He was born in South Carolina. In early life he attached himself to the Presbyterian Church, and became a Sabbath School teacher. He was very strict in the observance of his Christian duties, and in the observance of all the ordinances of the church, until he moved to Georgia, which placed him beyond the reach of the church of his choice. But he continued to read his Bible, and was always delighted when conversing on the subject of religion, and in contributing to the support of the gospel and religious institutions, and continued advocating the cause of Sabbath Schools until his death. His regularity, promptness in attendance, his pleasantness when in School, won for him the esteem and confidence of all the School. Thus departed an affectionate father, a humane master, and an obliging, generous neighbor and citizen. Wm. W.
