SUMMARY:Horry County Museum Lecture Series: The Bigham Family Murders: Three Trials and a Family History
DESCRIPTION:Join us on June 10th at 1 pm at the Horry County Museum to learn about South Carolina’s sensational murder trial of the 20th century and the family behind it. The Bigham Family was a prominent family in Marion and Florence Counties often whispered about and feared by their neighbors. Throughout 6 generations of the family living in SC\, a number of the members were accused of circumventing the law\, murdering family members and workers\, and general unpleasantness\, culminating in the events of January 15\, 1921 where 5 members of the family were killed. The surviving member of the family\, Edmund Bigham\, was put on trial for the murders and was tried three separate times\, once in Florence County and twice in Conway\, SC\, all while maintaining that it was his brother\, Smiley\, who had killed his family then taken his own life. This talk will detail the family history of the Bighams and the trials of Edmund Bigham. \nAbigail Geedy was born and raised in south-central Pennsylvania and moved to South Carolina for college in 2012. She has both an Anthropology Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree and a Graduate Certificate of Museum Management from the University of South Carolina. She began volunteering in museums in 2011 and had worked in curation at the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology. In 2020\, she joined the Horry County Museum as a Technical Assistant and moved into the Curator position in 2022. \nThe program will be held in the McCown Auditorium located at 805 Main Street\, Conway SC.

SUMMARY:G-Man: The Rise & Fall of Melvin Purvis
DESCRIPTION:The 2023 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with G-Man: The Rise & Fall of Melvin Purvis\, part of the Carolina Stories Series by SCETV. The name\, Melvin Horace Purvis\, to many people today\, means nothing. But it was not so long ago that Purvis was a household name\, and over 260\,000 boys and girls were digging through boxes of Post Toasties breakfast cereal to get their very own decoder rings and Junior G-Man badges. Purvis\, the Timmonsville native with the unassuming name\, skyrocketed to such fame in the 1930s as leader of the FBI team that took down some of the biggest gangsters of his day\, including John Dillinger\, Baby Face Nelson and Pretty Boy Floyd. His death in 1960 is still shrouded in mystery. Was it a suicide\, as first reported? Was it an accidental shooting? Or was there something more sinister behind it? \nThe film is free to the public and will be shown at 1:00 PM\, Wednesday\, June 14th\, at the Horry County Museum\, located at 805 Main Street in Conway. \nThe Horry County Museum Documentary Film Matinees will continue throughout 2023.
