Obituary:
"DARLINGTON - Roy Dudley Hatchell, 73, of Rt. 4, died late Tuesday evening in a Darlington Hospital after a short illness.
Funeral services will be conducted Thursday at 3 p.m. in Pine Grove Methodist Church by the Rev. Guy Mayor, and the Rev. R.N. Wells. Burial, directed by Belk-King Funeral Home, will be in Darlington Memory Gardens.
Pallbearers will be Otto Davis, Olin DuBose, Richard Brown, Bernice Brown, and Alvin Dewitt.
Mr. Hatchell was born in Darlington County, a son of the late George and Mattie Alexander Hatchell. A veteran of WW I, Mr. Hatchell was employed as a carpenter and a farmer before his retirement.
Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Ruth Norwood Hatchell; five sons, William Hatchell of Florence, Marvin Hatchell of Charlotte, N.C., Alvin Galloway of Perryville, Md., Ronald Allen Hatchell, and John Lowery both of Darlington. Five daughters, Mrs. Judy Andrews of Lamar, Mrs. Eunice Nivens of Nashville, Tenn., Mrs. June Martin, Mrs. Faye Adams, and Miss Marie Hatchell all of Darlington, a sister, Mrs. Maude Jordan of Darlington; three brothers, Ruff Hatchell of Columbia, Roger Hatchell of Roanoke, N.C., and Glen Hatchell of Timmonsville; 11 grandchildren and three great grandchildren."
I personally think that Roy's father's middle name was spelled Chappell, not Chapel, as it is on his grave marker. Sometimes people assume that someone's name is spelled like an object, as in a church's chapel. Chappell is a very common surname is the Darlington County area.
