"Family Victory: Settlement Reached in Hilton Head Land Dispute"

The family of Josephine Wright, who passed away at 94, has settled a legal dispute with a developer over their ancestral land in Hilton Head, South Carolina. The settlement recognizes the family's ownership of the land, which had been in their possession since the Civil War. The developer, Bailey Point Investments, had sued Wright for encroachment, but the terms of the settlement require the company to cease contacting the family about acquiring the land, fix a roof on the property, put up a privacy fence, and provide landscaping. The property, a gathering spot for generations of Wright's family, holds significant sentimental value beyond its monetary worth.
