death. He spent his entire life here
until about ten years ago when
he moved to Spartanburg and en
gaged in business there.
Upon the formation of McCor
mick County in 1916, Mr. Edmunds
was elected its first sheritt serving
in this capacity for a period of
four years. As an officer he was
faithful, being active at all times
without fear or favor in the sup
pression of crime of every nature.
Of a very unassuming nature,
perhaps the most outstanding
traits of his character was his loy
alty to his friends, and his readi
ness at all times to extend a help
ing hand to those less fortunate
than himself.
Mr. Edmunds was of a family of
J brothers and 1 sister, all of whom
nave passed on except two broth
ers, R. N. Edmunds of Parksville.
and W. J. Edmunds, York.
Mr. Edmunds was twice married,
his first wife being Miss Parrie
Watkins, who preceded him 30
years ago. Of this union two sons
survive, W. Alonza Edmunds, Co
lumbia, S. C., and Thurmond R.
Edmunds, U. S. N., Norfolk, Va.
His second marriage was to Miss
Florence __ 31,569
