  George Washington Hughes

  In one of Greer's great scandals, Greer businessman George Washington Hughes was murdered by his young and beautiful wife, Mattie. George was a successful and well-liked jeweler and merchant in Greer. He was shot in the chest by his wife, Mattie, during an argument in their home, and died 24 hours later. He is buried in the Edgewood Cemetery in Greer. The full story is quite remarkable; read it in the biography of Martha "Mattie" Ann Waldrop Hughes, linked below.
