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

was old and much enfeebled by age,

DEATH OF W. M P. BOATS.
W. M. P. Hoats, an aged citizen of
the Sandy Dam community, died at
the home of his daughter. Mrs. C. 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.
