HENRY WALTER WHARTON
Son of W.H. and I.E. WHARTON, was born October 7, 1879 and died
October 26, 1897. He was happily converted June 25, 1896.
There are few boys about whom can be said so much as can be
said about WALTER. From his very childhood he was quiet and
obedient. His fine character, lovable disposition won for him
the love of his companions and commanded the confidence and
esteem of all who knew him. He felt called to the ministry and
entered Wofford College, passed through his freshman class, but
during vacation was stricken with typhoid fever. All the
skillful physicians and devoted nurses could do for his
recovery was in vain.
He retained consciousness to the
last, bidding mother and loved ones adieu, and as the angels
took him by one hand, he stretched forth the other saying "
Good bye, Papa", and with this said, his pure spirit winged
its flight through the gates into the Paradise of God...Good bye
Walter.

P. C. WHEELER -
Another of our soldiers is gone. From this lower sphere of action
and perilous duties, he has gone to a world of rest above. We
allude to P.C. WHEELER, who was killed in the battle of
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The deceased was born in this
District, on the 15th January, 1839. He was a volunteer member
of 13th Regt., (Col O. E. Edwards’) and, at the time of his
death had been in laborious service for nearly two years. During his
camp life he maintained that exemplary, christian deportment
which he was so distinguished at home. A member of the Baptist
Church at Holly Springs, - he never threw off the armor of a
christian - nor by deed nor speech, in the slightest degree
tarnished the pious character he had assumed. Socially, he had
many attractive virtues - frank, generous, brave, and true; he
made a reliable friend and a superior soldier. The hopes of a
christian animated him in the battles of life as well as those of
the “tented field.” To the rest of the righteous he has
gone.2
