Found in The State 11 August 1916: Miss Kate Hamtpon, 92 years of age, last surviving child of Col. Wade Hampton of the War of 1812 and sister of the late Lieut. Gen. Wade Hampton, Confederate States army, died last night at 11:50 o'clock at "Hawkeswood," the home of her niece, Mrs. John C. Haskell in Edgewold, a suburb of Columbia. He health had very gradually failed under the infirmities of her years, but the end came somewhat unexpectedly. Dispositions for the funeral services had not been made last nigh, but it was said that interment would be in Trinity church yard, Columbia. Miss Hampton's nearest relatives are nieces and nephews, the children of her brothers, Wade Hampton and Frank Hampton. Members of the former group are McDuffie Hampton of Columbia, chairman of the South Carolina railroad commission; Alfred Hampton of Washington and Mrs. Randolph Tucker of Virginia. Children of Frank Hampton are Mrs. W. C. Halstead of Baltimore, Mrs. Lucy Hampton Haskell of Columbia, and Frank Hampton of Richland county. Miss Hampton's sisters, the Misses Ann Hampton and Caroline Hampton, died some years ago. Miss Hampton was in her youth a great beauty, widely famed as a belle of the Old South, and in girlhood as well as in more advanced years she was a tireless, tactful and generous charity worker. Poor folk of Richland county who had not seen her in 50 years retain the grateful recollections of her labors in their behalf. She breathed a fine and delicate courtesy, a cordial kindliness that never failed and the fragrance of her cloistered but not idle life has been for many years a potent influence for good among all those privileged to enjoy her acquaintance. "Millwood," her father's country seat, a few miles east of Columbia, was Miss Hampton's home for many years, and even after the mansion was burned in 1865 by Sherman's men, she continued to reside nearby, occupying a small dwelling which replaced the stately home whereof nothing remained but the fire blackened columns. During the last 18 years she had lived in or near Columbia. Miss Hampton was junior by six years to her brother, Wade, the great cavalry leader of the Confederacy, redemptor of his State from Reconstruction evils, United States senator thereafter for many years and successor to Joseph E. Johnson as commissioner of the transcontinental railroads in behalf of the federal government. Their father, Col. Wade Hampton, a great planter, won distinction in the War of 1812, and their grandfather, Gen. Wade Hampton, achieved fame as a leader of the American patriots in the War of the Revolution. Miss Hampton's mother was Ann FitzSimons Hampton.
