Reunion Of The Williams Family.

On August the 9TH, the children,
grandchildren, relatives aud neighbors
of A. P. Williams gathered at his home
in Pendleton township.
On that date 65 years ago the subject
OF this sketch was born in what ia now
the city of Greenville, but his parents
removed to Anderson County when he
was but few months old, and he has
ever eince made this county his home.
Although opposed to secession, he
gave about three years of his life to
the service of his country in the war
with the States. was wounded just be-
fore the gsr eiosoG, and returned to
hle home to begin life anew. 1t is
times and the struggle the people had
to make afterward for the necessities
of life, but hard times with him is a
thing of the past, for he now has q
good home, and is spending his declin-
ing years in ease and plenty.
lnere we're present on this 65th
anAiversary of his birth @ children, 20
grandchildren, Mrs. H. N. Clark, an
aunt aS!, OF the famii y, Mrs. Daricott and
Burne, and others arrived after the
services closed at protracted meet
ing, which was in progress nearby.
Among these were three ministers
that were conducting the services, Rev.
A. a.: Merritt, Rev. T. p. Phillips,
ant Rev. Thomason, and their pres
ehce added much to the social as we'll
as spiritual enjoyment of the day.
a table was erected under the pretty
shade trees, and at 1880 O'Clock dinner
was announced. 1t may not be polite
to tell Of all the good things on this
table, but there wae en abundance OF
them, and we don't think it saying too
much, that when all had partaken un-
til they could "do no more," there was
enough taken up TO nave fed another
crowd just as large.
After dinner was over all got in
shape Tor Il. 0. Brock to try making q
picture picture OF d,.tae. the group; which: if it
esting to look at, and be O help to
those present IN keeping the day fresh
in their memory.
or course all the epjoyments of this
life must have an end, and this day 80
pleasantly spent was no exception, but
the thought of parting, though sad, ia
not 20 be compared with that of hav-
ing spent the day so pleasantly to-
gether, and each one returned to their
homes feeling much better at the
thought of having met again. All
joined In wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liams many more just such returns of
the day. and hoping to all meet in
that Country" where reunions
have no end. A Guest.

Death Of Robert A. Gilmer.

Capt. r, A. Gilmer, one of the most
prominent figures for more than q half
centuryin this county, fell victim
70 the grim reaper, whose sickle none
escape, on last Monday night, July
slst, 1903, at the home of his daughter,
On the night of June 30th last, Capt.
Gilmer and his wife were aroused from
their sleep by q strange noise in the
house just In time to escape from the
flood Of water which was rapidly rising
ip the house, and in order to make
their escape they were compelled to
wade through water about four feet
deep for some distance to a tenant
house. 1t ia thought that this ex-
perience was the cause of his fatal i'll
ness.
Capt. Gilmer was born at the Gill
mer. homestead near Roberts Church,
in Anderson County, August 49, 1927.
and had he lived to the 23rd OF this
month he would have been 78 years of
age. He was married to Francis
Amanda Swift on the cath of Novem-
ber, 1852, who died May 8, 1857. Of
this marriage there were seven chill
dren, three of whom survive: Messrs
Swift and Lee Gilmer and Mrs. Birdie
Walker. Capt. GiImer was married o
second time to Miss Sarah Caroline
McFall, October 1, 1887, who survives.
Capt. Gilmer was o Royal Arch
Mason and amongst the oldest in the
State. He has all the time retain
ed his membership with Hiram Lodge,
Anderson County. In the year 1851
he settled on the banks Of Chauga
River, where 40 mas lived ever, since.
His father was James Gilmer, who
euperintended the division of Old
Pickens district, and the maiden name
Of his mother was Elizabeth Calhoun,
OF Newberry County.
So Capt. Gilmer was man of extensive
learning and was always a cheerful,
painstaking and safe adviser. He had
by industry accumulated consider
able amount Of property. In his death
the county and State have, as have his
family, sustained great loss.
His romans were inferred at Hope
well Methodist Church., after annro-
a1.s..a.ts 1...a. tS funeral services, conducted by
Rev. Mr. Harold, Of Westminster, in
the presence of q large gathering Of
friends and acquaintance8. Two Of
his brothers survive him who are
/ Pr0minen citizens of Anderson County,
McEerg. j. j. and B. @. Giimer. Meny
tears we're shed over his bier by both
young and old who have at all times
Found In him d true friend in time Of
need, Hewas especially kind sowarii
the poor and afflicted. While co far "a
wo know he has left no religious OK
