-Fort Mill, Dec. 12 – The entire community was shocked Saturday afternoon at the announcement of the sudden death of Charles P. Blankenship at his home in Gold Hill, a few miles north of Fort Mill. He, with several members of his family was preparing to come to Fort Mill in his car, and he had gone on an errand to the barn before proceeding. As his return was delayed, investigation was made, and he was found unconscious, death coming a short while after.
-He was one of the best known and most successful farmers of Fort Mill township, and his cheerful good nature made him most popular with all classes, among whom he had many very close and faithful friends. He would have been 62 years old had he lived until February 21, 1922, and is survived by a large connection.
-He was ever a public spirited man, devoted to the good of his community, and interested definitely in every forward movement. He has served the township as superivsor for several terms, and was an efficient and faithful officer.
-His remains were interred in Flint Hill Baptist churchyard after funeral services conducted by the Rev. J. R. Smith, pastor of Flint Hill Baptist church, of which he was a member, assisted by the Rev. J. P. Tucker, pastor of the First Baptist church of Rock Hill Monday afternoon.
