Joel Tillman Crisp died Mar. 27. 1911 Ho loaves seven children curviving him, 116 grandchildren and great grand children and two great-great grandchildren. Ho lived to see his fifth generation. He was a brave Con* federate soldier; was one of the fli-3t volunteers in the army. Ho wont fromj Laurens county. Ho was in the Third, South Carolina regiment. Capt. Ford Todd's company. Ho was promoted at the second battle of Manassns to wng on-master and served there until the close of the war. Ho was a member of the .lames I). Nance camp of Newebny. He made his home with Iiis daughter. Mrs. M. E. Hltt. during the last 21 years of his lifo, where he died. He was only sick a short while before his death and was perfectly conscious un til about a half hour before his death. The children wish to extend their sinceresl thanks to nr. W. E. Pelham, Jr., who w;ts so true and faithful dur ing the illness and death of their lath er, and it is also comforting to know that the Daughters of the Confederacy did not forgot him. The burial took place at Hopewell church on Tuesday at two o'clock, the funeral service being conducted by Rev. E. C. Watson, assisted by Revs. G. A. Wright and W. R. Uouknlght. It was my privilege to visit Brother Crisp several times during bis faw months resilience in Newberry, I al ways found him appreciative. As Cod'a word was read he would listen atten tively. Just a lew hours I) -fore he passed away, as some passages were being read, he said: "I have read that before, and ii has comforted mo." He had no fear of the beyond, for said he, "I have made preparation lor that; .?" the only thing I dread la the sting of death." But when the end came there was no sting, and he fell asleep in Jesus. "Servant of God, well done: Rest from thy loved employ. The battle fought, the vict'ry won, Enter thy Master's joy. The pains of death are past, Labor and sorrow cease; And life's long warfare closed at last His soul Is found in peace. Soldier of Christ, well done. Praise by thy new employ; And while eternal ages run Rest in thy Saviour's joy." Q. A. Wright ?Newberry Observer. March 31. *************** ?? * ?
