"Cleveland School Fire"
The School was to close after that night but it ended in another way!
On a certain date in Kershaw County, local citizens entered a little schoolhouse outside of Camden SC for a Children's play, but some of them would not return home that dreadful night. A fire that was caused by a ceiling oil lamp that fell to the floor took many lives that terrible night! Their souls now rest in peace, however, the memory of these shocking hours lives on.
One of the persons that did escape the flames was my Great Aunt
"Lois D. Rush". My Grandfather "David C. Dixon Sr" I heard came onto the scene after the fire erupted to help victims.(Other of their family members also departed that fateful night on)
May 17, 1923.
There were many families in this small but caring neighborhood that experienced what our minds can't fully imagine:
"The Cleveland Schoolhouse Fire!"
This site is here to pay respects to our dear citizens that died that night.
Also, we are reaching out to anyone else that was affected by this indescribable event.
As more information is gathered this Site will remain under construction.
