He was a native of North Carolina, but moved to this State when quite a young man. lie has been in the lum ber business all of his life and had built up at Alcolu a splendid town, also createdI by him. In addition to his lumber interests Mr. Alderman was engaged in railroading, banking rind merchandising. Ile was interest ed in many enterprises in Clarendon and Sumter counties. Funera l services over the body of David W. Alderman, Sr., who died suddenly at his home at Alcolu last F'rday afternoon, were held Saturtday at the Cla rendon 10 l1t ist Church in A l colu in tI. sen.-;Vc!'e of a great ini ber of people. The body was carried to Well's Chapel Church, near liarrell's store in Duplin county, North Carolina, for the interment. This was the native home of Mr. Alderman from which he moved to South Carolina iorty years ago and where rest the remains of his late wife and three small children. Mr. Alderman oc-upied a prominen; place in the busint.- life of this state nf t only, but his business connections extended throughout the country. With all of his vast interests to coni nand his attention, however, he found time to devote his great talents to the upbuilding of the commI:aity in which he lived from a civic a.; well as I ligious st:andpoint. Mr. Alderman began life in llodest circL.. itances, but by business acumen, industry and strength of character, accumulated a large for tulle. Ile was the foundei and presi dent of 1). W. Alderman & Sons, large lumber corporation of Alcolu; presi (lent of the Aleolu railro:al and the Alderman Department stol - inl Mann ning. Ile was one of the largest land Ow(iners in Clarindon and adjoining counties. Ile was interested in num erous IOther business enterprises. Catching a vision of the possibili ties of the lumber business, particu larly of kiln dried, planed aid graded ceiIilg andl floo inig fromll the short ieedle pine, he set about to fstablish this iirdustry anld was the first mn inl the state to ship a carloini of this lumber to territory nlorth of the Ma. -.onl and Dixonl line. Ilis busi ness ilcreaised rapidly with the passing years andi he accuuiLilated great wealth. Always simple in habits and mod (st ill conduct, his character is happily illustrated by his desire for a lot-st. ftlmelral. One Idf hlis last requests was tiat he be laid to rest ill a coimn made of pine boards from the A I-rmam mills. This request was compliedl with. ir. .J. ..
