XIX. PROMINENT MASON DEAD. IIUKIED WITH MASONIC HONORS AT DORM AN CEMETERY. Pa ft seii Away at tlic Home of liift Daujfhter Near I.oris. S. C.. on July 24tli, IM05. After Short llliieftft. Brother Daniel Suggs'lied on July the21th 1905 near Doris, S. (J., at the home of his daughter Mrs. Marshall Prince, whom he was visiting when stricken with malarial fever. "Uncle Daniel," as he was familiarly known, numbered his friends by hundreds, all of whom will be pained to ^r ear of his death. It may be truly said that a good man is gone. While liis> means were limited, he was always ready to contribute what he could to good causes. H is hand was ever ready to help those in need and distress. For many years he was a staunch member of lona Methodist church, always taking an active part in all things pertaining to the welfare of his church and Sunday School work, lona church has lost one of its st rongest supporters. About !87?> "Uncle Daniel ' was made a Master Mason in Nichols Dodge, Nichols, S. C., and in lfHO, he with others of Green Sea, S. C., applied to the Grand Dodge of S. C., for a charter for Green Sea Dodge No. 205,of which he was a member at the tjime of his death. From the establishment of this lodge up to the time he was taken ill he was a lead ing spirit, lie served the Dodge as Senior Deacon, Junior and Senior Warden, Treasurer and Worshipful Master, which last Honorable posi lion he held quite a number of years and repeatedly represented Green Sea Lodge in the annual communications of the Grand Lodge of this State, which he did with honor to himself and the fraternity. By his own request, Green Sea Lodge assembled at the Dornian Cemetery at 2 p. m., July 25th where in the presence of a large crowd of sorrowing relatives, friends and acquaintances, he was laid away with Masonic honors. By his death Green Sea Lodge, A. 1<\ M. sustains a broken column and a spirit of Masonry has flown to that undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveller ever returns again. Brother, we bid thee a last, long farewell. Peace to thy ashes. B. State Farmers InstituteThe State Farmers' Institute will beheld at Clemson Agricultural College on August 8th to 11th, 1905.
