Theodore Septimus Ileriot de parted this life in his 77t1) year, at Pearson, Coffee county, Ga., Oct. 22d, 1898, and his remains were interred by the side of his wife, in the Antioch church cemetery, four miles North of Leliaton, the next day. He was born of English parents March 17th, 1822, in Georgetown, S. C., but was reared in the city Charles ton. He received a liberal education, especially in civil engineering, that being the trend of his mind. Col. Heriot had a penchant for trav el and frequent change of place, and, ou leaving school, spent several years in the West and along the Mississippi river, visiting Bt. Louis, Memphis and New Orleans, returning to Charleston by way of Mobile and Pensacola. Arriving at home lie attached him self to the Engineer corps engaged in making the preliminary survey of the Atlantic and Gulf railroad (now the bavannah, Florida and and remained in the employ of the road until its competiou to Thoiuasville in 1860. It was during this service that lie met and married his wife, Miss Geor gia Ann, eldest daughter of David Al len, Esq., near Walthourville, in Liber ty county. They were married in 1859. Several children came to bless the union, of whom three sous—Clar ence, George and Benjamin—survive him, and are “worthy sons of a noble sire.” Col Heriot was also a member of the Engineer corps who surveyed and Completed the Macon and Brunswick railroad, (now a branch of the South ern). He also served through the civil war as a member ef aji engineer corps in the construction of Confeder ate fortifications. Upon the completion of the Bruns wick and Albany (now tho Brunswick and Western) railroad he moved with his family to Pearson and engaged in tho varied occupations of school teach cr, surveyor, justice of the peace aud lawyer, resorting to those means for a livelihood because of feeble health and the impoverished condition in which he was left by the result of the war. In these labors the true, noble character of the man, as a friend to those in dis tress aud needing assistance, were brought out in bold example before his associates and neighbors. None were turned aside without assistance and a word cf cheer. Many a raging, belligerent heart—ready to deal ven geance aud do mischief—have been calmed and softened by his intelligent foresight aud wise counsel. Col. Heriot joined the Missionary Baptist church in young manhood and for more than fifty years illustrated in a high degree tho truth and reality of the Christian religion. He was a dea con of the Leliaton Baptist church at time of his death, and was truly a beacon light in this destitute section for many years, when churches and church privileges were almost un known. lle was always in the front rank in the promotion of churches aud Sunday Schools, using all his talents to accept salvation in Jesus Christ. He was permitted in the providence of God to see the generations “rise up to call him blessed.” lie lived a life of spotless integrity, and the name of his friends in this section is legion. Ofliimitcan be truly said: “A good man has fallen,” but his works abide with us. B. T. All.n. Pearson, Ga , Nov. 14, 1898. —Photographer Moose has put up a brand new tent in Douglas.
