Mr.. J. S. STAPP.
A Prominent, Esteemed Citizen Pays
The Debt Due From all the
Living.
INTERMEMT AT PROVIDENCE CHURCH.

Ou fdoI OuHudy dC lOuI u. H., NIL d.
S. Stapp, who had been lingering on the
border land of death for several weeks
yielded to the grim reaper, and his
spirit took its flight to the God who
gave it. The announcement of his
death was not surprise for his con-
dition was known to be serious.
In January he was stricken by par
alysis in one side and for three or four
weeks there was some hope of his re-
covery, but at that time he received the
second stroke, which showed plainly
that the end of his earthly career was
almost reached, and his death has been
expected ever since.
Apparently in the midst of good
health and in the prime of manhood he
was stricken IN the twinkling of an eye,
brought from the active stage of life to
helpless, hopeless condition to await
the summons which is in store for ALL
That he'was good citizen and a man
who had a strong hope and an abiding
faith in the precious promises, is not
questioned by those who intimately
knew him. A man of deep convictions,
steadfast in his conceptions of right and
unmovab)e in his devotion to principle
and friends, he had many who loved
and admired him.
He had been unusually successful in
business for man in this section of
country and had accumulated good
estate, but no man in all the country
was more generous to the poor or to
religious or educational causes. A man
of means, he was man of sympathy
and that kind that proved it by works.
To recount his many generous acts in
relieving distress, in gladdening the
hearts of the disconsolate and in ad-
vancing religious and educational work
is not within our reach, but he was far
more generous and more thoughtful
than millions of his fellows who have
been equally blessed.
In justice to his memory we can say
that he was true to friend and open
with a foe, jealous to his convictions
and firm in any cause he espoused.
He was in his forty-sixth year of life.
member of the Providence Baptist
church which was almost the idol of his
existence, he having built and equipped
it. He left ample evidence with those
associated with him that death was not
a terror and that he was ready and
willing to go. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. w. B. Cave in
the Providence church, crowded to it's
full capacity, with friends throughout
the county who were there to witness
the last sad rites. The body was bur.
led near the church which he had
built and the beautiful flowers placed
on the mound indicates his resting
place and tribute of love and esteem.
To his sorrowing wife, three sons and
two daughters The News joins their
many friends in extending sympathy.
AS owner and proprietor Of the Co.
lumbia Spectator he was an agreeable
opponent and never at any time cross
ed the boundary line in business meth
DDS that would mar pleasant relations
between the two Offices. Having in
terests in various sections of the
country he was busy man all the
while. In connection with his sons he
was engaged in the livery business in
this town which the young men
are left to conduct.
