A SAD. DEATH.
Barnberg MOurns the Loss of One Of
Her Best Young Men.


when it became known that Mr.. Henri
H. Copeland, eldest son of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. D. Copeland, and one of the
most highly respected and generally
beloved young men of this city, had
passed away about eight o'clock that
morning. Mr.. Copeland had been
sick for about a week with pneu-
monia, and while he had been seri-
ously i'll practically from the time
he was stricken, he had made gal
lant fight and his many friends hoped
and prayed that he would recover.
He was doing as well as possible,
considering his serious condition, but
he grew rapidly worse early Monday
morning until the end came.
The burial took place Tuesday
afternoon at $3.50 O'Clock at Rest
land cemetery, the services being
attended by one of the largest crowds
ever seen there. Services were con-
Quoted at the home by Revs. w. H.
Hodges and w. R. Mcmillan, and
were concluded at the grave by these
ministers. Several vocal selections
were. rendered by the Apollo Music
Club at the home and also at the
grave.
+, The pail bearers were: Honor
ary-Dr. ]. J. Cleckley, R. Boyd Cole,
of BarnwelI, G. Frank Bamberg, Maj.
Havelock Eaves, of Orangeburg, al.

Eaves, H. w. Johnson, H. ]. Brab-
ham, ]. w. Price, and c. R. Brab-
ham, Jr.
The grave was literally banked
with flowers, the floral offerings being
unusually numerous and bautiful, in
fact never have we seen a loyelier'
collection, all testifying to sne love
and esteem of his friends.
Mr.. Copeland was thirty-thsee
years old, and was born in Bamberg,
where he lived all his life. He at
tended the schools in Bamberg, later
going to the Citadel in Charleston:
He entered business here with his
father, and was known as one OF the
most progressive and popular young ,
business men of the city. In 1905
he was married to Miss Helen Ham,
mond, of Augusta, Ga, and she vita
one little daughter, Sara, survive him.
He has served the town and conf
munity in many public capacities,
being member of city council few.
years ago and member of the board
of health at the time of his death.
Hewas always willing and ready to do
his share of public, service and to as
sist in any enterprise for the upbuild-
ing of the town and community. yet
he was modest and unassuning and !.
never sought any public honor. All
these came without any. effort on his
part. but because of his welI-knoWn
sterling qualities as a man and 8elti-;
zen.
His untimely death is peculiarly
sad, and the whole town Will miss
him. It is only simple truth to say
that no man here was more univers-.s
ly popular with all classes nor mad
more genuine friends than Henri.
Copeland, and we can i'll afford to lose
those of his calibre. a5lsy 4
