him who had been for number of
years pastor of Kingstree Presbyte.
ran Church, and who at the time of
his death was still the beloved pastor
of Union Presbyterian church, near
Salters Depot.
Rev j E Dunlop came to this
county from Marion about 1892,
when he was called to the pastorata
of Indiantown church, and he re-
sided in that community for several
years. From Indiantown he went to
Georgetown, where up to the time of
his death he remained pastor Of the
Presbyterian church in that city.
When he was called to Georgetown
his congregation had no house of
worship and it was by his untiring
eforts-truly labor of love with
him-that the present church struct-
ure was built. In the town where
he answered the last summons it
stands as a fitting monument to his
memory.
Some time prior to his death, We
understand, Mr. Dunlop had ex-
pressed a desire to be buried at
Union church in this county, when
the end came; as the relations be-
tween himself and the congregation
of that church had ever had ever
been peculiarly tender and affection
ate; an6it was in compliance with
this desire that his remains were
laid to rest in the church-yard at
Union last Monday.
As an evidence of the esteem in
which he was held in Georgetown a
special train was placed at the dis
posal of the funeral party by the
Atlantic Coast Corporation and
transpol tation furnished free over
the G & W railroad to those who
wished to attend the funeral. A
crowd of about thirty from George
town accompanied the remains.
