Georgetown, SC
Lucius Clifton (L. C.) Sloan, Sr., 92, died Tuesday, September 27, 2016, at Tidelands Community Hospice House.
Mr. Sloan was born September 29, 1924 in Hall County Georgia, (near Gainesville) the seventh child of Jorney Cooper (J. C.) Sloan and Mary Adaline (Addie) Williams Sloan.
The family lived in an area called Poplar Springs, just south of Gainesville, but moved into the City of Gainesville when L. C. was about 4 or 5. He attended Main Street Elementary School, and in June 1941 graduated from Gainesville High. He worked for a while with Western Union in Gainesville, transferring in January 1942, to Western Union's office in Charleston, S. C. Later, he left Western Union and went to work as a teletype operator in the Communications Office of the Charleston Navy Yard. While in Charleston he met and fell in love with his future wife, Mildred Moskow, of Andrews, S. C., who was a teletype operator in the 6th Naval District Headquarters, which had taken over the Fort Sumter Hotel.
In April, 1943, L. C. was drafted into the Army, being assigned to the 566th Signal Company of the 66th Infantry (Panther) Division, in Camp Blanding, Florida. The division later moved to Camp Robinson, near Little Rock, Ark., then to Camp Rucker, near Dothan, Ala. Along the way L. C. advanced from private to Technician Grade 3, in charge of "Telephone & Telegraph" Sections operations. The 66th Division went overseas and served in operations around Lorient and St. Nazaire. After hostilities ended, he served in occupation forces headquartered in Salzburg, Austria. He was discharged in April, 1946.
L. C. and Mildred were married on July 31, 1946; and he went to work for International Paper Company (Georgetown Paper Mill) on August 12, 1946, as a payroll Clerk. He stayed with International Paper Company for 39 years, retiring, as an Accounting Supervisor, Woodlands Division, in October 1985.
He is a life member of the Lemuel Benton Chapter, Sons of The American Revolution, qualifying under service of three separate ancestors. Member of South Carolina Historical Society, Georgetown Historical Society (where he served a term as President); Georgetown County Museum (where he was member of the original Board of Directors and co-authored "A walk down Front Street" and "A view of the past"); Friends of Georgetown Library; Friends of Kaminski House Museum; The Rice Museum (served several terms as board member and Treasurer); Charter member of The Civitan Club (served in number of offices, including President). Unfortunately the Civitan Club is no longer active in Georgetown. He was a member of E. T. V. Endowment, and was a charter member of Associated Sound Recordings. He was an avid collector of phonograph records; and in 2003 and 2004 donated over 5, 000 78 rpm records (dating from 1904 through 1948) to the Music Library, University of South Carolina, in honor of his two grandchildren, Luke and Jill Johnson, both having graduated from that University.
He and Mildred joined the Georgetown Presbyterian Church in March 1953, and were always active members. He served as a Deacon, an Elder and Sunday School Teacher. He and Mildred sang in the choir for 45 years. After retirement from International Paper, L. C. served as the church's Financial Director for sixteen years.
L. C. served 20 years as a member of the City of Georgetown Planning and Zoning Commission, and one term as its Chairman. He was also a volunteer and auxiliary member of Georgetown Memorial Hospital for many years.
In addition to his parents and wife of 66 years, he was pre-deceased by four brothers, William Jackson (Jack) Sloan of Atlanta, Ga., Arthur Curtis (Curt) Sloan, Jorney Bryson Sloan, and James Horace Sloan, all of Gainesville, Ga., and two sisters, Grace Sloan Reed of Gainesville and Sarah Sloan Hainline and her husband Bill of Flint, Mich.
