for more'n year" he added, "and
not as dense as this for morn'n

The fog was most evident at mid,
night when but few wayfarers were
about. 1t broke early in the morn

ing to late reports no husbands were
reported missing to the police How

The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1918-10-31

Last Friday was probably the sad
dest day in the history of Bamberg.
On that day the body of DR.. J. j..
Cleckley was laid to rest in Southend
cemetery. Hardly had the grave been
filled when the spirit of DR.. Charles
F. Black departed to answer the
summons of the Maker. The town
sustained a loss which is almost ir-
reparable, especially at this time of
distress at home and abroad. Both
men were in the prime of life, young
men with their life work before
them. Deeply implanted in the
hearts of their many friends is the
memory of these Christian doctors.
They died in the discharge. of their
professional duty at a time when ex-
posture meant danger, but this did
not deter them from the performance
of their duty. When the ravages
of the influenza epidemic called,
these martyred physicians answered
unselifishly without thought of dan
ger to self. That their lives should
be the price Of their answering the
call to alleviate the suffering of the
people is a matter of deep and dis
tressing sorrow, and yet it is a mag
nifcent thought that n should lay
down his life that others might live.
Loving hands did all that could be
done to stay the hand of the grim
reaper, and loving hearts will ever
cherish the memory of these lives
sacrificed to the cause of humanity.

The Old Hickory division-the
3Oth-is the body of Americans who
first broke the Hindenburg line on
the Western front. This is a source
of great pride and satisfaction to
quite a number of Bamberg families,
who have sons or brothers in this di-
vision. Claud Smoak, Leighton
Rentz, William Hutto, and possibly
many others from Bamberg and vi
cinity are sharing in the glory of this
division, which is made up of national
guardsmen from the States of North
Carolina, South Carolina and Ten
nessee. South Carolina has taken a
leading part in every great move
ment in the history of America, and
she has done so in this war, for the
Old Hickory division has won the un-
stinted praise of Gen. Foch and other
great generals, and the division is
composed largely of South Carolina
boys.
