Hi Renee,
I am Lottie Lee Caddell Altman and my grandmother was Lottie Lee Causey Caddell. I am the
daughter of her son, Alonzo Lanneau Caddell and I was named for my grandmother. My father,
grandmother and grandfather are buried at Providence Baptist Church in Macedonia South
Carolina.
The area of our family in Berkeley County is known as Hellhole Swamp which covered many
small communities. My grandfather was from an area known as Hood Town but is now known as
Macedonia. I believe my grandmother was from Cordsville but I cannot verify that
information at this time.
My Grandmother Lottie Lee died before my birth so I never had the opportunity to meet her.
However, I can remember her picture hanging on the wall in my grandfather's home and
how highly everyone spoke of her. I believe this picture is now in my Aunt Mary
Magadeline's family which was the youngest of her children.
My father,Alonzo died when I was four years old and my mother Leila Grace Cox Caddell left
us when I was six weeks old. Therefore, my Grandfather Andrew raised me until his death.
I have been searching for my birth mother and my friend, Suzanne has been helping me. She
found your posting and excitingly provided me the information. I have a picture of my
father, Alonzo and will post next to his information.
It is so good to find someone researching the family history. I have always lived in South
Carolina. I will keep in touch.
Lottie
