FUNERAL OF MIR. HAYNswoRTH
All Business Suspended During the
Hours of SeHlce.

The funeral of Maj. W. F. B.
Haynsworth was held at the Bartlett
Street Baptist Church at y O'Clock
Friday, and during the hour of the ser
vice all the stores and business offices
of the city we're closed as mark OF
respect.
The church was crowded until there
was not standing room, and gathered
around the church there were hun
dreds who could not gain admission.
The entire community sought to do
honor to the memory of man who
had the confidence, respect and love
of the people of Sumter. His death is
regarded as personal bereavement by
all who knew him and the cessation OF
business while his body was being
borne to it's last resting place was
but an outward sign Of the grief that
his death has caused.
The services which were conducted
by Rev. f. M. Satterwhite, assisted
by Rev. G. G. Brown, we're OF the
simplest description. and the re-
marks were confined to the briefest
but most sincere testimonies to the
character and worth of the deceased.
For such an one eulogies would have
been out of place, his life having
been the best and truest index of bis
character and worth His mortal
body was tenderly borne to it's last
earthly resting place by the hands OF
sorrowing friends, there to await the
final summons.

From the Daily Item March 16.
Major William F. B. Haynsworth,
tie senior member of the bar Of
Sumter, president of the Bank of
Sumter and Sumter's most honored
citizen, died at his home on East CAL
h,,un street at 8:45 O'Clock this morn
ing, aged eighty years, three months
and twenty-five days. He had been
slightly indisposed for few days but
not the least apprehension was felt Of
a fatal termination OF. his illness. He
attended church on Sunday but on
Monday was not able to be out. Y es-
terday he was feeling much better and
expected to attend a meeting Of the
directors Of the Bank Of Sumter in
the afternoon, but decided not to do
ESso as he was suffering with a slight
|touch Of rheumatism. Last night he
fIad quite a severe attack Of indiges-
tion and it was necessary to call in a
physician This morning, however, he
was apparently much better although
quite weak. AT S:45 o'clock, while sit
ling up he suddenly expired, the i'm
mediate cause Of MS death being heart
failure brought on by the attack last
night and the consequent weakness.
Mr.. Haynsworth was born in this
city November 27, 1924 and Sumter
was his home throughout his life. He
attended the South Carolina college
and was graduated in the class Of
1874. He studied law and was shortly
after his graduation admitted to the
bar and began the practice Of his pro-
sl:ession. He continued in active prac-
lice UP to the time of his death. For
many years he was associated with the
late T. B. Fraser, the firm being dis
solved when the latter was elevated
to the bench. For some years he was
associated with Mr.. r. L. Cooper and

that to-day there Is less discriminate,
