Randell Croft was horn in Charles on ; his father. E l ward Croft, E*q , a retired lawyer, and wealthy low country planter, moved to (Ireenville. where lie made a permanent settlement, his son, Kandell, lieing then a small hoy. Greenville at that period, and duting the boyhood of Dr. Croft* was singularly fortunate in hav. itig a succession of learned, and apt instructor*. at the head of the male Academy ; and Randell being a bright l>oy, a.id fully availing himself of the advantages offered him, obtained a floe academical education, and being thus prepared, he entered the junior claa* in the South Carolina Coll- gc, where he graduated with eredlt for scholar shin. On his graduation* he r*ad medicine under the inetruetion of Dr. (Iarriaon, and subsequently obtained his diploma as Doctor of Medicine, in the Medical Coll-ge ol Philadelphia. Dr. Croft married Mis* Char lotte M. Jenkins, of St. Helena, South Cam litis, lie oever practiced medicine; having inherited a fortune, lie had no pecuniary inducements to do so. Owning a fine planting interest on St. fi> Una Island, a plantation in Newberry, and an amateur farm at his residence in Greenville, he found full employment for his active life; and his leisure hours were given to elegant hospitality and hia books, to both of which lie was ardent'v attach, d. Although well qualified by his education and fit.* intellect to fill public appointments he never sought them. He was, however, elected to the Legislature of the State, by his frieuds in Greenville, aud served them with fidelity and ability. Dr. Croft, although keenly alive to the many iniqn toua violations of the rights, and interests of the South, by Northern aggrsssion, was. nevertheless, always, in the best sense of that much abused let m, a Union man, and so continued up to the commencement of the late war. But when our enemies, in addition to the shameless violation of our political righto, determined also to enslave our people, to uproot their hearth stones, and to take away their lives, then he was a Union man no longer; but, like every true man of the South, h-* wns ready to peril hia all in defence of tils na live land. Then, notwithstanding his age mi'l infirm health, he raided a volunteer Company, of which lie was el?rted Captain, and promptly took llie field of active seivaeo against the horde of onr N'-rtln rn invaders, and he continued in the servic', until it was evident that his nge, and increasing bodily infiiinilies, rendered him whol y unstlde to discharge the duties of his office. Then, to the d- ep regret of himself and company, lie resigned, and was succeeded in his office by hwigalfant ?oa, Theodore (1, Croft, Jr., who, though a mere hoy, beim; only seventeen ^ears old, conducted hie company through the war. with no leas bravery than any son of South Carolina.? Such is a brief, and imperfect sketch of some of the leading evruta In the life of Dr. Croft. Of hta mural worth, his social amenity. Ills good heart. wIki that knew him need to be reminded. He was emphatically a good ntm.*, not only a good man, but by tint ore and high breeding, a gmllematt?a Christian gentleman, and being such. it. is nscill'H lossy, that lie no bly fulfilled at) the* kigk dut ics of life?as eon, brother, hueluind, father, neiglilsor, citiien. The writer lias known the deceased from early boyhood, in all the relations of life, and lie can testify with truth, unbiased by the love wliirh lie bore him, that none could truthfully say that Dr. Croft ever did him an set of injustice. The law of probity and kindness?thoughtful and habitual kindness, governed ail hi* actions with his fellow men. I nev. r knew one wttli more henevole nee of diameter, or one who had more power in hi* sphere of aeqiiHinlance, to affectionately attach lit* friends. Having hut or * brother, |)r. Tlia adore Q. Croft, he end that brother were bound to each oilier by the strongest ti?? of effertion, ao much ao, as to make their fraiernal love, a marked, and noticeable feature in their daily walk. I may not withhold in this connection, from the friends of tha deceased, the fdlawing touching words of the surviving brollter, in announcing to me, by letter, tlie and intelligence of bis death: '* While you are to mourn the loaa of a true friend, to me, it U on# of tha saddest blows of my ilia ; and his death will leave nw in sorrow the remainder of nay days lie shared every good and ill of iny li'e; and waa tha dearest companion from my childhood, lie always loved you,"*?e.
