At The Church
the pall5earers and State officers
occupied seats that had been reserved
in the center Of the church, and the
Elks divided on either side. The
church was crowded far beyond its
capacity. The services we're con-
Quoted by the Rev. Jabez Ferris, the
pastor of the church and the hymns
rendered were those that were the
favorites Of the deceased. The pastor
was assisted in the services by the
Revs. E. T. Hodges, Of the hetho-
dist Church; J. H. Bouldridge, Of the
Baptist Church, at Lancaster, who
for eight years, served the Batesburg
Baptist, and n. n. Burton, now re-
tired, but for many years the pastor
Of the Batesburg Baptist Church.
The opening prayer, which was
most appropriate, was made by Mr..
Hodges. Mr.. Boldridge made brief
remarks which were forceful, thought
full and appropriate to the occasion.
The funeral eulogy, as it may be best
termed, was delivered by Mr.. Burton.
Elcquently he dealt with the life of
"X" Gunter from the days Of child
hood, and his remarks were Of such
character as to bring tears to the
eyes Of many.
