In the death Of Mr.. James McLees,
which occurred at his home in Rock
Mills Township last Sunday morning,
about o'clock, Anderson County loses
another one of her Oldest and most up
right citizens. He had been quite feeble
for several months, and his death was
caused by general weakness attributable
to his old age. Mr.. McLees was born and
reared in the neighborhood of Sadlers'
Creek and had always lived there. He
was staunch and faithful member of
Roberts Presbyterian Church for 60 years
and Ruling Elder for 63 years. His pa
rents were among the first settlers of that
section. Mr.. McLees was man of strong
He was most jealous worker in his
Church and her courts, and was eyer
ready to speak kind word to those in
trouble and grief, and to lend helping
hand to the poor and afflicted. He was
ever ON the side of right and did not hesi-
tate to condemn the wrong. In fact, his
life was spent as true follower Of the
blessed Saviour, and now has gone to
reap the rewards promised the faithful.
His wife preceded him to the grave, but
he leaves numerous descendants to cher
ish his memory. On Monday morning
his remains were inferred in Roberts
Churchyard, Rev. r. C. Ligon conducting
the funeral services, in the presence Of
large crowd of friends and relatives.
