REV. 0. J. COPELAND is DEAD.
Well Known Baptist Preacher Dies
at Asheville After Long Illness.
(Anderson Mail, 22dD

The people of Anderson county
will be distressed on learning of the
death Of rev. Q. j. Copeland, ID. D.,
which occurred in Asheville, n. c.,
early this morning. He contracted
tuberculosis several years ago, which
forced him to retire from his work
and go to ASheville, hoping that the
change Of climate would be beneficial.
He had been growing weaker and
weaker for several weeks. and his
friends and members of the family
were prepared for the announcement
of his death.
Dr.. Copeland was the son of ]. ].
Copeland and was born near Ched-
dar, Anderson county. He entered
the Baptist ministry when quite a
young man and was pastor of several
Anderson county churches. He was
pastor Of Hopewell, Neal Creek, Mt.
Bethel and Oakdale churches. From
Anderson he went to Waynesboro,
Ga, to become pastor of a large con-
gregatiOn. During his pastorate
there he caused the erection Of
handsome church building, which
now compares with some Of the best
in Georgia. From Waynesboro Dr..
Copeland went to the Jackson Hill
church in Atlanta, and then to
Gainesville, Ga. The handsome
stone church at Gainesville, costing
approximately 100000, was built
while he was pastor there. and the
success of raising the funds for the
building is largely attributed to his
efforts.
While at Gainesville Mercer Uni
versity conferred the degree Of doc
tor of divinity upon DR.. Copeland and
he was elected a trustee Of the uni
versity.
Because Of failing health. although
still young man, DR.. Copeland re-
tired from the ministry two or three
years ago and secured employment
as industrial agent of the Piedmont
and Northern lines. He was a man
of wonderful business ability and of
strong personality. He had decided
views on every matter that came be-
fore him, and while the people, all
OF them, did not always agree with
him they could not help but admire
him.
DR.. Copeland was about 40 years
Of age and was married, his wife be-
ing before her marriage Miss Elma
Clinkscales. daughter of NJ. b. Clnk-
scales, Of Due West. She and two
children survive him. One child
died while Dr.. Copeland was living
ia Gainesville.
The funeral services will be held
Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock at
Gainesville. Ga, and interment will
be in that city. Rev. O. l.. Martin,
Of Anderson, will be in charge Of the
funeral services.

DR.. Copeland was we'll and favor
ably known in Walhalla, where on
several Drcasions he conducted SER
vices at he Baptist church, and on
one occasion conducted a wonderful
revival at that church. Mrs. A. Lu-
ther Ellison, of near town, is a sis
ter Of the deceased. Many friends
join The Courier in extending SYM

DEATH OF DIR. w. T. HUNT.
Was Married Two Weeks Before His
Death-Engaged for 2I5 Years.
(Anderson Mail, 22dD

-
DR.. w. T. Hunt, formerly Of Town
vile, died at Z o'clock at the Ander-
son County Hospital Monday evening.
DR.. Hunt had been in a critical condi-
tlon for the past three months, and
his death was the final result Of
Bright's disease.
DR.. Hunt was born in Hona Path
o2 years ago. He lived in the Bal
kers' Creek section until he was some
II years of age, and then went to
the University Of Georgia, where he
attained his degree. He graduated
in Augusta, Ga, in 1890.
After his graduation DR.. Hunt
moved to Townville, and UractiCed
medicine there for p years. He was
a highly respectable citizen. and the
people of the community all loved
him. He was the only doctor at
Townville for many years, and his
name was the by-word Of the entire
section.
DR.. Hunt had two sisters and one
brother-E. w. Hunt, Of Abbeville.
and Mesdames e. u. Seymour and
Thomas Cromer, of Greenwood
Two weeks ago Dr.. Hunt was mar
ried to Miss Sallie McCarley. of
Townville. The marriage was the ter
mination Of 25-year-old romance.
DR.. Hunt was engaged to Miss Nc
Carley shortly after he settled at
Townville, and he said that until the
date Of his wedding he had ALWAYS
wanted and intended marrying Miss
McCarley, but had never been in a
condition to do so.
When he realized that he was dy-
ing, and that he had never married
the woman Of his choice, and that she
had waited for him all these years,
DR.. Hunt determined that, the bride
being willing, the ceremony should
take place, and that he should finally
marry the woman Of his choice.
In his own words, DR.. Hunt en-
pressed it: Il think that it is only
right that now. when my liie is al
most gone, | should marry the one
woman to whom have been en-
gagged all these years. and leave her
my property"
The marriage was solemniZed in
the Anderson County Hospital ex-
actly two weeks ago, and was one Of
the saddest sights that the hospital
has ever witnessed. The groom.
usually the brightest member Of a
bridal party), was fiat of his back.
and hardly able to utter the words
that made him a husband, and the
bride, after waiting for her groom
for quarter Of a century, was mar
rying him with a certain knowledge
that his life would not last more than
month. Such a spectacle is very
rarely witnessed.
The bride stayed with her hus-
band until the end, and her tender
care probably made the last DAYS of
the old doctors life happy, even
though his condition was very low.
The very best of medical assist
ance was rendered DR.. Hunt. He
went to Johns-Hopkins Hospital in
baltimore during the past summer
and stayed there for three months.
Only short time ago the authorities
at the hospital sent a message to his
local physician that his life could
only last short time, and that as
far as medical aid went. nothing
could be done for him.
In slow dying condition for one
year, DR.. Hunt married within the
last month OF his life. The body was
taken to Townville Tuesday morning
and the funeral was held in the after
noon at that place.
