It becomes our sad duty to have to chronicle the death of
another of our most valued and esteemed citizens. Robert T. Hawthorn, Sheriff of
this parish, died of Pneumonia, after an illness of 8 days, on Sunday the 7th
inst. Few men will be more universally regretted than Mr. Hawthorn. Prompt and
efficient in the discharge of the duties of his office, his courteous deportment
at all times, won the regard of those who were associated with him in business
relations. A trust-worthy friend, and a kind husband and father, his death will
leave a void in the community which will be hard to fill.
On Monday, at 3
o'clock P.M., the remains were taken in charge by the Winnsboro Grance, of which
deceased was a member, and deposited in the family grave yard 2 miles from town.
The solumn [sic] and impressive Funeral rites of the Order were performed by
Rev. A.W. Moore, Chaplain to the Grange, in presence of a large number of
mourning friends. We tender his sorrowing family our heartfelt sympathy in their
deep bereavement.
