CARL A. HASWIN
A Resident of Holly Beach. Who Died in Texas
Last Week

The body of MI. Haswin arrived here on Monday from
Mineral Wells, Texas, and was viewed at his late residence
in Holly Beach on Monday evening. He was buried at
Court House on Tuesday with Masonic and Episcopal
church ceremonies, to which he both belonged. Thomas
Martindale also spoke at the grave.
Mr.. Haswin had been in failing health for several years
and spent the past winter in Florida. About a month be-
fore his death he went to Texas where he died on Tuesday,
April 20, 1910. His death was not looked for so soon and
it is said that the immediate cause was appendicitis. His
wife died two years ago. Mr.. Haswin was born in Prussia
and came to America when seven years Of age with his par
ents. They settled in Illinois and were people of consider
able means. His father was a merchant and farmer. Mr..
Haswin was educated in an Illinois University and studied
law and practiced awhile in Illinois. He developed extra
ordinary talent and was induced to go on the stage and
with his wife travelled and starred in the "Silver King a
popular play many years ago. Nj. Haswin came to Holly
Beach nearly IS years agox Since taking up his permanent
residence here about eight years 2g9 he devoted himself to
the cement business and was successful. He was about 90
years of age and was a man of varied talent, a good writer
and speaker and cultured. Mr.. Haswin was a man that
will be missed. He was a valuable member of the Boards
of Trade of the island, always alert and active in every task
assigned him, and very enthusiastic as well.
