DEATH OF AN ESTEEMED CITIZEN
NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, NOVEMBER 26, 1869 Abbeville Press Newspaper
We regret to announce the death of Mr. John TAGGART, an old and highly
esteemed citizen, which occurred after a short illness at his residence in
this village on Sunday last, the 21st inst. The deceased was born in this
village in January 1801 and was hence in the 69th year of his age. He was
the son of Moses TAGGART, long the Ordinary of the District, and served
himself for one term as Sheriff of Abbeville, having been elected to that
office in 1835.
With the exception of a short absence, his life was spent in Abbeville
village and here he was universally esteemed for the high integrity of his
character and the rare kindness and affability of his temper. He was a
member of the Episcopal church here from its foundation; his last moments
were cheered by the consolation of the Christian faith. He leaves a large
circle of relatives to mourn his loss.
