Mood silversmiths topic at historical society FROM STAFF REPORTS The Sumter County Historical Society will close out its year of monthly meetings with a program on the Mood family silversmiths and their Sumter and Clarendon county connections. The 7 p.m. Thursday, April 26 presenter will be Summerton native Frank Mood. Mood's talk will include ancestors with whom many Sumterites are familiar, among them the Rev. William Mood, who arrived in Sumter in 1852, and will include information on Dr. Julius Mood, a well-respected Sumter doctor for whom a wing at the original Tuomey Hospital was named; Julia Mood Peterkin, Julius' daughter, who won the 1929 Pulitzer Prize for book, "Scarlet Sister Mary." Frank Mood's program will extend back to his earlier family, including the second Peter Mood, who, according to the late local historian Cassie Nicholes, "came to Charleston about 1785 and, following the longstanding tradition of the family, began a silversmithing business." In addition to discussing the history of the early Mood family, the presenter will talk about their craftsmanship and show some examples of their work in silver from the collection he has been assembling through the years. Peter Mood Sr., who lived from 1766-1821, and his son John Mood, 1792-1864, are linear ancestor of the speaker. Frank Mood's grandfather was a Summerton doctor and a first cousin of Julius Mood, which means he has a connection with the Sumter Moods as well as one with the Sumter Harvins through his mother. Frank Mood graduated from The Citadel in 1960 and received his L.L.B. (law) degree from the University of Virginia in 1963. He practiced law for 38 years at Haynsworth Sinkler Boyd and its predecessors, where he served as managing director for eight years. After serving as senior vice president and general counsel at SCANA Corporation, he rejoined Haynsworth Sinkler Boyd's Columbia office as special counsel. From 2003-04, Mood was interim dean of the University of South Carolina School of Law. He was awarded Honorary Doctor of Laws degrees by both USC and The Citadel. He is also a past chairman of The Citadel's governing board, past president of The Citadel Foundation and past chairman of the S.C. Board of Bar Examiners. Mood and his wife, the former Jane Hammond McLaurin, have three sons, one daughter and six grandchildren. The Sumter County Historical Society will meet at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 26, at the Heritage Education Center of the Sumter County Museum, 122 N. Washington St. Frank Mood will speak on "The Mood Family Silversmiths." The public is invited to attend, and refreshments will be served.
