Crosses Over tbe River. Died, Friday, January 12, at his home at Greelyville, S C, Mr Samuel J Taylor. On Thursday before, Mr Taylor was apparently enjoying his usual health, when some time in the afternoon he was suddenly stricken with paralysis and soon became unconscious. Although everything possible was done for him he never regained consciousness and at 3:30 o'clock Friday morning his spirit passed away. Mr Taylor was born in Charleston, but when a lad of twelve years he came to Greelyville to live with his kinsman, Dr Henry Dubose. At that time what is now the flourishing town of Greelyville was but a wilderness and Mr Taylor was one of the* sturdy pioneers to whose energy and intelligence the wilder ness has been reclaimed and in its midst a flourishing town,surrounded by a fertile farming country, haB come into being. As merchant and farmer, controlling many acres of land, he was truly a captain of industry and the fruit of his toil will long live after him. Mr Taylor was gifted with unusual intelligence,a pleasing personality and was very entertaining in his conversation. His hospitable home stood invitingly open to his friends and, withal, the stranger within his gatei3 wal never turned away. He kept posted on current events and seemed never more pleased than when mingling with his friends in social discourse. He had a large fund of war anecdotes which he related with the charm of a natural raconteur. As a member of the 6th Regiment, S C V, Co K, he gave four years' faithful service at the front, and his comrades all testify to his courage and devotion to the Lost Cause. He was a member of Mt Hope Baptist church and belonged to the Masonic order. The funeral and interment took place Saturday at 11 o'clock at Mt Hope church, near Greelyville, the services being conducted by Rev Mr Rankin, tie pastor. His wife having preceded him in death several years ago,he is survived by foup children: Mr S V Taylor of Greelyville, Mrs M D DeLorme of Charleston and Drs E 0 and W L Taylor of Kingstree. A good man has gone. May his sleep be the dreamless slumber of the just and at the final Judgment may he meet the reward of the righteous Born to Mr and Mrs R D Mills Tuesday morning, January 16th, a boy. A prominent engineer of Ham burg reports that concrete blocks, introduced into Germany a few years ago, were unsatisfactory, as they proved to be more expensive than brick, to which the German people are partial.
