For a time it was hoped that the progress of the disease had been arrested and that his life would be spared for a few years at least, but recently his condition gradually grew worse and* while his death yesterday was sud? den It was not altogether unexpected. The news of his death was received here, where he was born and reared, with sincere sorrow by hundreds, for Sol Ryttenberg was held In loving es? teem by all who knew him. and he enjoyed a popularity in this communi? ty that few other young men have been able to win., As a boy and young I I man he was a leader among those of his own age and no enterprise or un? dertaking was complete unless he had a part In it. He was a true and sin? cere friend, a considerate, thoughtful, kind-hearted gentleman, who was es? teem sd and loved for his genuine worth. His circle of friends was large and If he had an enemy In Sumter no ona knew It. During his enforced ab? sence from home he has been sadly missed and now that he has Journeyed to that far country from whose bourne no traveler returns his family and friends are bowed down with grief. But their sorrow Is tempered by the comforting thought that hla life, though brief, was worth while and will long be held In tender and loving remem? brance. Sol J. Ryttenberg was the son of the late Harry Ryttenberg, of this city. He Is survived by hla mother, four brothers and three sisters. His remains will be brought to this city for interment arriving by the 7.30 a. m. train tomorrow, accom? panied by Messrs.,!. C. Strauss and Henry Q.
