1t is my sad duty to record the
death of j. G.. Hams, ST., one of
Cherokee's oldest and most highly
citizens, which occurred
Sept. 21st. 1902. Mr.. IIames was
born near Mt. Moriah, Union county,
s. G, Feb 3, 1914. OA reaching
manhood he settled on Pacolet river
two miles west of where he was born
and began life for himself. After
remaining q bachelor for five years
and at the age of thirty-one he took
unto himself wife, a Miss Sallie
Allen, the beautiful sixteen year old
daughter of Mr.. Willis Allen, of
Bowldensville, S. G. This might be
termed May and December mar
riage, nevertheless 1t was happy
and prosperous one. Four sons and
two daughters blessed this union and
when each one of them married he
presented them with tract of land
and suit Of household furniture.
lie remained on Pacolet river for
fourteen years, then in the year 80
moved one mile west of his o!d home
to what was then known as the "Cook
place." and for the exception of cne
years absence in the Civil War he
remained, in two miles of where he
was born until the hour of his death,
a noble living example for others.
In 1863 he was elected Lieutenant
of tho S. G. State troops and re-
NAMED in the army one year but
taking no active part in any Of the
battles being over age, never theless
he was as true and loyal to his country
as those who fought in the iercest
battles. In life he was ever ready
to respond to duty's call, SO it was in
death, when the Saviour said come
he knew him and was ready. Mr..
Hames' death was caused partly from
old age aud partly from Bright's
disease. 1t can be truly said Of him
that
"In departing he left behind him
Foot prints on the sand of time. "
