OLD CITIZEN AT REST
The Funeral of Mr. SD Swygert Yesterday Morning
The funeral services of Mr. S. D. Swygert who died at his home, No. 1223 Lady St, on Thursday morning after several weeks illnes, were held in the Washington Street Methodist church yesterday at 10 o'clock. The interment was in Elmwood cemetery.
Mr Swygert was 76 years of age and one of Columbia's oldest and most highly respected citizens. He leaves a wife and two daughters, both of Birmingham. One daughter and his sons and wife were with him when he died.
(my notes: his wife is believed to be the former Abigail Arant who went to live with daughter Agnes Rencher in Birmingham after the death of SD. Another daughter was Mary LaSalle of Birmingham. One son was John S. Sanders )
