Large Funeral
One of the largest funeral corteges ever seen in this section was that on yesterday that followed the remains of Mr William Lott from his country home to his last resting place in the old family burying ground.
Mr Lott was stricken about a month ago with paralysis, and the disease and nature have had a hard fight an in the end of the great conflict which came at 9 o'clock Sunday even ing, the disease came out conqueror and the long useful life was at end.
Mr Lott was one of our most prosperous planters and spent all his life in this vicinity, having nearly reached his 70th year. During all these years he has made hosts of friends and but few enemies, and his death is regretted by the entire community. Besides being a Mason, Mr Lott served as a musician during the war and was to his last conscious hours true to the Confederacy, the cause he loved so dearly. During his last rational words was a mention of a cross of honor he was to receive on Memorial Day.
He was buried with all the Masonic honors that are always impressive. The Daughters of the Confederacy attended in a body and sang "Tenting on the Old Camp Ground," and scarcely a dry eye was seen during the singing of the hymn. His casket was buried beneath a mound of beautiful flowers, brought by loving friends, among them a handsome floral design from the Daughters of the Confederacy, bearing two Confederate flags.
The sympathy of every one goes out to the widow in her loneliness and to the sons and daughters and the entire large family connection. Great grief was shown by the grandchildren who well knew the meaning of grandfathers's vacant chair.
Mr Lott held a place of rank in the camp of Veterans that will be hard to fill and the respect and esteem due him was shown by the large attendance of veterans. Peace to the soul and rest to the body that wore the gray.

Mr. William Lott
On Sunday evening last after a long and patient illness, Mr . William Lott died at his home near Johnston. A gallant survivor of the Lost Cause, a sterling citizen and a high-toned gentleman has passed over the river. William Lott's name was a synonym of virtue, honor and nobility of character. Not only the community in which he lived, but the entire county feels deeply this bereavement. A devoted wife, and affectionate daughter and four sons survive this good man. His remains were laid to rest in the Johnston cemetery on Monday afternoon. The large concourse that attended his funeral showed how he was loved and esteemed by all who knew him.
