PAUL BROWNLOW
GOES TO MAKER
POPULAR YOUNG MAN PASSED
AWAY THIS MORNING AT MT.
PLEASANT.

Paul Brownlow, after a lingering
illness of several months, died at the
home of his father, John Brownlow,
at Mt Pleasant Thursday morning at
4 o'clock.
The death of Paul Brownlow Is pc
culiarly sad. Just in the bloom of
young manhood, facing career that
was unusually bright, married only q
few months, and with bright future
before him, death came to him just
as he had passed the twenty-sixth
milestone.
Mr.. Brownlow was born in 1888.
He graduated from the Columbia Mil
itary Academy and in the fall there
after went to Vanderbilt University,
where he spent two years in the
academic department He then re-
turned to Columbia and was for some
time connected with Evans, Parker &
Moore, later accepting a position
with the Stern Clothing Co., of Ro-
chester On Dec. 10, 1918, he was
married to Miss Matte Williamson.
Previous to his wedding, he was oper-
ated on for appendicitis, and from it
he never recovered. He was able to
make one~or two trips on the road,
but in the early part of this year his
health gave down absolutely and he
was forced to take to his bed. In the
hope of restoring his health, he went
to Asheville this summer but he re-
ceived no relief and had to be
brought home. Gradually he grew
worse until within the past few days
his condition was critical. The end
came Thursday morning shortly after
o'clock.
Paul Brownlow was of a loveable,
amiable disposition, which made for
him friends wherever he went. Cen
erous, kind, hospitable, courteous, it
Is pity that such life should come
to an untimely end so soon.
The body will be brought to Column
bia tomorrow afternoon on the 1:2O
train. 1t will then be carried to the
First Presbyterian church, where the
funeral services will be conducted at
