Confederate Veteran is Called to Reward John J. Hatcher, 82, passes suddenly at 4 o'clock this morning With the death this morning at 4 o'clock of John J. Hatcher, 82 years of age, another valiant Confederate veteran has answered taps and has been summoned to his reward. Mr. Hatcher, the father of L. L. Hatcher of the Sullivan Hardware Co., passed quietly but suddenly, his death coming as a shock to his family and many friends. He died at his home on East Orr Street where he lived with his daughter, Miss Anna Hatcher. Mr. Hatcher was said to have appeared yesterday to be in excellent health. He had not been ill lately and was remarkably well preserved physically despite his advanced years. He was known throughout Anderson, expecially among veterans of the War Between the States, having served by the side of many of Anderson's sons who volunteered their services to the Confederacy. When but a youth, Mr. Hatcher offered his services and served practically throughout the conflict. He was a courageous soldier, intrepid in the face of reverses, and his spirit won the admiration of his comrades. Mr. Hatcher was made a prisoner by the Union forces in an engagement during the war and was held for a long period of time. Mr. Hatcher was born and reared in Anderson county and but for the period of his service with the Confederate troops spent his whole life in this county. For many years following the war he engaged in farming, later retiring from active life due to his advanced age. For many years he had made his home in the city proper, his residence, being next that of his son, Mr. L. L. Hatcher. Mr. Hatcher was preceded to the grave some twenty years ago by his beloved wife. He is survived by one son, L. L. Hatcher; two daughters, Miss Anna Hatcher who lived with him, and Mrs. E. R. Bobo of near Jasper, Ala. One brother, T. H. Hatcher of Eastern Texas, also survived him.Mr. Hatcher was a member of the Oakdale Baptist church for many years. The funeral service will be held at Oakdale, in Fork, township, at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, Rev. E. C. White officiating. Interment will occur in the Oakdale cemetery.
