Plexico Walter Lee, 1872-1897.

Composer and professional musician active in the western part of York County, S.C., until his untimely death at the age of 25. A gifted man and perhaps even a child prodigy, he organized a sixteen-piece brass band when he was only twelve years old and was able to play and teach every instrument. He conducted singing schools in and around Hoodtown and Blairsville and was extremely popular in the area. He gave lessons on the organ, violin, and guitar. When he died, he left behind a varied collection of musical compositions and arrangements.
