Born and bred in Marlboro County SC, Carl Manning Parrish was the fourth son born of Luther Ottis Parrish and Sarah Ellen "Sallie" Spears. Carl, as well as his siblings, grew up working alongside his father raising crops to support the family on the homestead in the Clio section of Marlboro. His middle name--Manning--was in honor of his grandmother, Mary Magnolia Manning, who is buried in Stanton Cemetery in Marlboro.
He left home when he became of age and moved to North Carolina to make his mark in life. No census records after 1940 have been released yet to show exactly what he was doing between that time and his death. And the only official document which next bears his name is his death certificate, along with a short newspaper article from a county newspaper in NC. But they do tell us much about his life. He had married sometime after leaving home, but his wife's name is not known at this time since it was not listed on his death certification. Nor is it known at the moment as to whether or not he sired any offspring. He'd become a deputy sheriff of Scotland County NC--quite a feat at such a young age. The brief newspaper article from The Robesonian newspaper in Laurinburg NC, dated May 10 1954, the day after he died, indicated that his death was from a car accident. His car had crashed into a parked truck in the John's section of Stewartsville. No further details as to why or how this happened or who was at fault were mentioned. He died at the young age of 28, which must have been quite a blow to his family back in SC.
He was brought home to Marlboro County to be buried amongst his kin, and rests peacefully nearby his father, mother, and brothers in the quiet, well-kept family-run Spears Cemetery. A cemetery proudly founded by his parents' families, which was carved out of their adjoining lands for their descendants to rest in. It was with great planning and foresight that the elders of both families lovingly and generously set aside part of their land for this cemetery. Land which generations of them were born on, worked on, lived and died on so their descendants would always have a familiar place to come back to and rest among their kin for eternity.
