Denmark , July 8. –
Saturday morning R. L.
Ziegler died at his residence in Denmark after
an illness of several months. The announcement of his death was
received with much sadness by his numerous friends throughout the
county. Mr. Zeigler was about 56 years of age, and was one of
the most highly respected men of his community and his death removes
one whose place it will be hard to fill. Mr. Zeigler was a
consistent member of the Denmark church and had always been an
active member. He is survived by his wife and several children and
two brothers, L. C. Zeigler of Bamberg and R. J. Zeigler of
Allendale, besides a number of other relatives. He was a brother of
the late Mrs. J. A. Byrd, who died only a few months ago. The
remains were interred at the village cemetery at 5 o’clock Sunday
afternoon in the presence of a large concourse of relatives and
friends, the services being in charge of the Masonic order, of which
he was a faithful member. The floral tributes were numerous and
beautiful, which attested in a small way the high esteem in which he
was held. [State – 9 July 1922 ; transcribed by Marla Zwakman]
