Mr. Boatwright was one of this county's most upright and reliable citizens and will be greatly missed. He was a valiant soldier in the Confederate army, and, although above the age of young manhood when the call was made for volunteers, he responded promptly and enlist in Company C, Second S.C. Rifles, Capt. O.M. Doyle, and served faithfully as long as his age and health would permit. The deceased has been a constant reader of the Keowee Courier since its inception.
