Notes for WILLIAM J. MILLER:
William J. Miller recalls the following:
"When I became 8 years old my father started me to school to Mr. Ezekiel Powell, a large fleshy man, who whipped little and big at school that did not study. The school house was a plain log house, no ceiling and the benches were made of slabs with 4 legs. The school house was located at what we now call the Nichols Field, as we go to the Jim Pierce place. The teacher whipped little and big when they did not obey. I was fearful of the old fellow for I never had a switch applied to me and did not want it. We had a large school, from eight years old to 21 years old, both boys and girls. I remember my father told me to study well and he would take me to Rock Hill to see the first train of cars that came up here towards Columbia.
The train stopped where Black St. crosses the RR. That was 1853. I was so frightened at the engine and the noise it made that I caught hold of mother's dress skirt and suppose if she had not been there I would have run away.
The next school I attended was taught by Miss Isabella Black and Miss Elizabeth McConnell, and the school house was located near where Ben Roach lives. They only taught three months each. The school house was built of logs and had no floor. The next school I attended was at Ebenezer (probably Ebenezer Village) where the present school house now stands. It was a very good frame building, two rooms - one for the larger scholars and the other for the smaller. It was taught by Gen. Alston, assisted by his oldest son. He had a large school with many young men from other counties of the State. Gen.. Alston was an old man from the lower part of the State, highly educated and once was very rich but had lost his property. He was a fine instructor, very dignified and also very strict. That was about 1855.
The next school was at Tirzah Church, taught by J. B. Pankey. He also had a large school, many young men boarding in the community. Mr. Pankey, a native of Virginia, was a splendid school teacher. At the commencement of the (Civil) war I was still going to school at Tirzah, being taught by Col. Bowen, a native of York County. That was 1861. The Civil War was then commenced and every young man was making preparations to go to the front. I was in a class of boys from 18 to 25 years old and they were all gone or going, therefore I must go too. But I was only 15 years old but large for my age.
Up to that time I had a very good chance to go to school. My father made me work one year on the farm, as the old people thought, to make you grow strong. I would have been ready for college if the war had not come on. I think my father intended to give me an education for he was financially able. He owned about 25 Negroes when they were freed.
June 1861 ended my school days as at that time we had left home to prepare for going to the front to meet the enemy. I volunteered when I was 15 years old, June 1861. I suppose the cause of my enlisting so young was that I was in a class of young men from 18 to 25 years old. I entered a company with one school and classmate, named Steven M. Johnson, and two of my neighbors, Randolph Pierce and Wm. Brown; all three good, nice young men. Pierce and Brown both died from disease in the army and Johnson was killed in the battle of Gettysburg. John L. Miller was Captain of the company; William Dunlap, 1st Lieutenant."
William J. Miller further describes his military experiences in some detail.
