PAY LAST TRIBUTE TO HAMPTON LORICK
===================================================
Funeral services for Hampton A. Lorick, 63, who died at his home on Riverside drive (Should be River Drive) about 10 o'clock Monday night, will be held from the Ebenezer Lutheran church at 4 o'clock this afternoon, with the Rev. P. D. Brown, pastor in charge. Interment will be in the churchyard cemetery.

He was born in Lexington (Irmo)Fork, November 8, 1867, the son of W. A. Lorick, (Wade Alexander Lorick) who lived on the highway from Columbia to Newberry and his mother was Ellen Drafts, both of which have long since predeceased him. His early life was spent on his father's farm until he was married on December 17, 1890, after which time a portion of his time was spent on the farm of his uncle, G. W. Lorick (George Washington Lorick). His wife is the daughter of Willie Lorick (William Washington Lorick), whose mother was Minnie Bookman (Lorick).

In early life he began farming and merchandising and spent the greater portion of his early manhood in the vicinity of his birth at these occupations until Irmo was founded. He moved from first residence to Irmo and continued in the mercantile business and to farm until he moved to Columbia about 1912. Since that time he had been in the mercantile business on Riverside drive (River Drive).

Early in life he was confirmed a member of Old Bethlehem church, Bookman (Bookman Church). Since that time he has served as a consistent and active member of the Lutheran church, always interested in the advancement of religion and willing to serve this cause either with his physical energies or by contributions.

Soon after moving to Irmo, he was very active in having the old church (Bookman Church) near Broad River moved to Irmo (Now 10,000 Broad River Road) and during his life at Irmo he was very active in support of the institution at that place. This connection continued until he moved to Columbia when he transferred his membership to Ebenezer Lutheran Church.

His business career both at its beginning in the (Richland) county and its continuance in Irmo and also its further continuance in Columbia has been always honest and conscientious. He is highly respected by all those merchants with whom he dealt, and made friends easily with his customers because of his friendly disposition.

He is very fond of children and contributes largely to their joy and pleasure in his store and home. It has been his habit for a number of years to make special prices on articles which was sold to ministers of any denominations and their families.

In his death the state and the church have lost a valuable and progressive citizen and white his immediate family mourns his lost they have a number of friends who sympathize with them in this loss.
