Civil War Veteran. PVT. Co H Orr's reg. of Rifles 1st SC.

The Dillon Herald -- Jan. 25, 1917

One of County's oldest and staunchest citizens passes away.

When death claimed Mr. Jno C. McEachern on the 13th instant, the county lost one of its most substantial and valuable citizens. Mr. McEachern had long since passed his allotted three-score-and-ten, but had enjoyed good health until about three years ago when he was stricken with paralysis. Since then he had been able to visit Dillon only at rae intervals, but he was always gladly welcomed here where he had many friends among both young and old.

Mr. McEachern was descended from sturdy Scotch stock and he inherited many of the strong traits of character for which this distinct race of people is famous. Possessed a deep sense of honor and in all of his transactions his word was as good as his bond. The major portion of his life was spent on his farm ear Hamer where he lived quietly, enjoying the fruits of his labor and contribution freely toward the support of the church and the other religious organizations of his community. He was one of the solid citizens of the Hamer section and although he had long since given up the active affairs of life, he will be greatly missed not only in the home but in the church and in the community where he was a tower of strength.

MR. McEachern is survived by his wife and a son and daughter, Mr. J.A. McEachern and Miss Katherine McEachern, both of the Hamer section, who with hosts of friends both young and old mourn his passing.
