William Porter Danner
"Calm the good man meets his fate:
Guards celestial round him wait."
Died in Beaufort, Friday, November 11, 1904, William Potter Danner.
Mr. Danner was a native of Beaufort, as had been his family for generations before, and had been for 26 years up to a short while ago, one of our most active, progressive businessmen. He was for 26 years a partner in the dry goods firm of Wallace & Danner, and of late years had an interest in the grocery house of C. E. Danner & Co. In his business and personal relations he was deservedly highly thought of and in a matter of trade, the word of Porter Danner was binding as the bond of any other man. He was a loving son, a devoted husband and an affectionate father and was most considerate in all his dealing with his fellows. For the past year he had, from physical ailment, been forced to withdraw from active business, and surrounded with all that family and friends could do to alleviate his sufferings, he sank peacefully to rest. Mr. Danner left a widow, two daughters and a son, besides an aged mother to whom he had been a good son. All these and his brothers and sisters to whom he had taken the place almost of a father, have the warmest sympathy of sincere friends. The funeral services were held at St. Helena Church. Saturday afternoon and were conducted by Rev. W. L. Githens, the rector. In spite of the inclement weather and continued rain, a large number paid a last respect to the dead. The floral tribute were exquisite and abundant. The following gentlemen were the pallbearers: Messrs. W. P. Gibbes, J. M. Rhett, W. R. Bristol. C.K. Batenelder, D. W. Crocker and Thomas Talbird.
