CRUEL ENDING
FOR OLD MAN
Samuel W. Reaves Found Dead
and Burned Sunday
Morning
LONG TALE OF CRUELTY
May Have Been Killed and
Body Laid in Fire
Where Found
(Special to The Horry Herald.)
Allsbrook, S. C., Dec. 18th.?Samuel
W. Reaves was found dead last
Slindnv mnvnintr luivnorl nlmnet I I
j voiul recognition.
W. E. Porter was notified last Sun-'
day morning1 about J) o'clock by the
son of the dead man that his father
was burned to death. He went at
once to the place, a short distance,
then sent out the news over the vicinity.
In a few hours he had several
of the neighbors on the scene.
He then called Magistrate B. L.
Carter to hold an inquest as the man
was found dead and alone in the
kitchen, the son sleeping; in 1 lie other
house, about seventy-five or so feet
^b^ve the kitchen. The position the
body was found in, and the way he
was burned caused much speculation,
and called for an investigation.
Soon after the magistrate arrived,
a jury of inquest was selected, with
W. E. Porter as foreman. The body
was given a thorough examination.
This (lid not reveal anything* to warrunt
the arrest of anyone.
The man was burned so badly that
it was difficult to determine how or
in what way he died. The body was
found well up in the fire place, which
was wide, and built of clay, with his
face upward and nearly all of the
hair, skin and ears burned otY the
head.
There was nothing' to show that
the man had burned to death. He
died and fell into the fire place, 01
was laid in the fire dead, was the belief
of those who had charge of tW
investigation. Since the death of the
man. it is rumored that the body may
be disinterred for further investigation.
It seems from what can be learnec'
that Grover Reaves, the son who i>
single, and lived or should have livec
with his father at the time of hi}
death, was very cruel to his father
and did not provide support tor nit
parent and deprived him of sleeping
in the house where all the beds were
by staying .away from home manj
nights until a late hour. The old man
it is said, slept in the kitchen by th(
nlace, with nothing but corn sacl
sheets to sleep on, and to cover with
He was found on the coldest nigh
of last winter locked out of bo'l
houses. W. E. Porter found him thi:
