During the days of reconstruction he
served two terms as School Commits
sioner for Oconee, and later served
n term as Representative for Oco-
nee In the Legislature. For nearly
nifty years he served the Richland
Presbyterian church as ruling elder.

Lost Cause and ranked among the
bravest Of South Cardinals noble
sons. His first wife was Miss Louisa

Ga. Mr.. Dendy leaves one brother,
Capt. S. X. Dendy, Of Walhalla. The
late S. p. Dendy and Thos. Fl. Dendy
were also brothers. He leaves two
sisters. Mrs. e. Il. Hughs, now SO
years old, and Mrs. e. r. Stribling,
so years old, both of Richland.
These three have spent all these years
here almost in sight Of each other,
and truly they have wrought well in
their long lives Of labor. The history
OF this section Is closely interviewer
with the deeds OF this trio for the
past half century. Mrs. Lou Ne
Vile, Of Atlanta, Is also a sister Of
the deceased. Mr.. Dendy was mar
ried in the early SOS to Mrs. Martha
Holley, nee Brooks.
M. b. Dendy was a man Of giant
intellect, wide reading and culture,
deep convictions, a fluent speaker
II clear %reasoner, and made himself
felt under all circumstances in
church and State. Truly another pu-
pil of the old school, a type Of the
Christian gentlemen and Of South
ern chivalry, has fallen, and we, with
a wide circle of relatives and friends
In northwestern South Carolina
deeply feel his death. A large num-
Der were present at the funeral,
which was at 1870 o'clock yesterday
at the Richland Presbyterian church.
