They
asked
him
how
long
he
waited
until
Tanny
came
to
his
aid.
His
answer
was
"an
eternity".
When
asked
why
it
seemed
so
long,
he
replied,
"there
wasn't
a
single
mosquito
out
that
night,
they
were
all
married
and
had
10,000
kids
and
they
were
all
eating
on
me
while
the
fox
held
my
hand".
Due
to
the
prevelance
of
rabies
in
the
area
at
that
time,
Pa
cut
off
the
foxes
head
and
it
was
sent
to
Columbia
for
testing.
Meanwhile,
J.H.,
Charles
and
I
decided
we
wanted
a
fox
skin.
We
skinned
the
fox.
Then
the
report
came
back.
The
fox
was
rabid.
Being
country
boys,
the
three
of
us
had
several
briar
scratches
on
our
hands
and
arms
and
had
thus
been
exposed
to
the
rabid
fox
while
removing
the
skin.
Pa,
J.H.,
Charles
and
I
had
to
be
treated
for
our
exposure
to
the
fox.
This
treatment
meant
going
to
Sumter
every
day
for
21
days
where
we
were
given
shots
in
our
stomachs,
one
side
of
the
belly
button
on
one
day,
the
other
side
the
next
day."
