Roschelle Haile, Jr., eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Haile. The young man had been in declining health for a year or more ! and his death though not un- j expected was a sad shock to his many friends. The funeral service was conducted from the home on Booth street Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock by Rev. W. A. Hafner, assisted by Rev. S. P. Hair, after which the body was laid to rest in the town cemetery. Mr. Haile was born in Kershaw county May 15, 1885. When quite young his father moved to Charlotte and there the young man distinguished himself upon the high standing he made in his studies at the city schools. Upon the removal of the family to Fort Mill some years later Mr. Haile was appointed over a number of applicants to the position of mail carrier on rural route No. 1, the first route established in Fort Mill township. In this position, ! which he filled for four years, he was always accomodating and ! courteous and was. greatly ad- j mired by the patrons whom he | served. Mr. Hailo resigned the position of mail carrier to enter the Atlanta School of Medicine, and when forced on account of ill health to abandon his studies, in the fall of 1910, was within four months of graduation. Since his return to Fort Mill he spent a large part of the time af Black Mountain. N. C., in the hope of regaining his health, but the mountain air proved of but little benefit to him. Fcr the past two it months Mr. Haue nau oeen confined to his home. Mr. Haile was a young man of excellent character, and intellectually ranked with the foremost young men of this section. His death marked the close of a most promising career. Two Tickets for the Election Today.
