    3. DUBOIS—Henry W. DuBois was born in upper Colleton county sixty-years ago; was educated at Kings Mountain military academy at Yorkville, was married in early life to Miss Katherine Rice, of Barnwell, pursued the life of a farmer for many years, later moved to Walterboro and was elected auditor of Colleton County, which position he capably filled until his death in October, 1911. Left to mourn his death is a devoted wife, and large family of sons and daughters. Brother DuBois will be remembered by his acquaintances, not because of his material successes so much as because of his spiritual achievements. He began his religious career at an early age and worked at it continuously, and earnestly, and by the grace ofGod succeeded at it, laying up for himself treasures in heaven. He was a staunch Methodist, attending upon its ordinances and supporting its institutions faithfully. But he was more than this—he was a devout Christian, living blamelessly, and leaving to his good wife and children a priceless heritage–a Christlike life. His taking away leaves a decided vacancy, not only in his home, but in the Church in Walterboro. He was a good steward. For years he served the Sunday school as its secretary and treasurer. His record of fidelity to his church and Sunday school will be an inspiration for years to come. H.J. Cauthen
