Capt Joseph (Jacob) W. Cagle died at his home at No. 911 August Street about three o'clock yesterday afternoon, as the result of injuries received on the afternoon previous, when he fell coming down the stairs leading from his office in the Cagle Building to Main Street below. The funeral services will be held on Thursday, at an hour to be named later.
When coming down the stairs leading to his office, Capt. Cagle lost his footing and fell. Friends hurried to this assistance and he was carried back to his office, while medical aid was summoned. The attending physicians did not seem to think that Capt. Cagle's injuries were necessarily dangerous, though he was rendered unconscious by the fall. No browen bones were discovered and after a short while he was removed to his residence. It was still thought that Capt. Cagle had received only a few slight bruises. Yesterday morning, however, he took a turn for the worse and sank rapidly, until death ensued yesterday afternoon.
Capt. Cagle was among the best known of Greenville's citizens. He was by vocation a contractor and leaves behind him both in Greenville and in other sections of the state creations of his genius, which will serve as monuments to his memory. He was considered to be among the wealthiest men of Greenville. Capt. Cagle built within the last ten of fifteen years of his life such structures as the American Spinning Co., mill No. 1;Poe Manufacturing Co., mill No. 1; Brandon Milles, Nos 1 and 2; Belton Mills, Ninety Six Mills, Abbeville Cotton Mills; Woodruff Mills and the Piedmont Warehouse Company.
The deceased was a native of Transylvania County, North Carolina, but moved to Greenville prior to the Civil War.At the breaking out of the war he enlisted in the famous Butler Guards, Second South Carolina Regiment, and served most gallantly through the entire period of the war.
Capt. Cagle was 78 years of age, and is survived by three sons, Alex and Wilkins of Greenville, and O.B. of Poplerville, Miss. The latter is expected to arrive in Greenville sometime this morning.
