December 2 when the news reached here that George Coleman
Foxworth had passed away at the Florence infirmary after a
long illness following an operation. He was 15 years and ten
months of age and in the bloom of young manhood. He was a
genial favorite among his teachers, classmates and Boy Scouts
of which he was a loyal member. He was a faithful member of
the Methodist church, Sunday school and Epworth league of
Timmonsville and was never happier than when serving these
organizations in a manner unusual to one of his tender age. He
was a bright, lovable and intelligent boy and true to his
obligations. He was the only son of Mr. And Mrs. George W.
Foxworth. His remains were brought to Georgetown the following
day and the funeral was conducted at Duncan Memorial church by
his pastor, the Rev. W. R. Phillips of Timmonsville. He and
his family were faithful members of this church until a few
years ago when they moved to Timmonsville.
The services were concluded
at Elmwood cemetery and the body laid to rest in the presence
of many sorrowing relatives and friends.
The many floral offerings
showed the love and high esteem in which he was
held.
He leaves a devoted mother
and father and one sister of Timmonsville, his grandmother and
grandfather and several aunts and uncles to mourn his death.
