“The collection of buildings known as Ella’s Grove reminds me of the ‘perfect’ little ghost town,” writes Kingstree, S.C., photographer Linda W. Brown.
“Near Centenary in Marion County, Ella’s Grove was the name of the B.F. Davis plantation. One of the stores was moved to property; the brick one, I believe, was built there. The property is still in the Davis family, owned today by his grandson.
Marion County, rural in nature, is home to just over 33,000 people. An estimated 23 percent of residents live at or below the federal poverty level.
