Pisgah, in Anderson county, and to this union six children were born, two of . them preceding him to the graVe by many years. Three sons and one daughter survive him. They are Dr. C. N., Dr. Edd F., Dr. W. R. and Mrs. W. A. Mauldin, all of Eas ley. His wife died about five years ago. Since then he has made fits home with his children. Mr. Wyatt was a Confederate veteran, having served through the war. He joined the Baptist church many years aao and had i lived a consistent member up to the time of his death. His mem I bership was with the First church in Easley. His funeral was conducted by his pastor, Rey. E. V. Babb, assisted by Rev, D. W, Hiott, the day fol lowing his death, and tho inter. ment was in West view ceme tery hy the side of his beloved wife.
