Died at his home at Hornsboro, Major William Augustus Evans, at about 2.30 a. m., Sunday morning, August 2nd, in the eighty-second year of his age. Although he had been in failing ihealth for several years, the news ol his death was received with sorrowby his many friends. His death has brought the bitter cup of sorrow to .the lips of his friends and relatives. His was a heart of gold. He was one of nature's noblemen in its truest sense?brave, generous, manly. His was the soul of honor, and his friends and friendships were sacred to him. There was a daily beauty about his | life which won every heart. In temperament he was mild, conciliatory and candid; and yet remarkable for an uncompromising firmness. In his death a life that has been prominent in the affairs of the county for a long time was ended. He was born and raised near White Plains this county, and made his 'home there un til a few years after the war, when he moved to Hornsboro and there spent the remainder of his life. Maj. Evans served the full four yars in the Civil War. He was first lieutenant in the Chefterfleld Ligat Artilery, known as J. C. Coit's battery He ably represented Chesterfield county in the South Carolina General Assembly in the seventies. He was the last of the charter niemVrs of Mt .Moriah lodge of Masons, and the sword ibe carried' dhring the war is still in the ossession of the lodge. He was twice married, the first time Co Miss Annie Hennegan, of Marlboro county. No children were born to this union. The second marriage was to Mrs. Willie Poole, of Newberry. Mrs. J. M. Hough, of Chesterfield, is the only surviving daughter of this union. H was a member of Mt. Moriah Baptist church, and his life1 bore him out in his profession. The county, and especially Hornsboro community, has lost one of the most active and influential men that ever resided in it. The body was laid to'rest in the cemetery at Chesterfield Monday afternoon with Masonic honors, after a short funeral service had been conducted by Rev. B. S. Funderburg, of the Baptist dhurch.
