Olin Lowry DuRant Death Date: 27 Jan 1912 Death Place: Lake City, SC Publication Date: 1 Feb 1912 Reference: OD: 2/1/1912DD: 1/27/1912v75, #33, p1, c1 URL:http://www.wofford.edu/library... ========================= Rev. O. L. Durant Dead There are many people in Pickens County who will regret to receive this news. He was known and called here "Judge Durant" and numbered his friends by his acquaintences. He died at Lake City on the night of Januray 31st at the home of one of his sons. He had retired from active work in the ministry on account of his health some hears ago, and for the past year rapidly declined. He was 68 years old and is survived by his wife and nine children, four boys and five girls. Judge Durant first came to this County about 1870 or 1872 as pastor of Easley and Pickens and other churches, which constituted his circuit. After serving this field awhile he was elected probate judge of this county and served one term. Later he was twice elected to the office of school commissioner, and after retiring from this office became assistant county treasurer during the terms of Capt. Jon H. Bowen and Mr. J. Tyler Hill. He also served a number of years as clerk for the county commissioners. In all these public trusts as well as in his ministerial duties he performed his tasks with fidelity to the people and in fear of God. He was a man of sterling qualities: simple and unassuming in his manners, yet earnest, faithful and true to every duty. Truly a good man has gone to his reward.

Stoop, angels, hither from the skies! There is no holier spot of ground Than where defeated valor lies, By mourning beauty crowned!
