The
State December 13, 1921
Fort Mill, Dec. 12 – The
entire community was shocked Saturday afternoon at the announcement
of the sudden death of Charles P. Blankenship
at his home in Gold Hill, a few miles north of Fort Mill. He, with
several members of his family was preparing to come to Fort Mill in
his car, and he had gone on an errand to the barn before proceeding.
As his return was delayed, investigation was made, and he was found
unconscious, death coming a short while after.
He was one of the best known and
most successful farmers of Fort Mill township, and his cheerful good
nature made him most popular with all classes, among whom he had
many very close and faithful friends. He would have been 62 years
old had he lived until February 21, 1922, and is survived by a large
connection.
He was ever a public spirited
man, devoted to the good of his community, and interested definitely
in every forward movement. He has served the township as superivsor
for several terms, and was an efficient and faithful
officer.
His remains were interred in
Flint Hill Baptist churchyard after funeral services conducted by
the Rev. J. R. Smith, pastor of Flint Hill Baptist church, of which
he was a member, assisted by the Rev. J. P. Tucker, pastor of the
First Baptist church of Rock Hill Monday
afternoon.
Rock
Hill, Dec. 12 – The community was grieved to hear of the
sudden death by apoplexy of Mrs. E. L. Garison of
this city Monday morning of last week. Mrs. Garison had gone into
the house to write a check for a man who had just finished some work
for her. Hearing something fall, followed by a mourn, and receiving
no answer upon calling, the man rushed into the house to find her
lying upon the floor. He immediately summoned aid but she lived only
a few minutes afterwards.
Mrs. Garison, before her
marriage, was Miss Mamie Rosborough, the youngest daughter of Rovert
Arthur and Anne Caroline Rosborough. She was born May 30, 1862, near
Ridgeway. She was descended from a line of Scotch-Irish who
immigrated to South Carolina in 1775 from County Antrim, Ireland,
and who prided themselves upon their large plantations in Fairfield
county. She received her early education in private schools in
Fairfield county, but on account of the strenuous conditions
existing during the reconstruction period, she never attended
college. In 1889 she was married to Edward Leon Garison of Rock
Hill. In 1895 they moved to Rock Hill from Ridgeway, in order to be
near good schools for the education for their children. Several
years later they moved into their present home on Park
avenue.
Mrs. Garison's life was one of
service for others and her presence will be sorely missed by all who
knew her.
The funeral services were
conducted from the house by the Rev. John Bailey and the Rev. Mrs.
Swann. The interment was in Ebenezer Presbyterian cemetery, of which
church she was a devoted member.
Surviving her are her husband,
one brother, R. R. Rosborough of York, Pa., and the following
children: A. Caroline Garison, Bessie L. Garison, Tinnie Rosborough
Garison, Peter B. Garison of Strassburg, Pa., Mary E. Garison and
Robert R. and Ben Team Garison of the United States navy. (The State
December 13, 1921)
