Grace Perry, 1950s
Edna Grace Perry (1872-1971) was a daughter of Llewellyn Francisco "Zeke" Perry (1868–1957) and Elizabeth Hortensia Baxley (1870-1942). She was a well-known school teacher. Her obituary from 1971 speaks of her life and career:
FLORENCE MORNING NEWS, MAY 22, 1971
Miss Grace Perry, 78, retired school teacher, landowner, farmer, and church benefactor died Friday after a long illness. She had taught school for 38 years prior to her retirement and actively managed more than 1000 acres of farmlands...
Miss Perry was born near Hemingway, a daughter of the late Llewellyn Francisco and Elizabeth Hortensia Baxley Perry. She was a graduate of Winthrop College and begun her teaching career in Ft. Myers, FL, where she taught elementary school for a year prior to returning to South Carolina.
Her teaching career in South Carolina spanned 37 years, in schools from the Piedmont to the Pee Dee, but most of her teaching was in Florence County. She had taught in the Johnsonville school system for a number of years prior to her retirement in the late 1950s.
Miss Perry was a member of the Old Johnsonville United Methodist Church and has been memorialized by the church as its benefactor. During the past several years, she personally contributed funds to the church which were used to renovate and refurbish the old, wood-frame structure into a modern brick church, replete with central heating and air conditioning, wall-to-wall carpeting, a Colonial-style frontage and edifice.
She also contributed funds for the construction of an education building for the church and subsequently presented the church with an especially manufactured electrical pipe organ. A plaque memorializes her contributions as "gifts of love for her God, Christ, and fellow man."
She is survived by a sister, Mrs. Philip R. Helbig of Johnsonville, and a few nieces and nephews.

Bartell's Crossroads
Bartell's Crossroads is located between Johnsonville and Indiantown. The two-story structure at the crossroads was built circa 1935. It was a country store operated by Vasker Calvineau Bartell and Elnora Cox Bartell. Elnora also worked at Wellman in the 1960s. Calvineau's father started operating a store at the crossroads around 1902 and a store operated there continuously through the 1970s. The original Bartell Brothers store at the crossroads burned in 1921 and was replaced by the 2-story building afterward. By the 1970s the second story porch had collapsed and the building was leaning about 10 degrees. Calvineau added a few telephone polls to brace the side of the building. "When the wind starts blowing, everybody starts leaving." one customer told the Florence Morning News in 1973.
One patron remembers that there was a small electric fence around the bread. Calvineau and Elnora's granddaughter Cindy Allen Joye has memories of the store: "I have memories of going there with granddad he would always lift me up so I could get a coke and then he would cut me a huge chunk of cheese and bologna. I loved him dearly."
The store closed after Calvineau passed away in 1976. -
