Florence-Nov. 23- This has been a day of sadness in Florence, made so by the terrible tragedy that was enacted at Muse’s Bridge on Black Creek late Saturday evening when the automobile that was driven by A.D. Taylor swerved and leaped from the bridge to the middle of the stream, 12 feel below and into 15 feet of water, resulting in the death by drowning of A.D. Taylor, the owner and driver of the car; Robert S. Harrison, a young merchant, and John E. Richter, an employee of the Florence gas plant and a coworker with Taylor.
The remains of young Richter were prepared for burial and sent to Columbia. The remains were accompanied to the station by a large number of friends.
At 11 o’clock, at the First Baptist Church, of which he was a member, the funeral services of Robert S. Harrison were held, being conducted by his pastor, the Rev. John S. Sowers, D.D.
The interment followed at Mount Hope Cemetery and was attended by a vast crowd of friends.
A.D. Taylor came to Florence three years ago when the Florence gas company was organized. He was well known and popular. He married Miss Georgia Buchheit of this city a few months ago.
At 3:30 o’clock this afternoon the funeral services of A.D. Taylor took place at the First Presbyterian Church, Mr. Taylor being a member of the Bible Class of that Sunday School. The services were conducted by the pastor, the Rev. Richard T. Gillespie, and the spacious auditorium of this church was filled with friends of the deceased young man and relatives of the family. The funeral at the church being over, the procession moved hence to Mount Hope Cemetery, where the interment was held.
It is doubtful if there has ever been an occurrence or tragedy in this section that has brought forth for the families of the victims of Saturday night’s affair more sympathy and genuine brotherly love than the one above mentioned. It seems that the heart of everyone went out to them and with this every effort was made and offered to show that this sympathy and love was from the heart.
