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.
