Death of Mr.. Crayton

Mr.. Samuel M. Cray ton, whose death we
mentioned briefly last week, was the eld-
est son of Hon. B. T. Crayton, and was
born and reared in Anderson, and has
always resided in or near the city. At
the time of his death he was in the 46th
year of his age. He had been in feeble
health for several months, but was not
confined to his room until about seven
weeks ago. He was afflicted with heart
disease, and during the time he was con-
fined to his room he was unable to lie
down, having to sit almost helpless in his
chair. Five minutes before tho summons
of death came to him, he was sitting in
his chair reading newspaper. Suddenly
be felt change come oyer him, and in q
feeble voice, he called to his good wife,
who was near by, but by the time she
could get him on the bed his spirit had
departed to the better world. While, of
course, his death was daily expected,
when the sad announcement was made
there was general expression of regret.
He bore his illness with the resignation
and patience that has always character
lied his life, and when death called him
he was prepared to go.
Mr. Crayton was highly esteemed and
beloved by all who knew him, and we
doubt if he had an enemy. We feel our
inability to do justice to his many noble
virtues. AS one Of our first Sunday
School teachers, well do we remember
the noble precepts he taught us and the
lasting impressions he made upon our
youthful mind. Since then ne have
known him intimately, and his daily
walk through life exhibited all the char
acteristics OF true Christian. His dispo-
sition was most gentle and affectionate,
and he was ever ready to assist the needy
or speak cheerful word to those who
were in sorrow or trouble. Mr.. Crayton
served throughout the war in the Rutledge
Mounted Rifles, and bis old comrades give
him the praise of heing one of the best SOL
diers that fought for the Confederacy.
He was severely wounded at the battle of
Ridley's Shop, but as soon as he recov-
cred he again entered tho service, where
he remained until the surrender. The
mule which he rode at the surrender was
brought home and is still living. His
tender care of this animal is only another
illustration of his kind and humane dis
position.
Mr.. Crayton, since his boyhood, was a
faithful member Of the Presbyterian
Church, and for number of years past
served his Church as Deacon. On last
Thursday his remains were inferred in
the Presbyterian Cemetery, The funeral
services being conducted by Rev. DR..
Frierson, in the presence of large con-
course Of friends and relatives. The
knights of Honor, of which he was
member, attended the funeral in body.
He leaves wife and four children. The
familiar face of Sam'l NJ. Crayton will not
be seen again on this earth, but his
memory will be cherished by the many
friends he has left behind.

would be difficult to decide between these
three, but the Judges were not long in
awarding the prize to Cadet Whitlock, of
Union County.
