The members of the Camden and Kershaw County Chamber of Com merce wish to offer to the family of Mr. T. Edmund Krumbholtz, who died May 30th, 1923, their sympathy; and to express to his frfends and this community sorrow at his taking away. Mr. Krumbholtz occupied a unique position in the community. He came to us during middle life, a stranger, Notwithstanding which he immediate ly identified himself with, and active ly participated in the business, social and charitable interests of our State, County and City, became a potent fac tor in their advancement. His un selfish, sincere and effective effort3 directed to the promotion of the wel fare of the city, the happiness and pleasure of her people, drew around him a circle of friends, between whom und himself was established an unre served trust and confidence. His friends will remember him with a deep and lasting affection, as a true man and a valued citizen. His desire, expressed during his last days that his body be put to rest in the community of his adopted home, furnishes conclusive evidence of the motive prompting his efforts looking to the betterment of his fellow man. "And life is perfected by death." He it resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be mailed to the family and to the papers for publication. (Signed) F.~H. Harding, E. D. Blakeney, Committee.
