Two members of the Feese family are asking for donations to help create a marker for the family graves in the Columbia City Cemetery. Samuel N Feese (1814-1887) married Malinda Hardin Feese (1818-1897) on October 11, 1838 and they had thirteen children: Ella, W Lloyd, Frances Ermine, Sarah J, Aylett Robert, John W, Ann Elizabeth, Samuel N, Jr, Henry Clay, James Conover, George Richard, Alexander Hardin, and Jacob Franklin. Sam built Feese's Mill, a grist mill on Russell Creek around the time of the Civil War. The mill was an impressive multi-storied structure that was later used to generate hydroelectric power; and was the first to provide electricity to the city of Columbia. He was also the building contractor for the original Columbia Christian Church and provided many of the building supplies. Comments | Permalink
