PricoCOc PROMINENT AXDRHSONIAN I>RA1> H. F. Muuldln, l'roshlent of Hank of Anderson, Called to His Reward. (Anderson Mall, May 3d.) Benjamin Franklin Mauldia. tor nearly half a century a'leading bank er of Anderson, and well known In banking circles over the entire Stale, died suddenly at his home, 603 N. Main street, at an early hour this morning, lie had served the Bank of Anderson for tlfteen years as Its president. Mr. Ma aldin had not been ill the best of health for tho past year or so, and although he was able occasion ally to go to his ellice at the Hank of Anderson, his general condition kept him from taking an active p rt in the affairs of the bank since tho first of the year. Mr. Muuldln is survived by his widow, who. before her marriage to him in 1872, was Miss Mary Recd, of this city, and three daughters. Mesdames J. M. Padgett, R. C. Mal lison and Prue Clinkscales, all of whom live in Anderson. Hanker from Vouug Manhood. Mr. Muuldln, who was 71 years of age. was a figure in the financial sphere who will long be remembered in Anderson county. Turning to bank ing when a young man, ho gave i li ; ; t [ business 'ong study and practice ?uni made ii success of it, Wiiile actively engaged ?ti tho banking busiiu Anderson, he did not confine his ef forts t<> titi; city alone, but lent his influence lo the organization of sev eral banks in this and nearby cou li tios. Ile organized and was preshh nt of the following banks: The Bank of | Townvillc. the Hank of Trenton, thc Hank of Mount fannel, the Lowndes-] ville Hank. I lu* Hank of Due West., the Bank of McCormick and the Rank Of Hodges. Only a short time ago Mr. Mauldin resigned as president of the Farmers' and Merchants' Rank of Iva because of his ill health. The heart of.Mr Mauldin was in . the banking business. Life offered to him no greater opportunities than opening banking houses in new fields and in communities where banks were unknown, developing them into sound business institutions that en joyed the trust and confidence of the people, and then leave them /in the hands of citizens of these towns and communities as a business asset. Those who came in contact with him in a business way were always impressed with his fairness and with the impartial .vay ni which en! i 5 i in nd rid and poor .ko. tl. was a man big enough lei hare tho joy .<.' ii successful dep'f>:5i'rt?>? ?i* sit uuiHi with jii.d '?. r ?

In part the letter say-: "I have never known a more unselfish suc cessful business man. Some men do not care who may fail. >o they suc ceed, but Mr. Mauldin is deeply in terested In all, and can rejoice with men as well as weep with them." Mr. Mauldin was born in Ander son county Oil March 21, ISM?. His father, whose natue was also Benja min Franklin Mauldin. was a mer chant and a Baptist preacher, and was a member of the Secession Con vention in 1861. A business man, full of public spirit ami ol' the most strict integrity of character, he was well known throughout the county and had a reputation in the State at large. His mother, Mrs. Adaline Tyr rel (Hamilton) Mauldin. had a very marked influence upon the character of her son in early boyhood, and her .nemory has always retained an alto gel her exceptional place in his life. Rho was descended from Archibald Hamilton, who emigrated from Scot land and married Frances Calhoun. His earliest known ancestor in Amer ica, on his father's side, was Jon h Mauldin. who made swords for tho Revolutionary soldiers.
