Autumned-browned weeds almost obscure this old house on Kirby Road in rural Florence County, S.C., writes photographer Linda W. Brown of nearby Kingstree.

Florence County had 137,948 people, according to a 2012 Census estimate.  Its poverty rate — higher in the rural areas than the county seat of Florence, averaged 19.4 percent in 2010.
