Mary "Mollie, Molly" Cynthia Bain Prince
Her granddaughter, Peggy, remembers how Molly Bain Prince made biscuits and cornbread and how kindhearted, jolly and uncomplaining she was. She was never sharp or angry. Everyone at the 2001 Prince Reunion had wonderful things to say about her. "She was always there for us." "She was happy all the time," "it was always like a party" at her house, "there was always food at her house." She made the best soup, made banana pudding, had a roast every Sunday. They said that she fed men (homeless) who rode the trains during The Depression. The railroad tracks are very close to their house. They quoted her as saying, "Don't throw that out, a hobo might stop by." Peggy said she also washed clothes for about 20-25 people. She had big iron pots in her backyard and she would boil the clothes. Peggy remembers stirring the clothes in the pot. Then she rinsed, put them through a wringer and into a blueing pot. She took care of her father, Elisha Bain who lived with her. Someone remembered her telling the children not to go down to the Beaumont Mill Pond. She would warn them, "That's where they put the dead babies." The hospital was just above the creek that fed the pond. Peggy said that she was adamant about not divorcing. She did not believe there was any reason for divorce.
Molly Bain Prince died 10/31/1974 in Spartanburg, SC. She is buried beside her husband at Oak Grove Baptist Church, Spartanburg, SC.
