Maria Louisa Georgiana "Lula" Feaster (right; 1847-1931) with a beau, Virgil Clayton, in the early 1870's. She married a different beau, John George Wolling, on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 27, 1872. They celebrated their 58th and last wedding anniversary together on Thanksgiving, 1930. Lula Feaster is the teenage girl famed for the "burned spot" in Clanmore house, Fairfield County, South Carolina.* During the War between the States, northern soldiers overran the property and one started a fire on the starway, then left to search for food. Lula extinguished the fire with water. When the soldier returned, he started a second fire, which Lula also extinguished. The house survived. Our family elders have seen the "burned spot". * See p. 291 of "A Fairfield Sketchbook" by Julian Stevenson Bolick, 1963 (reprinted by Fairfield County Historical Society, Winnsboro, South Carolina, USA in 2000) for a drawing of Clanmore.
