Departed this life at his residence in Lancaster District, on the 24th of August, after a protracted illness of many weeks, Mr. James T. Wade, Senior, in the 67th year of his age. The deceased was a native of Lancaster, but his parents during this childhood moved to Richland District, where he continued to reside until about 1846, when he returned with his family to this District to become a citizen thereof.
In his sickness, he suffered with patience and met death with resignation and submission. He frequently spoke of death, during his sickness, without dread or fear of the consequences, expressing his confidence in God as his creator, preserver, and redeemer.
Death was not unexpected to him. He had a presentiment of some evil to happen to him before he was sick. He told his wife that he had had a certain bad dream again, which caused him uneasiness. On a former occasion, it seems he had dreamed that his wife was separated from him, and immediately afterwards he heard of the death of an affectionate daughter, but then he dreamed that he was separated from his wife, and this he regarded as ominous of his own death.
Mr. Wade was one of the most valuable citizens of the District, remarkable for his private virtues, fulfilling well his relations as a social being. In the domestic circle, love, kindness, and humanity, springing from a heart all right, had become habitual with him. He was industrious, persevering and attentive to his business. He was not only a intelligent but a practical planter, taking great delight in the management of his plantation affairs. The cotton planters of this District are indebted to him, for the introduction of new and valuable seeds, and for much practical agricultural information and knowledge. He was no disciple of the dead weight school, but every improvement met with favor from him, and received his support after he had submitted it to test of experience and observation.
He has gone, leaving a desconsolate widow, and a most worthy and estimable family to mourn his loss, but there will live to survive him a character, and an example worthy of all imitation and long to be remembered. It may be said of him, which can be said of few only, that he was as good as he was great.
