Remarkable Companionship of Four War Braved Friends
In 1858 four South Carolina clergyman families sent sons to Cokesbury boarding school. The youths remained roommates at Wofford College and studied law together before enlisting. All four served in the Civil War from South Carolina, fought in the Second Battle of Manassas, and perished on the same frontier. They were Ospers, McSwain, Smith, and Duncan, sons of bishops and reverends, buried together with a granite markers and iron railing.
