Coroner James H. Zeigler, fondly known to hundreds of friends as "Uncle Jim," is no more. Uncle Jim passed to eternal rest early Friday morning. He had been in ill health for several years, but his last illness began in February. With the exception of a few occasions, Mr. Zeigler has been unable to leave his home since. The remains were interred Friday afternoon at Bethesda church in the presence of a concourse of friends and relatives. The funeral services were conducted by the pastor of the deceased. Rev. S. O. Cantey, assisted by the Bamberg Baptist pastor, Rev. O. B. Falls.
Mr. Zeigler is survived by his widow; one sister, Mrs. Ellen Mitchell, of Bamberg; one brother, J. W. Zeigler, of Hunter's Chapel, and three children: Mrs. N. J. Hayes, of Brooker, Fla., and Edward Zeigler and William C. Zeigler, of Bamberg. In the death of Coroner Zeigler, Camp Jenkins, No. 627, U. C. V., loses another member. Mr. Zeigler served three years in the army of the Confederacy. He was severely wounded in the shoulder during the American civil strife. He never ceased to take an interest in the affairs of the veterans' organization, and as long as his bodily strength permitted he attended all meetings and keenly enjoyed them. Although the war ended more than a half century ago, his memory was ever fresh and many veterans' meetings were characterized by Mr. Zeigler calling the roll of his company always by memory.
He was a valiant soldier, and was highly respected by his fellow veterans. Mr. Zeigler was born near the place now owned by J. A. J. Rice, a few miles from Bamberg, and has lived here all of the 77 years of his life. He rounded out the 77th year of his age on October 29th. The deceased was twice married; first to Miss Laura Thomas, of Colleton county, who died nearly forty years ago. A few years later he was married to Miss Elizabeth Carter, of Ehrhardt, who survives him. All of his surviving children were born of his first marriage; several children by his second marriage are all dead. Nineteen years ago he was elected coroner of Bamberg county, and he held this office continuously until his death. For many years he was chairman of the local pension board. Uncle Jim was a devoted member of the Trinity Methodist church. He was a conscientious Christian gentleman, and a big hearted, loyal citizen. He was held in the highest esteem by everybody, and was known to the older people thoughout this section.
The following gentlemen were requested to act as pallbearers: Active: H. C. Folk, A. L. Kirkland, W. E. Free, D. W. Phillips, J. D. Utsey, D. J. Delk, John Cooner, C. W. Rentz, Sr., F. O. Brabham, N.
