Edgefield, S. C., Oct. 24 - After a lingering illness extending over a period of nearly eight years, Julian P. Key died Friday morning at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C.H. Key. He was living in Columbia during the World War and had a nervous breakdown, resulting from over-work as a pharmacist. During his sickness he has been treated by some of the leading specialists in the country, but nothing could be found to bring permanent relief.
At the time of his death, Mr. Key was in the 40th year of his age, most of his life having been spent in Edgefield. His ancestors were among the most honored people of the county. Few people, if any, have ever resided in Edgefield who had more friends than Julian Key. He possessed sterling qualities, such as inspired the confidence and esteem of all with whom he came in contact.
Mr. Key was a member of the First Baptist Church, of Edgefield. During his long illness he exercised the most beautiful patience and fortitude. Death had no terrors for him and the end came as peacefully as if he had fallen asleep. For several years he and his devoted wife, who before their marriage was Miss Carrie Sue Tompkins, of Columbia, have made their home in Edgefield with his parents, where he always received the constant and most devoted attention of loved ones.
The funeral was conducted Saturday afternoon by his pastor, Rev. W.L. Coker, assisted by Rev. H.L. Baggot, of Columbia. The floral tributes were numerous and very beautiful. The interment took place in the village cemetery.
Besides his wife, Mr. Key is survived by his parents and one sister, Mrs. Hal Beman, of Augusta and one brother, C.B. Key, of West Palm Beach, Fla.
