DEATH OF T. W. B????liK,
/ .m.
Death once again entered our midst on
Sunday l?Ssj ?nu thia Unie certainly struck
a shining mark. It is hard for one who
wnp ' not present, to conceive the shock
winch ran through the community when
?'oicc and phone from one end of the town
o tlie other, from white and colored,
from old and young, from every sphere
and degree in social life, carried'the
overwhelmingly sad announcement,
"TOM BOUCHIKR IS DBA1).' '
Verily, death came as a thief in the
night. Tonil appearances, Mr. Bouchier
was in the best of health, virile and en
> crgctic, and in the full possession of an
active, cultivated mind. With his usual
devotion to the Interest of his clients, he
was engaged, with au associate, until a
late hom- on Saturday night at work. He
arose Sunday morning and after dressing
and eating lils breakfast, he walked down
to the postoffice, principally to get a let
ter he was expecting from his wife, who
wnsTvisiting relatives in Florida. He
crossed the square with a friend, to whom
he expressed himself as feeling unusually
well. When they reached the postomce,
while tlie gentleman with him walked
around towards tlie Livery Stable, Mr.
Bouchier cnterod tile office. Mr. Eman
uel, the postmaster, who was inside tlie
enclosure, heard some one unlock his
box, get out his mail, take a (ew steps
and then fall. He ran out, but Mr. J.
R.Sampson, who was approaching the
office, reached the fallen man first. They
saw him breathe once or twice, and the
sonl of Thomas W. Bouchier was garner
ed in with tile immortal sheaves.
Thomas W. Bouchier was born in Chc
law, S. C., April 28th, 1863. He wns
thc second son of the lamented Dr. T.
W. Bouchier and Harriett E. Race, the
former of whom was laid to rest Only a
few vents, ".go.amidst the sorrow of so
many devoted friends; thc latter, soothed
by the love and respect of all who know
her, iives to mourn thc death of a de
voted, unselfish sou. Mr. Bouchier had
thc advantages of only a common school
education," but he improved an active
mind by a judicious course of reading.
Reaching his majority, he entered the
law office of Messrs. Dudley & Newton
and under thc guidance of these eminent
attorneys, he prepared himself for tile
bar, and was admitted at the Spring Term
1883 of the Supreme Court. On May 25,
1877, he was married to Shadle M., thc
eldest daughter of Judge C. P. and Mrs
Amanda McConnell Townsend. Pour un
usually bright and attractive children
blessed this union, all of whom, with
their stricken mother, survive to mourn
the loss of a devoted husband and father.
It is hard to exaggerate the virtues or
estimate the merits of such a man as
Tilomas W. Bouchier. Whether viewed
from the standpoint of lawyer chid citizen
or those nearer and more delicate rela
tions of christian, neighbor, husband and
father, he came up to the full mcasu: 3 of
tlie strictest demands. No ?oonor had
lie offered his services to the public ns a
lawyer, than lils success could easily have
been foretold. His close attention to
business, his strict integrity, his clear
judgment and his legal acumen, com
mand cd the confidence of the business
public. Were evidence required to es
tablish his position at the bar, it would
be sufficient to point to his large clientage
among every class and condition of life.
As a citizen, Mr. Bouchier was patriot
ic, progressive and public spirited. He
was ever in tlie forefront in any move
ment looking to the improvement and
betterment of his Town, his State, his
country. He was always ready to con
tribute of his tune, his ability and his
means, to any effort, the purpose of which
was to add to the advancement of human
happiness and human progress, and it
needed not the spur of civic honors to
command his adherence and his energies.
Por several years he has been a member,
and latterly chairman, of the Board of
Trustees of The Murchison Graded
School, and his intelligent efforts in be
half of the success of this institution
-. u lc?? v.? ^cumins no
bility, that those who knew him best,
delight most to regard such a character
as TOM BOUCHIRR.
"The friends thou hast and their adoption
tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hooks of
steel,"
constituted a life principle witli bini and
he who could claim thc title of "friend"
or "ncghbor," ever found him true, un
selfish, generous and responsive. No
hypocrite's han 1 was in yours when you
clasped that of Tom Bouchier's, and in
its warmth arid kind pressure, you felt
thc beats of a large and generous Wwi,
while out of lils bright and expressive
eyes, beamed the response of a sympa
thetic heart. True charity never appeal
ed to bim in vain, and f he sorrowing and
suffering ever had a sympathetic hearer
in tlie deceased. While he made no
boast of, nor did he desire public acclaim
for, his charities, those in want never
left him emptyhanded, and he deemed it
a sad privilege to mingle his tears witli
those who mourned.
In his religious life he was as unassu
ming as he was sincere, and though he
made no claims to superior sanctify, he
was a firm bcliuver in thc true and living
God and in the redeeming grape of the
Saviour, making it a part of his Hie and
acting upon tile promise, "Inasmuch as
ye have done it unto the least of these,
ye have donn unto me." He performed
With zeal and encl > the duties imposed
upon him by his o' -ireh vows, and whe
ther as a member of the hoard of Stew
ards, or meekly kneeling at the altar to
receive the emblems of a vicarious offer
ing and suffering, he was the faithful
follower of the meek and lowly Nazarene.
Delicacy forbids that we enter too large
ly into tlie sacred precincts of home-not
that every act, word and deed of TOM
BOUCBIKR in the domestic circle would
not hear the broadest glare of the most
blazing light (would to God there were
more husbands and fathers like him !)
but the hearthstone is and should ever
be regarded as a holy spot dedicated alone
to God and family. In one of those
Iptiely but beautiful cemeteries which dot
til? historic and poetical Highlands of
Scotland, tlmre lu a modest stone which,
after th? name of the mm who slept be
neath it, bears thc Inscription ! "Think
all that a son, a husband, a father, Should
He; be was that and more." Could high
er eulogiuui be passed upon humanity ?
Yet Tom Bouchier is entitled to it. Could
wo (iii)' more ? If so, imagine it said, for
DO language, cnn bc truthfully regarded
ns extravagant in attempting to portray
tlie love and devotion of tfiff dead for
those who stood ncarcsl him, and no
sacrifice too great had ho boon called
upon to make it.
The regard in which our dead friend
was held by all who with whom he was
associated or who knew him, was eviden
ced by t)m many beautiful floral tributes
which were sent to dopfc Ids bier, and thc
vast concourse who attended his last ob
sequies. Around his grave, at Oak Ridge
Cemetery, stood two of his former, and
his present, pastor, each of whom deem
ed it a sad privilege to testify to hts re
gard for his dead friend and thc appre
ciation lie had for his loyalty to the church
and bis christian character. Others there
were-old and young, white and colored
- whose tear dimmed eyes and saddened
countenance betokened their appreciation
of tho great loss they, individually, had
sustained and the void which the death of
the lamented would ?nuke in Church,
State, Country, and-th* Dome,
"He is not dead but sleepetb!" No
more on earth will his clarion and elo
quent voice be heard in thc court-room
pleading Hie cause of the wronged and
thc oppressed ; no more will his baud be
stretched out to relieve the distressed ami
the suffering ; not again shall wc meet
t?ic beaming eyes ol clasp the worm hand
of our dead friend ; his wtBe ?dvice cud
hi? encouraging words will be missed
from thc JJ?U?.?V? boura a?ul Ju the con
sulting chamber ; a void hos Deten created
in the social circle and a va?o?m at the
hearthstone which time; eau not fill, or
ages supply, yet, "he is not dend but
sleepeth." His tnetuocy will. forever
bloom in the bright garden of friendship
and his devotion to evcryrduty will be, an
example to those who follow liiin. Then

Or your hearts be sorely riven ?
