TRIBUTE TO ^LnRED MAN
Prominent F ^ of Georst,own
,tend Funeral.
\
Qeor-'town. April 21.?A demonstfaft1
cons^ere(' remarkable occur-^nere
Sunday at the funeral of Wil_.?&m
C. Atkinson, in the African Meth'odist
church, when a large section of
the spacious interior set aside for the
purpose was filled to overflowing with
white men and women of the most
prominent families of the city, met to
Dav tribute of respect to a worthy
member of the colored race. The floral
offerings, covering the casket and
banked around the pulpit, were largely
tributes from the white friends of the
deceased.
Born in 1856 in Georgetown county,
William Atkinson grew up on a rice
plantation, there learning from the
gentlefolk of the manor good manners,
which, coupled with native judgment,
honesty and devotion to duty, in
whatever sphere it came to him, had
brought him not only business success
and the respect and high esteem of
all who knew him, both white and
black. The negroes from all the county
literally swarmed in to attend the
funeral.
A fitting and impressive service was
carried out by the various pastors 01
the city and the selected choir. The
Rev. Perrin, pastor of the deceased,
delivered a panegyric.
"Bill" Atkinson died last Thursday
April 15, having been in failing health
for some months. For the past twenty
years he has conducted a very successful
green grocery here and general
store. His patronage included
nearly everybody to a greater or less
extent and his standard of doing business
was such that everyone had implicit
faith in him.
