Obituaries Spartanburg County, South Carolina Perry West Mr. Perry West, of Glenn Springs, fell asleep on Feb. 28th, 1891 He was born May 14th, 1808, and was nearly 83 years old. His life covered the largest part of the 19th century.........The most of his long life was spent in the same neighborhood. He was a citizen and neighbor, and loving, faithful husband; a kind father and truly a good man.....He was married to Miss Rhoda Wofford February 22d, 1833, with whom he lived happily until her death, Aug. 27th, 1848. Dec. 20th, 1849 he was happily married to Miss Harriet C. Shields, who survives him. He buried a wife and six children, hence had been called to drink deeply from the bitter cup of sorrow. He was a consistent member of the Sulphur Springs Baptist Church for almost fifty years, served his church as clerk for a number of years, and as deacon forty-four years....He leaves a wife, four children and a large circle of friends to mourn his loss......(The Carolina Spartan, Apr. 1, 1891) Major W. H. Trimmier November 17th, in Spartanburg at the residence of Major W. H. Trimmier, of consumptin, James Vernon Miller, aged 20 years. (The Charleston Mercury November 29, 1859)  Robert White Jr. Robert White, who died at his residence near Cedar Springs, in Spartanburg County, on the 17th day of February last, deserves a worthier tribute to his memory than the writer of this short sketch is capable of giving. He was born in Union County, then District, on the – day of -, 1874, and was in his ninety-sixth year when he died. When a youth he united with the Padgett's Creek Church, in his native District. In 1815 he moved to Spartanburg District, and settled near Cedar Springs, where he continued to reside until the day of his death. On Moving to his new home he at once changed his membership to the church at that place. In 1821 he was elected a deacon of the Cedar Springs Church, which office he retained, and by his Christian conduct adorned, the balance of his life...thus continuing for fifty-nine years a deacon of the church where he was ordained... The end of such a man could be nothing less than perfect, and though dead he yet speaketh, in the impress he left upon others. Happy the man who, like Robin White, can, when he comes to die, look back upon a life whose youth, manhood, and old age have been spent doing all the good he could in the sphere in which he lived and labored! The rich fragrance which lingers around a life thus spent will long rise, like precious incense, to shed its blessings upon all around....A Friend ( Upper South Carolina Genealogy & History, May 2003, Vol. XVII, No. 2..The Carolina Spartan, issue of May 26, 1880, p 2, col 4) James Henry Yarbrough Spartanburg, July 4 - The funeral of James Henry Yarbrough, who died yesterday afternoon at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Gabrael Cannon, on Otis boulevard, took place here today, interment being made in Oakwood cemetery.  Mr. Yarbrough was 72 years of age, a native of Davidson county, Tennessee, and for the greater part of his life a resident of Nashville, where he was prominently identified with the business intersts of that city and active in the work of the Southern Methodist church.  He had lived in this city with his daughter, Mrs. Canno, only a few years.
