DEAp BODr FouSD.-Last Wednesday
information was given to Squire French.
that the dead body Of man was found on
Mr.. james Capehart's land. near Old
Town creek. and he Immediately caused a
jury to be empannelled and held an inquest
over the body, and it was thought to be
the body of Isaac E. Lewis Of West Col
umbia. Mr.. John Mason being present
requested that certain articles found on his
person be given him that he might show
them to bis family and sec if they could
identify them. The articles we're all iden-
tilted by bis widow. The body was then
conveyed to bis family and properly inter.
red.
The deceased was born the 30th Of July.
1904, and was drowned February 18th,
1871; aged &C years 6 months and IS
days LIE was tho son of John Lewis, de-
ceased, one Of the pioneers Of this county.
Mr.. Lewis served his country 10 the Mex
lean war, was honorabIy discharged and
drew a pension. But notwithstanding he
had so far lost his health during his serv-
ice in the Mexican war as to entitle him
to pension, yet when the dark cloud Of
civil war was spreading over his native
land, he volunteered his services to aid bis
government in crushing out the late re-
belliOu. Such is patriotism.
Mr.. Lewis leaves wife and several
children, and many friends to mourn his
unlimcly end.
