I Well Known Physician Dead. Dr. Thos. B. Meacham, -whose i illness has been noted in these 1 columns during the past several ' weeks, died early Sunday morn- L ing at his home on Confederate 1 street. . ur. Meacham had been | in declining health for more than a year, but was confined to his home for only two or three weeks preceding his death. The funeral was conducted Monday morning at 11 o'clock from the Baptist church by Rev. L. R. Pruitt, of Charlotte, N. C., his own pastor, Rev. Edward S. Reaves, being his son-in-law. The pallbearers were Messrs K. Shannon, J. H. McMurray, S. A. Epps, V. B. Blankenship, D. A. Lee and A. O. Jones. Dr. Thomas Boyd Meacham was born in Jackson, Tenn., January 3d, 1836. His father died when he was quite young and he and his brother, Samuel Banks, were reared by Allen Robertson, their uncle by marriage, who lived near Rock Hill. When he grew to. manhood's years he applied himself to the study of medicine, taking his first course of lectures in the Medical College of New York City but graduating from the South Carolina Medical College about the year I860. He had hardly begun his practice when the great civil war came on and his country had need of men to fight her battles. He was among the first to volunteer, going out or. K0..4.0 i. ITMI aa mot iiuutt'IliUll Ol H XtUL'K 11111 company known as the "White B Guard," of which A. E. Hutchin- c son was captain. This became a part of Col. Micah Jenkins' ^ brigade and did service as coast ^ guard. Later this company was disbanded. When it was re- N organized Dr. Meacham was :i made captain. He was slender of form and youthful in appear- T ance and was known by his com- p rades as "the boy captain." His company again did service as ' coast guard, being a part of ? the Seventeenth Sonth Carolina Regiment. In the fall of 1862 his command was ordered to a Virginia, when Captain Meacham n was forced to resign his position, c his health having broken down b under the exacting demands of * army service. At home he \ practiced his profession, being t associated with Dr. R. H. Hope, and rendered such service as he could to many poor and depend- r ent women whose husbands were away in the army. After the war he continued his i practice in York county for one | year, living for a while at Cataw- ; ba, near Rock Hill, where he | made profession of religion and ] p joined Catawba Baptist church j * in 1867, remaining until the day i' of his death a faithful, enrnpsi r and consistent member of the i, same denomination. o Later because of the stringency of the times, he moved to Char- * lotte, N. C., and engaged in ] mercantile business with his a brother, Samuel Banks Meacham. After only a few years he re- 8 turned to his profession, moving a to Pineville, N. C., where for , seventeen years he pave himself t to the exacting demands of a large country practice. From i Pineville he moved to GafTney c for one year, thence te Fort Mill 0 in 1891, where he conducted a [ drug business in connection with t his practice. For several years, because of failing health, he had largely given up his practice, de- c voting himself almost exclusive- ? ly to his store. * On November 13th, 1862, he * was married to Mary Ann Waters, of York county, from which happy union six children were born, T Walter Banks, Thomas Boyd, ) Bartlett. Mrs. Bessie Sellers, , Mrs Mamie Reaves and Samuel Lewis, all of whom survive him, with their mother, except the third child, who died in infancy. r*-- f .. ?~? MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTIONS.
