until his death, actively so until about
a year ago when his health failed. In

Miss Elizabeth E. Crawford, with
whom he lived happily until her death,
which occurred few months after re-
moving to Rock Hill. He is survived
by seven children-Mrs. D. c. Steven

time and heard the train behind COM
ing. He supposed that 33 was on a
siding, however, and thought nothing
Of the train laundering down towards
him until the crash came. He said
that he saw no misconduct In the be-
hayior Of the porters, who were said
to have looted a lady's valise, but on
the other hand that the employees
