pIanss,. clsizen Lsmen.ea n death.

dElerton (Ga.) Star, March 14th.]
{ 10 the death of Capt. John Lee, at the
home Of his son, j. s. Lee, In Birming-
hhm, Ala, Thursday morning, March 7th,
the most unique character in the Lee
family Of upper South Carolina passed
away.
he was raised in the lap of luxury in
one of the leading aristocratic families of
/, upper South Carolina, which, before the
war, neither taught their soma the art of
business or work of any kind. But in
theScase of Capt. Lee he was taught the
arts and science of farming, though not
the art Of making and saving money, and
while he did not regain the wealth the
war swept from him, he raised q family
of boys who never failed TO keep his
pouch full of tobacco and his trunk full
OF good clothes. He has four sons and
tBo daughters, all Of whom survive him,
kis wife having preceded him 70 .ss
rave some fifteen years ago. She was q
Miss Bruce, cousin of r. r. s. Bruce, Of
Eberton.
sMr. Lee died at the home OF his son,
jas. Lee, in Birmingham, and was
buried beside his wife at Seneca, 8. O.
He was nearly 70 years old and had been
in feeble health for some time.
Among the fret young hot heade OF
South Carolina to volunteer for service
in. the Confederate army was john Lee,
who, for his bravery. was soon made cap-
tain of his company. No Confederate
soldier served moro faithfully or suffered
more than he, and none lived to relate
more thrilling adventures.
After the war he came to his home of
poverty instead of the homo Of luxury
that he left, but with the encouragement
of. devoted wife and dutiful children
his life has been spent in loving and
being loved in giving the best thought
and care to the education and training
: of his children, in whom he can feel his
efforts were we'll rewarded, for they are
Godly men and women.
Not only was the life of this excellent
man the source of the good that is to be
found in the lives of his children, but he
left an impress upon the minds aud
hearts Of many who felt the inspiration
for better deeds from association with
him. Especially among children were
his lovable traits of charaoter most mani
fest. Many hearts will be saddened
when they learn of his death.
AT the grave he was surrounded by a
large number of friends. Among his
relatives present were: William Lee,
Anderson, s. c.; Tom Harris. wife and
three sons, Fair Play, s. O.; d. II. Lee,
Atlanta, Ca; j. s. Lee, Birmingham,
Ala; Mrs. j. Fl. Sigh and Otto Sigh,
Red Hill, Ca, and w. L. Skelton, Elber-
ton, Ca.
