Memorial services for the late Will
liam r. Rhame were held i'm Wash
ington Street Baptist church sun
day morning. The congregation was
large. but would have been larger
had II been publicly known that tSis
service would be held. Ii was sing
ularly appropriate i'm view of the de-
ceased's long life of service i'm his
community and church and i'm view
of the great love felt for him by his
church. 1t was but the expression Of
common sorrow on common loss.
IL was hard to realize that w. r..
Rhame was really dead-so long had
he been identified with all the SER
vices Of the church.
Fitting tributes were paid by Mr..
Joel r. Brunson. Mr.. II. |. Manning
and the pastor of the church. Mr.
i'runson spoke out of an intimate ac-
quaintance of many years. He told of
MIR. Rhame's active interest i'm the
cause of temperance years ago and of
his interest in church work in more
recent years. Mr.. Brunson's tribute
was especially appropriate. He spoke
as friend grieved at the departure
of a friend.
MI. Manning spoke more particul-
arly of Mr.. Rhame as he had come
to value him from a long acquaint-
ance in the Bank Of Sumter. Every
word he said came fresh from his
heart. lie spoke Of Mr.. Rhame's
sterling honesty and wisdom, of how
much he had been worth to the Bank
of Sumter and of how much he would
be missed. His personal allusions
We're very tender. He had lost a
friend.
The pastor spoke of Mr.. Thames
faithfulness to his church and pastor.
of his loss for his church and of his
lie Of service. How much he would
he missed
The service throughout was deeply
impressive The speakers spoke with
great difficulty while tears flowed
freely. 1t was sacred hour that will
