BY THE WAY . . .
(Continued from page 1)
WHEN are the American
people going to get mad
enough to demand that we win
that war and get our boys out
of those swamps? Perhaps by
next Presidential election, the
voice of the people will be
heard.
‘GENE’ SUCCUMBS
Gene Gary died last week at
Newberry County Memorial
hospital after an illness of
several months.
Perhaps many newcomers
would not recognize the name,
but those of us who have lived
in Newberry for many years
knew Gene as a fine, Christian
gentleman. From the time I
can remember, Qene served as
custodian of the bank building.
He was always friendly, polite,
and helpful. It would be hard
to find any person, Negro or
white, who ever had a harsh
word for Gene Gary. He was
highly respected by all who
knew him.
The brief portrait on the fun
eral program perhaps best
describes the man he was..
A portion of that portrait
follows:
“Mr. Gary was a lifelong
resident of Newberry; a duti
ful obedient son; a wonderful
husband; a kind and loving fa
ther; a doting grandfather; a
loyal, faithful Christian mem
ber of Calvary Presbyterian
church; a hard worker; a good
provider; a friend to those
needing a friend; a noble cit
izen; always busy and alert to
