The many friends here and
throughout the county, as well
as elsewhere, OF th4 Rev. Will
liam Cameron Ewart will be
shocked and grievod to hear of
his death, which occurred at his
home in Yorkville Monday night
about II o'clock. He was strick-

spend his summer vacation. He

For eleven years Mr.. Ewart
was the beloved pastor of the
shiloh A. r. Z. church in this
county, and for six years of that
period was also pastor cf the

residence here. About five
years ago he accepted a call to
Abbeyllle, removing from there
to Yorkville in January, 1904,
to accept the pastorate of the A.
K. z. church at that place.
MIR. Ewart was native of
Huntersville, N. G, and was
born Sept. 10, 1864. He was
graduate of Due West College
and Theological Seminary. He
was twice married. His first
wife, who was Miss Lucy Reed of
Abbeville county, died during
his pastorate here. His second
wife was Miss Alice Ross, daugh-
ter of the Rev. DR.. X. A. Ross
of York, who survives him, with
four children by the first mar

deared himself TO all of his con-
gregation, as we'll as to the pub.
