By Contributor Syndi Snow : and Shawn Page Larimore :

Mrs. Norman, for many years, ran a boarding house, or hotel, in the town of Conwayboro, S.C. It was located on the east side of Main St., in a grove of trees, midway between Third and Fourth Avenues on a lot which extended back to
Kingston Lake. Kingston St. now crosses the lot.
(Lot #10 of old town plat.)
At this boarding house that Sarah Jane ran, when court was in session she had the lawyers and judges staying there. She became known as "Aunt Jane" or Aunt Norman" by most people.

About 1828 Sarah Jane Norman let a group of women gathered in her home for worship to begin collecting money for a church building. A storm at the turn of the century had destoyed the only church building known to exist in the village before 1800. Although there was a camp meeting ground on the Georgetown road, there was no sanctary set aside for worship in the town until Mrs. Norman and her friends were successful in erecting a Methodist Chursh in 1844. The present day First United Methodist Church treasures the little bowl which she circulated among her friends to collect their offerings. When the Presbyterian formed a congregation in 1855 and in 1858 decided to build a church, Mrs. Morman provided the land for that purpose.

Sarah Jane Beaty Norman died on September 12, 1881, at ninety years of age. the funeral party took her remains to Georgetown, a forty-mile journey, for burial. No one seemes to know why they chose Goergetown, nor why burial was refused when they arrived there but the party had no alternative but to return to Conway for burial.
The heat of September was unbearable, Mrs. Norman had been dead a week, the body unembalmed. Small wonder, then, that the mourners decided to commit it to the earth as soon as they arrived at Kingston churchyard about midnight. They buried her by the light of lanterns and lightwood torches. Her grave was marked by an urn with the one word "Grandma".
the repainted urn no longer bears that title, but a small stone with their names and dates memorializes Jane and Joshua Norman.
