NJ MA.(Buzz) Moye
.DiedLast Thursday

Bamberg lost one of its staunch
friends and old time citizens last
Thursday when Malcolm Allen Moye,
pioneer in this section, passed away
| at his home in Fairfax. Mr. Moyes S
| health had not been good for some
time, and for several weeks prior to
his death he had been seriously i'll;
| however, he had apparently improved
some, and it was thought that in spite
of his feeble condition and advanced
age he would overcome this immed-
date attack and again greet his
friends who were legion with his
| usual smile, but the day before his
death a relapse set in, and while
those in position to know realized
then that the end was probably near,
his passing was shock to numberless
friends here who after hearing the
previous encouraging reports from
his bedside had hoped to see him
with us again soon.
The deceased was Is years aid and
practically that entire time had been
lived in this part of South Carolina.
| The early part of his life was spent
| mostly in Bamberg where he was
| universally loved and respected;
when the name of 'Buzz" Moye was
mentioned in Bamberg a kind word
or one of honor and admiration fol-
lowed it. He did his bit for the ''Lost
| Cause" being a gallant follower Of
| Lee and Jackson through the intrepid
days of 1861-65, and like the others
he had ever remained loyal veter-
an and true believer in the righteous
ness of the cause for which he staked
| his life. His was a familiar face at
| the annual Rivers Bridge memorial
and other gatherings of the heroes
of the gray whose ranks, alas, are so
fast thinning.
Mr.. Moye moved to Fairfax a num-
Der of years ago, but up to the time
his health failed him he was fire.
| quent and most welcome visitor to
his old home here. His life was not
spent in vain, and in his death he has
| left to those surviving near and dear
| to him priceless heritage Of rugged
honesty, true virtue, Christian char
acter. From boyhood he had been a
| devoted member Of the Baptist
church and constant attendant upon
services. Mr.. Moye had been married
three times, his first wife being Miss
Sallie A. Brabham, sister of G. r.
| Bra bham, Sr., of this city. To this
| union there were born five children,
two of whom preceded their father
to the grave. And this wife died 35
| years ago. He was later married to
the widow of the Rev. James Buist,
a noted Baptist divine here, and she
also passed to the great beyond
ahead of him; and then Mr.. Moye
| married Mrs. Stokes, who was with
| him at the time of his death. There
were no children by the last two mar
riages.
The interment took place at Rest
land cemetery in this city Friday al
ternoon, many mourners coming from
Fairfax, and a large crowd of sur
rounding neighbors and friends from
here and elsewhere being present to
pay their last tribute Of respect and
love. The floral offerings were very
handsome. The services at the grave
were conducted by his own pastor,
the Rev. Mr.. White, of the Fairfax
Baptist church, assisted by Rev. S. o.
Cantey, pastor of Trinity Methodist
church, of this city. Besides Mrs.
Moye the deceased leaves the follow
ing children: J. c. and F. M. Moye,
of this city, and M. A. Moye, Of Char
lesion, in addition to a host of other
relatives.
