Luincuetvr mourns to -dav the
death of her oldest native citiZw.. j
Cupt. B J Witherspoon pussod
quietly to rest at the family res i
ideuco on Main Street at 'J:l 0 i
m., yesterday. He suffered a
stroke of paralysis a few years
ago and has been confined to his
houie most of the time since. On
Wednesday last ho suffered anothor
stroke and it beeifnio apparent
at once that the end was near
Dr. B J Witherspoon of Charlotte
and Mrs. ,)os. K. Hall of McConnellsville,
were telegraphed for
and reached his tiedsulo the following
day.
Barilett .I onus Witherspoon
was born in Lancaster S. C. Docomber
11th 1832. (lo was th*
eldest child of Jumes 11 and Mary
I'i W ' hei'Spi 'Otl, P-.'o Jones. 11c
received the riMiuie.i ? ?>t his education
in Lancaster, but af an early
age was sent to Davidson College
whore ho retnninded only *
short time. Ho was then sent to
Shirley Institute three miles from
Winusboro under John 11 Shirley
to complete his preparations f r
college. Ho matriculated at the
S C College in 1853, while there
ho was in command of the company
during that famous riot which
was so marvellously quelled by Dr
Thornwoll. lie graduated in D< I
comber 1856; returning homo wi 1
fond hopes and bright a .licipt.
natural to his position to in "
tint grout sorrow?the i? ?I.
hts mother. After a short i
of one week she died D. oe:o'
2Sth 18gti. In compliance
the wishes of hts father "arth tt
I
Witherspoon commenced the s'
of law under Mr Win A M >or
1S56 and was admitted to tin bar
Decern bo r 1869. Hie state secod ai j
in Decomhor of that year ar. l he
immediately tendered his services
to tho Governor as a soldier to
tight the battles of his country .
He was nppointod Lieutenant in a
regular squadron of cuvulry and
was immediately ordered into service
January 1861,1.ho and Lieut.
Billings being among the tir?t men
from Lancaster County to enter
tlicilate Confederate service. lie
was sent out recruiting and soon
after was transfored to the 1st S
C Regular Infantry. In 1863 he
was promoted Captain of Cmopany
C. The regiment acted as ho: vy
artillery and mannod the forts
Moutrie, Sumter, and the batteries
around Charleston and was in all
the engagements in and around
that city and remained thero with
the regiment until tho evacuation
of the city, February 1865, when
they joined Johnson's army in N
C.,with which army the regiment
surrendered at Grornshoto N (\;
he having bwen within the hearing
of the first and las' gun of tlu> great
war of Secession.
After the war he renewed the
practice of law for a short time
whon he gave it up to onter the |
insurance business which he has
carried on successfully ever sinco.
Shunning political preferment, ho
refused at all limes to permit his
name to bo used for public office
though often elected and serving
as mayor of tho Town. Perhups
no ono person in the town over
served as often in that capacity
from which fact may he infored
tho satisfaction with which l ?'
tilled tho office. He was appointed
Magistrate just after tho win
cloned by Gov Pojry again by
Gov. Orr, and during a portion < f
Gov. Scott's term until tho lcpnb*
, Means wore folly established when
the appointment wan withdrawn;
then in 1876 when Hampton re
, deemed the state he was again* no
cessively appointed up to 1 n,
was U S commissioner at the time
of his death and had bovn for
many years.
