PHONE 36 The Lato R. C. McFaddin. Mr. Robert Charles McFaddin, who died at his homo on December 16, 1012 was ono of Sumter's most venerable and prominent citizens, and his death demands more than a passing notice. He was born in the Concord section of the Black lii\cr country, on Sep? tember 11, 1829, and died in his 84th year. He was a grandson of Robert McFaddin, one of the progenitors of thS numerous family of that name, 1 now or formerly living in Sumter, Clarendon and Williamsburg counties. His parental grandmother's maiden name was Leah Lenoir, a native of Western North Carolina, who was a woman of unusual force of character. Mr. Ii. C. McFaddin's parents were Capt. James I dekey and Adelaide (Spears) McFaddin. In early life he married Miss Pauline Grimball, the daughter of Mr. Paul C. Orlmball of John's island, s. C. He settled upon an ample estate located near the home j of his childhood and engaged with tuccess in agricultural pursuits. His wife predeceased him by many years, her decease having occurred in isss. Their only child, Mrs. Lizzie Wil? liams, who was the solace of his de? dining years, is now a resident of the city of Sumter. Mr. McFaddin was a very modest I and retiring, yet forceful man, of sntiring energy, indomitable will, sound judgment, strong feelings and deep piety. In early life he united with the Concord Presbyterian church, in which he was reared, and which he served faithfully and well as a ruling elder for 37 years. He i loved his State and his church. His sterling habits, perfect Integrity and I sincere piety combined to form a char? acter which never fails to command respect and when the long life of such a man has tilled its measure and he has been called to his better; home and eternal reward he leaves vacant a large place, w hich was all his own.
