Our. little village and whole COM
munity was grieved and saddened
by the death of Mr.. S. II. Crowell.
Wednesday at the Charlotte SAM
forum hospital at 1880 o'clock
Mr.. Crowell was native of South
Carolina. being born in Camden. De-
eember II. 1872. He came to North
Carolina when he was quite young.
Mr.. Crowell was twice married:
First to Miss Daisy Gender and to
this union was born one son, Mr.
Burdett Crowell who survives his
father. After the death of his first
wife Mr.. Crowell was united in Mar
riage a second time to Miss Sarah
Davis, who with seven children sur
wives, namely: Misses Annie, Katie,
Alice, and Martha Crowell, and two
sons, Clayton and Sammie Crowell
He is also survived by two brothers
and one sister, Messrs. A. and A.
l.. Crowell and Mrs. d. t. Morris.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev. Mr.. Vestal, his pastor,
assisted by Rev. Mr. Latham, at the
home church. here Thursday morn
ing at 1000 O'Clock. and the inter
ment was at Mint Hill the family
burying ground The casket was
completely covered with the most
beautiful garlands of flowers that
could be found.
About week ago Mr.. Crowell got
worse and went TO Charlotte to the
hospital and the doctors examined
him and found that he had cancer of
the stomach and liver. They told
him that without an operation he
could not live but a few days, and
with an operation he had one chance
out of hundred. He came back
home then but decided last week to
go back. So on Tuesday they at
tempted the operation but the case
was hopeless He began to go gradu-
ally away under the ether and the
operation was stopped. He was in
an unconscious condition from Tues
day until Wednesday morning when
he came TO. and called for all of his
children, his devoted wife being with
him all the time.
The death angel came Wednesday
at 1880 o'clock and called the good
husband and father to meet the holy
father in heaven.
There is vaciency in the home
that can only be filled by the hand
of him that doeth all things well.
Not only in the home but in this COM
munity that vacant place will not and
cannot be filled with a man like Mr..
Crowell was. He lived above re-
proach and lived for his family and
neighbors. When the Methodist
church was built here Mr.. Crowell
almost erected II himself. He was a
faithful member of the Methodist
church from young man. The
church loses one of its best and most
generous supporters in the death of
Mr.. Crowell. He will be greatly mis-
sed as business man as he was a
man capable of doing business. The
choicest words of a poet are not suf-
fcient to picture the life of our de-
ceased friend The bereaved and
heart-broken family have the kindest
sympathy of this whole community
in this hour of bereavement and sor-
row. It is a great shock TO the moth
er and family, but may the omni-
potent hand of God comfort them as
no earthly hand can do. Mr. Crowell
gave to each of the family a token by
which to remember him.
We have lost citizen that we are
deeply grieved to part with, but God
doeth all things we'll The pail bear
ers were Messrs. F. X. Tomberlin,

May Gods richest blessings rest
upon the family in their sorrow
