The surviving members of Company
&C." Palmetto Sharpshooters, during the
late war, will regret to hear of the death of
Henderson White, colored, the cook of
Capt. T. P. Benson, which took place in
Columbia last week. Henderson went
with his master to Virginia in 1861, and
remained until the surrender of Lees
army, and was ever faithful and true.
Often has the writer Of this, together with
other members of the command, before
going into battle, left with Henderson
watches, money and other valuables, and
never was the trust betrayed. He, with
Napoleon GaJlard, another colored man
connected with the Company during the
greater part of the war, were two of the
most faithful and honorable colored men
it has ever been our good fortune to know.
The war was severe tes' If character, and
if there was anything mean in man it
was sure to come to the surface. IF there
was ever an unkind word spoken to these
two men, we never heard of it. Peace to
their ashes.
Mrs. Sarah Postell Harris died at the
residence of Mrs. Lucy Cater, in this city,
on, Wednesday morning, at clock, after
q long Illness. Mrs. Harris was sister
Of the late DR.. A. P. Cater, and was one of
the oldest residents of Anderson, having
moved from Beaufort County to this place
,in1836. In 1854 she married DR.. Nathan
iel Harris, of Abbeville, who died in 1866.
Mrs. Harris reached the ripe old age of
70 years, and we doubt if there has ever
resided in Anderson person who was
more dearly beloved. She was well
known and general favorite with every
acquaintance. She was possessed Of
most lovable disposition, and was ever
ready and willing to minister to the COM
forts and wants of the sick, the distressed
and the poor. Mrs. Harris had been for
years faithful and devoted member of
the Presbyterian Church. and throughout
her long life exempli6ed the characteris-
tics of true Christian. She was an earn
est, active member of the Sunday School
as long she was able to attend. Her men,
ory will long be cherished by her friends.
She has been cal, ID to the bright realms
above, where she will wear crown of
many jewels for her many deeds of chari-
ty and kindness done on this earth. The
remains we-e inferred in the Presby yterian
cemetery Wednesday afternoon, after i'm
pressive funeral services, conducted by
Rev, DR.. Frierson.
