fate: Died in Beaufort, Friday, November 11, 1904, William Porter Danner Mr. Danner was a native of Beaufort, as had been his family
for generations before, and had been for 26 years up to a short while ago,
one of our most active, progressive businessmen. He was for 26 years a
partner in the dry goods firm of Wallace & Danner, and of late years
had an interest in the grocery house of C. E. Danner & Co. In his
business and personal relations he was deservedly highly thought of and in
a matter of trade, the word of Porter Danner was binding as the bond of
any other man. He was a loving son, a devoted husband and an affectionate
father and was most considerate in all his dealing with his fellows. For
the past year he had, from physical ailment, been forced to withdraw from
active business, and surrounded with all that family and friends could do
to alleviate his sufferings, he sank peacefully to rest. Mr. Danner left a
widow, two daughters and a son, besides an aged mother to whom he had been
a good son. All these and his brothers and sisters to whom he had taken
the place almost of a father, have the warmest sympathy of sincere
friends. The funeral services were held at St. Helena Church. Saturday
afternoon and were conducted by Rev. W. L. Githens, the rector. In spite
of the inclement weather and continued rain, a large number paid a last
respect to the dead. The floral tribute were exquisite and abundant. The
following gentlemen were the pallbearers: Messrs. W. P. Gibbes, J. M.
Rhett, W. R. Bristol. C.K. Batenelder, D. W. Crocker and Thomas
Talbird. (Palmetto Post, November 17, 1904 - contributed by Lois
