What battalion was he a member of? You will use this number twice for the letter A.

E. The Abbeville Opera House is a popular stop for locals and visitors alike. This building has been here since 1908 and hosted a variety of famous names, shows, and styles of entertainment. In what year did "moving picture" start playing at the Opera House alongside stage shows. Only use the last two numbers.
F: John C. Calhoun was a national politician from Abbeville county. He started as a member of Congress in 1811 and held various political positions until 1850. One year, he did not hold an office. When you have discovered the year, add the digits together and use the last digit for F. An example, if he did not hold an office in 1992 the digits added together would be 21 so you would only use the number one.
G: Abbeville's most visited church in Trinity Episcopal Church. It's Gothic construction began in 1859 making it the oldest church in Abbeville. They still offer services and the gate stays open and unlocked so people can walk around the grounds. In order to answer G, find the height of the steeple, add the digits together and use half of that amount. An example, if the steeple is 33 feet tall, I would add and come up with six and half of that would be three.
