Obituary
Keowee Courier Dec. 5, 1900
Mr. Abner Boatwright died at his home on Tugaloo River one day last week, aged about 100
years and no doubt was the oldest man in Oconee county. 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. Mr.
Boatwright leave a wife and two children to mourn his death. His remains were laid to rest in
the family burying ground on his farm. The sorrowing relatives have the sympathy of many
friends. "Requiescat in Peace."
