Abstract:

On October 28, 1901, Mr. and Mrs. R.W. King of Greenville celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary by hosting a large party in their home on Dickinson Avenue. The party was a great success with many attendees including Senator F.G. James and Dr. J.L. Wooten.\r\nIn 1898, a ladies' group by the name of \"Sub Rosa\" was formed in Greenville. Some of the first members were Bettie Tyson, Rosalind Rountree, Annie Perkins and Rosa Hooker. In February of the next year, the group put on a fabulous masquerade ball at Germania Hall.\r\nThe \"Twenty - Five Club\" was formed in Greenville in 1945 at the Olde Towne Inn by businessmen Dick Stokes, Jack Nobles and Royce Jones in order to promote an annual dance.\r\n
