BACHMAN CHAPEL LETTER.
Death of Mrs. P. L. Wise-An Enjoyable
Dinner at Perry Halfacre's
Communion at Colony.
Slighs, S. C , January 4, 1904.
Christmas passed off very quietly
throughout this section. No acci
dents happened, except that a ne
gro, Jeff Ruff, who lives on Dr.
Hunter's place, got his hand badly
torn up by the explosion of a gun.
Mrs. Nancy C., Wise, wife of Mr.
P. L. Wise. died at her home on
Saturday night, the 26th, aged 34
years, 2 months and 16 days. Her
infant babe had preceded her to the
spirit land just a few weeks previous
to her death. Her remains were
laid to rest in Colony graveyard or.
Monday following her death, her
pastor, the Rev. P. H. E. Derrick,
conducting the funeral services.
. Mrs. Wise was a member of Bach
man Chapel church, and her whole
life was a life of peace and quietude.
She leaves a husband, one sister,
two half brothers, two half sisters
and a step-mother to mourn her de
parture. They have our deepest
-sympathy.
Among my Christmas enjoyments
was to accept an invitation to a
turkey dinner at the home of my
neighbor and friend, Mr. Perry
Halfacre, on Tuesday, the 29th of
December. Just before dinner Mr.
Halfacre showed us a dish which
was bought by his grandfather,
- Henry Halfacre, in the spring of
3o3, when he first went to house
keeping. It was then bought and.
served as a turkey dish by this good
old,father one hundred and one
years ago. It saved the same pur
pose on the day in queslion, which
made the dinner quite memorable.
Mr. Editor, I am sorry your invita
tion did not reach you in time for
you -to be with us on this
occasion, for you certainly missed I
one of the best dinners of your life.
Any one who eats a dinner pre.
fared sby Mrs. Halfacre will not
-wonder why her husband is so large
and fleshy.
But, to go back to the relic, this
old dish, which "is serving its third
generation, notwithstanding it hasI
been in continual use for more than
a hundred years, has not lost its
beauty. The flowers on its face
look'as fresh and natural as if
placed there only a short while ago.
The day was spent very pleasantly
'with this kind family and I trust
that it may be my privilege to meet
-with again in like manner. To
say that Col. D. A. Ruff and Maj.
Ben Halfacre were there is only
saying that it added more to the
fun and pleasure of the day. Perry
Halfacre is one among our best!
neighbors and citizens, and to meet
each one of his children is a plain
-evidence of what I say, for they
show that they have been brought
up under good discipline.
There was communion service
at Colony church last Sunday. The
day was very cold, which made the
congregation comparatively small.
Our new pastor, Rev. R. E. Liv
ingstone, preached a good sermon
from i Corinthians i:9. The sub
ject was a good one, showing the
faithfulness of God. Rev. Living
stone does not come among us as a
stranger; he is one of our own boys.
Raised and educated in our-midst
he needs no words -of commenda
tion at my hands. T. J. W.
