Nothing had been heard from bim until last Wednesday, when he suddenly appeared in Ander son and was recognized by some of bis old comrades and his sou, Mr. Whit aker Bowen, (who was only live years old when his father disappeared), from a photograph lu* had of him. He claims that, he was captured on Morris Island, near Charleston, and carried to New York, where he. was liberated a few days after bis arrival. Since then he says he has been residing on a farm in New Jersey. Mr. William S. Haynie died at tl? home of bis grandfather. Capt. P. K. Norris, in this city, last Monday morn ing about .} o'clock, in the 2?'th year of his age. The announcement of his death was no shock to his friends and loved ones, for it had becu expected nt any time for several months. He had been afflicted nearly all of his life with a complicated disease, which brought on nervous prostration, but he was not confined to his bed until a few weeks ago. Mr. Haynie was the eldest son of Mrs. L. H. Seel by her first marriage to Dr. W. S. Haynie, who died when the son was an infant. Since his mother's marriage to Mr. Seel, Mr. Haynie has resided with his grandparents, who left nothing undone that would tend to his comfort and relief during his long af fliction. In his boyhood he joined the Presbyterian Church, and walked in the paths that lead to eternal happi ness around the blessed Saviour's throne. He realized that his end was near and consoled his loved ones by telling them to meet him on that "bright and happy shore/' Surround ed by his devoted mother and grand mother, just before he breathed his last, he reached, out his hand to each of them as- to bid them good-bye, but his voice was too weak to utter his words. On Tuesday morning the fun eral services were conducted at home by Kev. J. N. H. Summerell, after which the remains were borne to Silver Brook Cemetery and interred.
