Death of a Prominent Business Man and Good Citizen. Mr. J. H. Armstrong died at his residence on Midway street in this city Tuesday morning after an illness of about three weeks. He suffered from some stomach trouble, and while he recovered sufficiently to come down town last week, he seemed to grow weaker day by day until the end came. Only a few days ago, however, did his condition become alarming, but even then he was bright and cheerful and said that he was going to get well, that while he knew he was very sick, he was not going to die. The burial took place this (Wednesday) afternoon at 3.30 o'clock at the old cemetery, the services being conducted by Rev. Peter Stokes, pastor of Trinity Methodist church in this city, of which the deceased had been a member for a number of years. The pall bearers_were: Honorary: J. T. O'JNeal, Dr. J. is. Black, H. C. Folk, S. W. Johnson, Jno. H. Cope, J. A. Byrd. Activp: E. C. Bruce, Geo. A. Jennings, C. J. S. Brooker, J. M. Grimes, E. L. Price, Dr. J. J. Cleckley, G. Frank Bamberg, Jones A. Williams. Mr. Armstrong was born in Charleston, but had been living in Bamberg for the past twenty-five years. He married Miss Nita Brabham, a daughter of Mrs. Julia Brabham, and she with five children, three girls and two boys, survive him. He was a well-known business man, having been a salesman in the store of C. R. Brabham for a long time, and three years ago he went int? the firm of Armstrong-Johnson-Brabham Co. .when it was organized. He never sought public honors of any kind, but when the affairs of the Bamberg graded school were put into the hands of a board of five trustees he was unanimously chosen one of the number. He took much interest in the school, and there are no exercises to-day, the pupils attending his funeral in a body in honor of his memory. The funeral was largely attended, thus showing'the high esteem in which he was held in this community. The floral offering were especially handsome. One of the most beautiful was the one sent by the business men and clerks of the town. We understand that Mr. Armstrong carried life insurance of $2,000 or $3,000, but we did not hear in what companies. He was a good citizen, and will be sadly missed, not only by his immediate family, but in the town and community. He was forty-six years old. Railroad fleeting. A meeting of the board of directors of the Bamberg-Ehrhardt & Walterboro Railroad Company was held at the office of Bamberg Banking Co. in this city Tuesday of this week. There were present: H. J. Brabham, Jno. F. Folk, G. Frank Bamberg, A. Rice, J. Aldrich Wyman, Bamberg; C. W. Garris, Denmark; Dr. J. L. Copeland, H. A. Hughes, J. M. Dannelly, Ehrhardt, the full board attending. It was decided to proceed under the present organization, all legal technicalities having been complied with, two of the Walterboro corporators having agreed in writing to tfhat had been done under the pres ;nt charter. Dr. J. L. Copeland, of Ehrhardt, 1 vas elected president; C. W. Garris, >f Denmark, vice president and maniger; J. Aldrich' Wyman, secretary , md counsel; H. J. Brabham, treas- 1 irer.i ' J.
