WILLIAM ANDREW CROMER William Andrew Cromer, 64, died late Sunday afternoon at his home in the Mount Bethel Garmany section of Newberry county. He had been in declin ing health several years. He was a son of the late David and Sally Elizabeth Suber Cromer. Mr. Cromer is survived by hi wife, Mrs. Essie Lola Lake Cro mer; six children, Harry D. and William A. Cromer, and Mrs. Jobie Smith, all of Newberry; A DANGEROUS HOBBY COLUMBUS, Ga.—An intermediate frame hand in the card room of the Eagle and Phenix textile mill here, Charles Tanton, 35, has adopted diving as a hobby ... a hobby. In pursuit of which he has experienced many a thrill. A diver in Columbus may seem as necessary as a sun lamp in the desert but Tanton, who in his spare . time fathoms the bottom of the : silt-saturated Chattahoochee river, finds his talent is not_ wasted in this inland area. He considers the muddy wa*ers, tricky undercurrent and treacher- ! ous bottom of the Chattahoochee a more worthy opponent than the deep blue sea. Having traveled its bottom for many miles and re trieved an average of four bodies of drowning victims a y^ar for the past 15 years from the river, Tan ton should know whereof he speaks when he says “it takes some tall fighting” to stay beneath the sur face of the river. The body scars he carries would seem to provide mute testimony to his words. Tan ton says he does well to stay under the Chattahoochee for sixty min utes while he has wandered about the ocean floor for many hours without trouble. Using only a diver’s helmet weighing 90 pounds, Tanton. whose father was drowned in the river when the diver was two years old, doesn’t charge any set fee for his service. “I don't charge anything—just what folks can afford,” he said. “Sometimes 1 get $100 and some times 1 get a few bucks. I’d just as soon help people first and let them pay what they can after.” He learned the art of diving when he was 14 at Daytona Beach, Fla. where he spent many hours “awake in the deep" hunting for giant turtles. "All my life it seems like I have loved to be around water,” Tanton observes in ex plaining his seemingly unenviable extra curricular activity. Thomas H. Cromer, Columbia; Ernest Cromer and Mrs. J.
