Dr A R Able Dies at St Matthews
St Matthews, May 14--Dr A R Able, a prominent citizen of this place, died this morning at 6 o'clock. For some time he had not been in robust health but until very recently had continued to go to his office. He was nearly 76 years old.
He was born July 2, 1850, in what was then the village of Edgefield and spent his early years there. In early namhood he moved to Lexington county, where he spent several years in the practice of medicine after graduating from the Medical college of the University of Georgia.
For the last 45 years he had lived at St Matthews and until very recently had been actively engaged in practice.
He was a faithful member of the St Matthews Baptist church and was for years clerk of the Lexington Baptist association and later of the Orangeburg Baptist association. For any years he was an active member of the local board of health and for more than 40 years he was secretary of the St Matthews Democratic club, which, at its last meeting about two weeks ago, adopted resolutions expressing appreciation of his services. He was a member of the Knights of Pythias and the Masonic order, being an ex-chancellor of the former and a past master of the latter.
Dr Able took a keen interest in education and for a number of years, was an active trustee of the local schools. Some years ago he was active in the organization of the West End cemetery and was the secretary and treasurer of the same until his death.
Dr Able loved his fellow man and was kindly and generous. He never grew old. In fact his friends were chiefly among those a generation younger in years than himself. Kindly and sympathetic, generous, an apostle of good cheer, he will be greatly missed by the whole community.
In early manhood he married Miss Elizabeth R??h, who died November 18, 1918. One son, Dr L M Able, also died before him. He leaves the following children: Eugene W Able, Saluda; Albert S Able, Charleston, Miss Lora R Able and Mrs L Harley Able of St Matthews, Miss Lucia ??? Able, Salisbury, NC, and the following grandchildren: Walter R Able and Lawrence M Able of St Matthews, Mrs Pauline Smith and Miss Lora B Able and Gay H Able of Durham, NC, Mrs Bettie Herlong of Florida and Eugene and Cornelia Able of Saluda.
Funeral services will be held at the St Matthews Baptist church at 11 am Saturday, with interment in West End cemetery.
