  HIST	of Pinewood, South Carolina I hope that Hudson was Joyce’s last name. If Robert had a second wife then Joyce’s last name may not be Hudson. jkh THE REV. SIM SMITH Posted: Tuesday, November 18, 2014 6:00 am The Rev. Sim Smith, 78, passed away on Saturday, Nov. 15, 2014, at the home of his son. Born in Kershaw County, he was a son of the late James Clyburn Smith and Colzie Elmore Smith. Sim always said he grew up poor with humble beginnings in Camden. He shined shoes and sold the Columbia Record on the streets of Camden at a very early age. As a teen, he worked at Dub Marshall's Grocery and the Camden Food Shop. Once at Dub's Grocery, Mr. J.C. Lee asked Smitty to cut up a chicken. "Don't know how! I've never done that," said Sim. "Give it a try," said Mr. Lee. The next day Mr. Lee stopped by the store and said, "Smitty, I didn't know what part of the chicken I was eating, I just knew it was chicken, and it was good." Sim attended Camden schools and graduated from Antioch High School. He was ordained at Hermitage Baptist Church in Camden. After preaching for a while, a group of ladies from Hermitage Baptist Church paid Sim's way to Mars Hill Baptist College. In his senior year at Mars Hill, his fellow students and the group's critic chose Sim to bring the yearly senior message at Mars Hill Baptist Church. Sim was introduced as the young man with a winsome smile. That smile stayed with him. He later attended the University of South Carolina and Coker College. Rev. Smith preached and pastored for more than 63 years. He preached in nearly 150 revivals across Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina. He went on a preaching tour of the West Indies and preached in the Holy Land. He served as pastor of Pinewood Baptist Church for 18 years. While pastoring, he worked part-time for the S.C. Department of Agriculture as a surveyor for 25 years and was a part-time fishing guide for Pack's Landing. Sim loved people and it showed. Sim gave, gave, gave! Survivors include his wife, Jewel F. Smith; three sons, Robbie Smith (Joyce) of Pinewood, Mark Smith (Karen) of Sumter and Paul Smith (Kelly) of Sumter; five grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; six step-grandchildren; eight step-great-grandchildren; a stepson, John Joyner (Jen) of Camden; a stepdaughter, Beverly Johnson of Camden; a brother, Jesse Smith (Betty) of Camden; and a sister, Nancy Stokes (Jim) of Greer. He was preceded in death by his wife of nearly 45 years, Carolyn Branham Smith; two brothers; and two sisters. Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. on Wednesday at Pinewood Baptist Church with the Revs. Homer Hinson, Frank Davis, Bennie Barwick and Kirk Carlisle officiating.
