We chronicle today the not
uDexpected demise of Col. John
Shimpoch, Mt. Pleasant's most aged
and most conspicuous citizan. His
death occurred this (Fridaj) morn
ing at 15 minutes past six o'clock, .
Col. Shimpcch is well known .in
the county by all aged citizens.
His public career Has not been con
spicuous in the county within the
sphere of the younger generation.
He was magistrate for many )ears
before the war when more eminent
seryices and henor attached to the
office. Iq those days the subject
formed an efficient and active mem
ber of the court of Pleas and Quar
ter sessions, called the county court,
which disposed of cases of- less
gravity than required the skill of
the Superior court. ;
He represented the county in the.
Legislature in 1835 or there about
He took the title of Colonel from
the militia service then the exponent
of patriot; and chivalric pride He was
one of the founders of NorthCarolioa
College bni served in its board cf
directors through some of its sever
est crisis and resigned the presi
dency of the board to complete his
. retirement from public charges to
await the end of all liying beings
which was delayed beyond his own
expectation. He was no less a fac
tor in organizing -the Lutheran
church in Mt. Pleasant and of
building that neat and loyely sane
t;uary. No cause of Christianity,"
education or morality failed to inlist
his substantial support. .
He was successful in.hia business
- . . . V I
enterprises and was noted tor free-
dom from anything dilatory. In
his farming operations he - was al
ways ahead and apparently easy.
He gathered about him a sufficiency
of this world's goods and for many
years has seemed free from care in
that direction.
He married in his early manhood
Miss Elizabeth Barrier, of the well
known Barrier family in that com
munity by whom he was the ; father
of Mrs. L Q Heilig. Being bereft
of her by death, he found in Miss
Christina Miller a companion and
helper till the end of hi3 life. Bj
her he was the father of the late
Mrs. Capt. Cook and Mrs. A C Bar
rier, now the only living member of
his offsorinff. It was a source of
pleasure to mm in his latter jeers
to view around him, his hale,
sprightly and attractive, grand chil
dren. : , : '
Ths deceased was admonished
about two years ago that the begin
ning of the end of lite pad come
when he was stricken with paralysis
from which he was never again able
to walk alone. Recently other
strokes haye followed and the end to
which he looked with resignation
ana even cheerful expectation came
as above stated. He celebrated his
89 th birthday on -October the 7th
with his. interesting relatives about
- him. - . ; ' :
He will be buried Saturday in his
Lutheran cemetery lot. The f unera
service will be conducted.by Rev. M
m 'Q Scherer at 11 o'clock.
