Congratulations to Judge Briana Eargle, who was officially sworn in as a Newberry County magistrate on Thursday, June 25, by Clerk of Court Beth Folk!
One of the most touching moments of the ceremony came as Theresa Halfacre, Judge Halfacre's widow, stood beside Judge Eargle while holding her late husband's Bible.
During the American Revolution, over 25,000 men of African descent served in the military, with skill and extraordinary bravery -- on both sides of the conflict.

Newberry County would like to sincerely thank WoodmenLife Chapter 1054 for generously providing not only American flags, but also a special Commemorative 250th Flag.
