G: No, he wasn't paid by the government.

E: No, I mean by the state of South Carolina.

G: I don't know whether he was or not, but I think he might have been.
 But I couldn't say he was or not. Now some of the rest of [them] might
 know.

E: I think there was a certain amount of money set aside and the Indian
 agent was in charge of distributing that fund. The Indian agent was
 responsible for paying the doctor.

G: I know that they were there. They were still held responsible for all
 debts made by a physician then. If you went to a doctor then well,
 it's not like that anymore.

E: That's right. You're a member of the Mormon church, are you not?

G: I'm a member of the Mormon church down here.

E: What school teachers do you remember on the reservation? You didn't
 go to school here on the reservation, but you sent your children here
 on the reservation.

G: The Morman elders were school teachers and missionaries, folks that got
 sent here on a mission. Elder Hayes, for one. He was a teacher here
 for about three or four years. There was a lady from Columbia. She
 was sent here on a mission, taught school a year, but I can't think
 of her name right now. Then J. C. Davis and his wife was here teaching
 school.

E: Remember the Dunlaps?

G: I don't remember a Dunlap teaching here. Evidently that was done while
 I was away at school.

 E: What do you remember about the oldest building on the reservation?
 Do you remember the old church? It was kind of a combination church
 and schoolhouse, with a bell in the steeple.

 G: There was one over there. The schoolhouse had a bell in the steeple but
 the old church was down at the foot of the hill. As far as I know, I
 mean old frame building down there.

 E: I believe it was later moved across the road and some of the Blue family
 lived in that building. Later, the Mormon church was built.

 G: It was moved over there and I think that Viola Blue and them moved
 in there, and Landrum and his wife after they built a new chapel up here.
