McLeod Retires As County Register of Deeds

The end of an era occurred on July 3rd when Billie McLeod retired as Register of Deeds. Billie’s first day at Kershaw County was on October 30, 1978 in the Clerk of Court’s Office with Edward Ogburn as Clerk of Court. The SC Legislature created the Register of Deeds in 2001 and Billie became the county’s ROD on July 22, 2002.  That is also when her office and many administration offices moved from the Courthouse to the former Belk Building, site of the current Government Center. Along with Edward Ogburn, Billie has worked with Clerks Barbara Reeves, Tillie Goodson and Joyce McDonald.
