"Major Havelock Eaves, for the past 10 years a prominent citizen of this city, died last night at 8 o'clock in a hospital in Charlotte, N. C., where he went on March 22 for treatment. The cause of his death was an affection of the heart known as endocartis. [sic] His condition became critical a few days ago and he gradually grew worse until the end came last night.
"The deceased was. 51 years of age. He was born and reared in Bamberg where he served for a number of years as depot agent and telegraph operator. Ten years ago he accepted the position of sales manager of the Orange cotton mills here and continued in that position until his death.
"On November 19, 1898, he was married to Miss Eva Riley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Riley, formerly of Bamberg, but for some years past residents of this city. He is survived by his widow and the following brothers and sisters: A. J. Eaves, of New York City; D. M. Eaves, of Union, S. C.; Mrs. E. D. Rainev, of Beaufort; Mrs. Decania Dowling, of Charlotte, N. C.; and Miss Mary Ellen Eaves, teacher in the city schools of Columbia. Mrs. Eaves and other relatives were at the bedside of the deceased at the time of his death.
"Major Eaves was a graduate of the Citadel. He served with popularity and distinction as major of the second battalion of the Second South Carolina infantry regiment during the Spanish-American war and, during the stay of that organization in Cuba during that conflict. During the World War he served as chairman of the Orangeburg county Council of Defence and was very active in that capacity.
"He was president of the Orangeburg Shrine club, past exalted ruler of the Orangeburg Lodge B. P. O. Elks, a member of the Orangeburg Commandary of Masons, Petros Council of Masons, Shibboleth Lodge A. F. Masons and a member of the Knights of Pythias. He was also a member of the Orangeburg Presbyterian church.
"Major Eaves was well known as a citizen who contributed to the advancement of the community, being an active participant in affairs connected with the progress of this city and surrounding community. He was also prominent as a leader in affairs connected with the fraternal organizations to which he belonged. He was widely known not only in this community but throughout the state.
"Funeral services were held Saturday at midday at his late residence at 18 Orange court. Rev. J. L. McLees, pastor of the Presbyterian church of which the deceased was a member, officiated. The remains were laid to rest in Sunnyside cemetery, the grave being covered with many beautiful floral offerings, the the [sic] evidence of esteem in which this prominent citizen was held. Relatives and friends from other portions of this and other states attended the services.
"Members of the Knights Templars, in which order he was prominent, acted as an escort. Members of the various other fraternal organizations to which the deceased belonged attended in large numbers."
