Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 26. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), Charles Jones Colcock. (search)
shing capital to meet these new conditions, sea island planting was largely deferred. He moved his family to Savannah, Ga., and engaged in the life-insurance business, for which he was well qualified. He finally made his home in Hampton county, and planted short staple cotton with some measure of success in difficult times. This too imperfect tribute of respect is finished. Would it were worthier. I could do no less in memory of one gone before, who filled my eye in early life as a public-spirited, forceful citizen, and later a gallant soldier. It had been my privilege to know him, to feel the radiant atmosphere which habitual courtesy and sparkling conversation generated around him, and when the sad news of his death came to me I realized that a kind, hopeful and brave spirit had passed from earthly view, which for so many years had shone conspicuously, as well in the sweet amenities as in the stern realities of life! William A. Courtenay. Innisfallen, October 22, 1898.
