Freedom" amid great enthusiasm,
after the city of Atchison had been
captured. At Atchison, Kans., Major
Gross cast his first vote for a Demo-
cratic President-one month after he
was 81 years Of age-and thus he
not only planted the Palmetto flag,
but he planted in his heart the true
love for Democracy, which he ever
afterwards cherished with fond men,
ory. Returning to South Carolina he
settled at Sumter, and for few years
before the war he pulled the bell cord
as conductor on the Wilmington and
Manchester road. At the outbreak of
the Civil War he enlisted in the
cause he believed to be right, and
through the four years Of heat, cold,
rain, sunshine, bullets and shell from
the enemy, and bloodshed, he was
true asd patriotic to the Confederate
army. While leader and command
er the ties of friendship to his COM
rades were sweet and binding, and
many were the soldiers who were al
ways delighted to see Major Cross at
the reunions. He was sergeant
major in Kershaw's Regiment, and
fired at Fort Sumter, near Charles
ton harbor, of which so many school
boys and girls have read in history.
He surrendered at Greensboro, N. c.
Major Cross was twice married. His
first wife was Miss Hortense e. Sim
gleton, daughter of Major William
Singleton, OF Sumter. She died in
Westminster January 2, 1888, and
was the mother of his four children
Mamie, wife Of Robt. p. Bradwell
Of Sumter; William s. Cross, Of Wal
halla; Singleton, wife Of G.. w. Kay,
Of the county, and Francis Marion
Cross, Of the firm of Cannon and
Cross, Westminster One daughter
Miss Alexia Cross, died in the bloom
Of young womanhood, November 80,
1887, and hers was the first body in
tered in the town Of Westminster
in the beautiful cemetery, now known
as Eastview.' His second wife was
Miss Melissa CASTOR, of Westminster,
who survives. He leaves fourteen
grandchildren. Major Cross moved
to Oconee county in 1871 and settled
on his farm, four miles below town.
He moved to town in the eighties.
He was identified with the business
enterprises in the early history Of
the town, and won success in busi-
ness life by sheer ability, starting as
a clerk. Side by side Major Cross
and Fl. B. Zimmerman 1abored be-
hind the counter for Zimmerman G.
Johns as the very first clerks Of the
town. He later connected himself
with II. f.. Mason In the mercantile,
guano and cotton buying business.
Later, he 0pened the first furniture

NEWS FROM WESTMINSTER.
Death of Major B. ". Cross-Capt.
Cheswell Retires Temporarily.
(By A. l.. Gossett.l

y (by "A. L. HOSSSII.'
o. Westminster, Dec. 8.-Special:
Major B. H. Cross, senior elder in
the Presbyterian church, ex-postmas-
ter Of Westminster, and an honored
citizen of the town, died at his home
on Luckie street on Friday afternoon,
December 4th, in the 74th year Of his
age. Death came at $50 after three
days of illness OF pneumonia. His
health had been failing for the past
year or so, but as he was able to be
in the streets the first of the past
week the announcement of his criti-
cal illness on Thursday and Friday
was q great shock to his friends. His
ageak physical condition and the sud-
xAen change in the temperature had
much to do in causing the disease to
prove fatal in bringing his life to a
close. Funeral services were held in
the Presbyterian church on Sunday,
December 9Th, at II a. m, and were
largely attended. Rev. J. J. Harrell,
of Woodruff, the retiring pastor, was
summoned back to Westminster to
pay the final tribute of love and re-
spect to his departed friend. Major
Cross was a high-toned, Christian
gentleman, a man of integrity, val
liant soldier of the Confederacy, a
gentleman of the old school, and hav-
ing won success in the battles of life,
his genial, sunshiny presence will be
sadly missed in the community,
among the old and young alike. He
was the type Of the true Southerner,
being hospitable, courteous and affa-
BILE. Besides that he was a scholarly
man, brilliant conversationalist,
and was so entertaining that he could
hold person spell-bound. He was
we'll informed on most any subject,
and retained remarkable vitality of
mind to the very last. Buckingham
Hanback, Cross was born in the city
OF Charleston on October 6, 1895,
and received good education in the
schools Of that CITY, He later at
tended the Arsenal at Columbia,
from which institution he was grad
uated before he reached mis- majority
The Arsenal was later moved to
Charleston, and Is now the Citadel
Academy. He went to the State of
Kansas soon after graduation, and
became engrossed In the struggling
conditions of that State. The Kan
sas war of 1856 is recalled by many
of the old men Of to-day. r. -. Nor

Cross in the struggles and difficulties
Of that war. While i'm Kansas Major
