J. H. ARMSTRONG DEAD.'
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

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

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. Aldrich Wyman was instructed
;o procure a charter for the exten- i
;inn r?f linp frnm Ranahertr to
Denmark, and this will be done at
rnce. H. J. Brabham, J. Aldrich
ftyman, Dr. J. L. Copeland, H. A.

as a committee to solicit adlitional
subscriptions to the capital
