Six Mile remembers an ambassador
Bill and Ruby Holder will be honored at a tribute event in Six Mile on Sept. 27. Bill passed away June 6, two days after his 98th birthday.
Family plans drop-in
event to honor Holders
SIX MILE — According to family members and friends, Bill Holder was a Six Mile ambassador.
On display at the event will be a pair of World War II practice bombs Bill found near his home, which have been made into a sculpture that will be donated to the Patriots’ Hall Oconee Veterans’ Museum.
Wherever he traveled, he proudly spoke of living in Six Mile and always held the town and its residents in the highest of regards, his granddaughter, Rigel LeNart, said in a recent letter to Six Mile Town Council.
To Holder, Six Mile was “the Big Apple,” LeNart wrote.
“Six Mile events were his ‘jet-set,’ and therefore, Six Mile and its residents were his people — his family,” she wrote. “Bill Holder WAS Six Mile and everything that encompassed Six Mile.”
With that in mind, family members have planned a memorial event to celebrate Holder — who died on June 6, just two days after his 98th birthday — and honor his surviving wife, Ruby.
All friends and family members are encouraged to attend the drop-in event, scheduled for 11 a.m.-3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 27, at the Roper Building across from Six Mile Baptist Church on Main Street. Guest speakers, including Six Mile
Deputies: Man fired gun at car
LIBERTY — A Central man was arrested last week after police said he drove up to another man’s home and shot at his vehicle.
Nathan Bryan Church
According to a release from Pickens County Sheriff’s Office chief deputy Creed Hashe, police received a call about shots fired on Railroad Street in Liberty at around 4:45 p.m. on Sept. 2.
Upon arrival, deputies found six recently fired shell casings in the road and a damaged vehicle belonging to a man who lives at 160 Railroad St.
Deputies interviewed several witnesses, including the 52-year-old resident of the home, who told officers a Ford F-150 truck had stopped in front of the home and the driver had fired several rounds from a rifle into the tires of the man’s vehicle.
The man told police the incident stemmed from an ongoing dispute between several people.
The driver of the truck, identified as Nathan Bryan Church, 33, was found a short time later and was arrested for malicious injury to personal property and pointing and presenting a firearm.
Police seized a .22-caliber rifle as evidence.
Church was released Thursday on a combined $6,000 surety bond.
