An- of another: “None knew him but to love him.” None named him but to praise and though not unlocked for, the suddenness with which the event finally occured caused if possible additional pangs of sorrow to all his loving friends. On Thursday afternoon Sept. 31, the relentless hand of death came and snatched from us this beloved man, and left to hb mourning family and friends only the tenment of day which was, alas: too soon to be de posited in the silent grave. Hb remains were interred on Fri day afternoon at “Old Field Creek” cemetery amidst a large crowd of sad hearts. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. C. W. Burgess, the methodist minister. About dark the funeral cortege wound its mel ancholy way homeward, leaving in the embrace of hb mother earth all that was once our dear ‘Uncle; Henry.” He w’as bom May 2, and diet! Sept. 31, 1909 making him S3 years 4 months and 29 days old. There are few of us spared over three scoi e years and ten but it was God's will. to give him to us as a helper and comfort several years more. He was old and much enfeebled by age, but, oh: how hard to part with him. We are a weak people, but God nev er places a heavier burden on us than we are able to bear. So we must al ways willingly submit to his will. He was bom and raised on the same homestead on which he died. He joined the methodist church some years back and remained a in sistent member until the end; he was; ever willing and ready to submit to! His will, and to serve his loving Savior. His health for the past few years was very bad and he became a vie-* tim of many diseases, one particular one was the almost absolute loss of the sense of hearing. He bore his suffering well never murmuring at pain and seemed perfectly willing and ready logo when the end came. He kept up and around until a few days before death claimed him.

D. Lowry in Charleston Friday at 1 o’clock, and was brought to Walter boro Saturday morning and interred at the Sandy Dam cemetery at the arrival of the morning train; the funeral services having been con ducted in Charleston by Rev. Dugan, at the residence of his daughter. Mrs. Lowry. Mr. Hoats raised a large family and is survived by ten children, five sons and five daughters: his wife pre ceded him to the grave two years ago. Mr. Hoats was 82 years old, and has been in failing health for some tim.*. The 4th of May he attempted j to open a gate and fell injuring his hip, since which time, he has been unable to walk. For the past two montiis he has been living with his daughter in Charleston. His children are: Mrs. Sarah E. Thomas. Charleston. Mrs. C. D. I Lowry of Charleston. Mrs. W. E. jl.o*ryof Hanieeville, Mrs. C. G. .•’in »ak t of Cocoa Nut Grove, Fla., of and Mrs. R. E. Glenn of Knights Kee Joseph S Saunders died Saturday night about 12 o’clock very suddenly. Mr Saunders, for the past year, has been living in Florida. During the summer he contracted a very severe case of typhoid fever, from which he was convalescing. As soon as he was able he returned to his former home near Stokes, which was Tuesday, Oct* 5th. He was still very weak from his illness and was slightly indisposed with chill and fever. It was thought that he was get* ting along as well as could be ex pected, and it was not feared that his illness would terminate fatally. Saturday night some relatives had come in to spend the night and the family had remained up until about 12 o’clock before retiring. Mr Saunders had gone to his room; his sister assisted him in going to bed and she had just left the room when she heard a slight struggle, and go ing back she found Mr Saunders in the throes of death. It is supposed that the cause of his death was a stroke of apoplexy. The interment took place at Dr’s Creek cemetery Monday afternoon at 3 o’clock; the funeral services be ing conducted by Rev. J P Graham of the Baptist church in the presence of a large number of relatives and friends. Mr Saunders was a young man of many sterling qualities and was un iversally loved by all who knew him. He w’as about thirty-five years old and had spent the most of his life at i his home near Stokes.* but we must harbor this thought, that he is not dead hut sleeping; his influence will never die.
