death Loves a Shining Mark

The poet spoke truly when he
penned these words: "Death loves a
shining mark" Not only was the pass
ing away of our beloved young
friend, Dozier Lynch, last week a
striking instance of death cutting
down a young man on the Threshold
of a career of unusual promise, but
twice before in Edgefeld has this
statement of the poet been very strik-
ingly exemplifed. In connection with
Dozier Lynch, we refer to Thomas H.
Rainsford, Jr., and John G. Sheppard,
Jr., all contemporaries and about the
same age. Not since the writer has
been old enough to observe the af-
fairs of Edgefeld do we recall three
young men of such exceptional worth
as these. How often it is that young
men, whose parents, are abundantly
able and willing to give them every
possible educational advantage, fail
TO improve the golden opportunities
at hand. Not so with these. All three
were college bred men, completing
the full course with honors.
The first to be claimed by death
was Tom Rainsford who graduated
from the Citadel with honors. The
next claimed was John Sheppard, who
likewise was an honor graduate of
the University of South Carolina, and
the newly made mound in the village
cemetery marks the last resting place
gf Dozier Lynch, an honor graduate
of Davidson college, the last of this
trio of young men who, during their
short span reflected such great honor
upon Edgefeld. Truly, "Death loves
shining mark"
