Gist one of Union county's most prominent citizens, was buried yesterday with Masonic honors at Bogansville Methodist church, nine miles above Union. A large concourse of people gathered to pay a last tribute of respect to the dead man. He was in his 71st year, and through a long life time he was the leading citizen of Bogansville township, this county. For several months he had been in declining health and the end was not unexpected. Mr. Gist was a son of Gov. Gist and leaves 19 living children. He was twice married; his first wife was Miss Mary E. Jones of this county, who died leaving several children of this union are W.H. Gist and R.V. Gist, Mrs. W.E. Ratchford, Miss Sadie Gist and Mrs. Carrie C. Jeter, all of Carlisle. Mr. Gist was married the second time to Miss Addie Palmer, who with 12 children, survives him. Mr. Gist was a gallant Confedarate soldier and was of incalculable service to his country in the days of Reconstruction. A price was on his head for the hand he took in Ku Klux clan. He was said to have been the head of this organization in this county and that his purse was open to further this cause. It is stated on good authority that he gave away at least $2000 to purchase horses and equipment in carrying on this work and that he almost bankrupted himself in the movement. This much is certainly true-he was regarded by the United States by government detectives in an effort to capture him and imprison him. It is said be some of the older citizens that Mr. Gist became Republican in national politics, deeming that course the only thing that would give him any relief from the persecution of authorities. He was never known to vote anything but the Democractic ticket in local and State politics At heart he was a loyal Confederate veteran and was true to the Democracy. His course perhaps saved the lives of many citizens and brought order in the township of Bogansville when the condition was most serious. Mr. Gist 1s said to have done more for the advancement of Bogansville township than any man living or dead. He was a man of high intelligence and strong integrity, he was possessed withal with a very kind heart and was held in the highest esteem by his neighbors who knew him best. There were more than 1,000 people in attendance upon his burial and the floral tributes many and beautiful.
