terms of the record as a neighbor
and friend, a father and church
member, which Mr.. DeLoach had
made. He spoke of the interest he had
taken in the rebuilding of the new
Baptist church and of his generous
aid in that direction, having moved
his membership from the Trenton
church within recent months.
The home was filled with friends
and relatives, an unusual number,
and there was much sympathy
manifested for the bereaved widow
and the four children, three daugh-
ters, Emmie, Alma and Mary, and
the son, Manly, just nine years Of
age.
The parents Capt. and Mrs. I.
B. Martin, of Spartanburg and Mrs.
DeLoach's son, Thomas NJ. Bomar
were present at the funeral.
The remains were laid to rest in
the family burying ground where
all his departed family lie buried.
Many beautiful flowers were tokens
of the esteem in which he was held.
