Price Creek

 On a hill beside the Price Creek

The pioneers sleep

Some since eighteen thirty two

Before Columbia was a County

Fought in most all the wars

From Indian uprisings

To the far foreign shores

Settled the land made a stand

And the dogwood blossoms drop

Quietly so not to disturb 

The pioneer sleeping. A very beautiful and timely post, John Clare Stokes. Buried in Price Creek Cemetery, along with his wife and a number of their family members and descendants, is Private Theophilus Weeks, who served in the Continental Line, North Carolina troops, during the Revolutionary War, the only documented Revolutionary War Patriot buried in Columbia county and one of our earliest pioneer settlers, with many descendants in this area. On Saturday, April 20th at 11:00 AM, the Edward Rutledge Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, and a number of descendants of Private Weeks, will dedicate a DAR Patriot marker, present an historical program and lay a wreath at the gravesite of Theophilus Weeks. The Sons of the American Revolution are also participating in this event. The public is invited.
