Rev. Joseph Daniel Beale

Rev. Joseph Daniel Beale was born Sept 27, 1923 in Hope, Arkansas, to the late Ernest Penny Beale, Sr., and Corrine Humphries Beale. He was the grandson of Rev. Daniel Wiesel Beale, a Presbyterian traveling evangelist and circuit rider, who Joe later emulated by centering his life on service to the Lord.

 

Joe's family moved to Georgia in the early 1920s, where they lived as sharecroppers in Americus (Buena Vista), until ultimately settling in Atlanta. Joe cherished growing up around Grant Park, listening to bands play for the Civil War Vets at the Old Soldiers' Home, and riding his bike to and from Stone Mountain.

 

The most important event in his life occurred when he and some friends stole figs from a neighbor's tree to make money for tickets to the new blockbuster, "King Kong". Despite making enough money from selling the figs, his parents instead forced him to attend a revival service; it was here, moments after stealing the figs, that he realized he was a sinner who needed a Savior. He accepted the Lord Jesus and was born again.

 

It was also at a young age that he knew the Lord was leading him into full time ministry. Joe sensed this calling through his mother's strong influence, and the encouragement of a beloved Sunday School teacher at Central Presbyterian Church. Joe loved piano lessons, so much so that he once silently sat through a lesson with a broken leg he sustained when he crashed his bike on the way to the lesson. Both his call to ministry and love of piano prepared him for the road ahead.

 

He was drafted for WWII in 1943 at the mere age of 17 and in the middle of 12th grade. Joe was initially denied entry after his physical exam revealed a back injury, but his love of country (and refusal to stay home while his two older brothers joined the war) led him to petition for a position as Chaplain's Assistant. He joined the 58th Air Service Group Air Force which took him all over the Pacific as his group fought the Japanese. They travelled first to Australia, where he learned to drive in Death Valley, then on to the Philippines, New Guinea, and the Dutch East Indies. He finally landed in Okinawa, in 1945, where he watched the Peace Envoy fly-over and end the war.

 

Upon his return to the Unites States, he graduated from Boy's High School in Atlanta, GA,  Presbyterian College in Clinton, SC, and Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, GA. Joe enjoyed creating and maintaining large gardens; he always left flowers and plants, often those original to the South Pacific, everywhere he lived, including at his college dorm.

 

While a student at Columbia Theological Seminary, Joe met and formed a great friendship with Rev.  Hyung Mo Kim, from South Korea.  In 1954, Rev. Kim's son, Sung Kyu Kim, age 15, traveled by cattle boat from South Korea to San Francisco, then by bus to Columbia to meet Joe who became Sung Kyu's guardian.  Sung Kyu graduated from Davidson College and Duke University.  He became a published physics professor at Macalester College, St Paul MN.  Joe cherished being a part of God's plan for Sung Kyu and his wife Sherry's lives and loved them dearly.

 

 

Joe led a life of service to the Lord. He served as pastor at numerous churches, including, Trinity Church, Travelers Rest, SC (1949-51), Wee Kirk Church, Decatur, GA (1951-53), McDowell and Union Churches, Lane Church in Lane, SC (1953-55), Aimwell and Longtown Church, Ridgeway SC, (1955-65), Mt Olivet Church, Winnsboro, SC (1963-65), Little Chapel on the Boardwalk, Wrightsfull Beach, NC (1965-68), First Presbyterian Church Anderson, SC (1968-72), Antioch-Reidville Churches, Woodruff/Reidville SC (1972-82), Union Church, Abbeville, SC (1985-87), Lebanon Presbyterian, Winnsboro, SC (1987-91), where he was named Pastor Emeritus and Honorably retired. In retirement, he pastored the Concord, Blackstock/New Hope ARP, in Douglass, SC (1991-99). Additionally, he was a founding member of the Presbyterian Church of America (1973).

 

As a minister, Joe loved leading music, singing, and playing the piano by ear. His true passion as a young pastor was establishing Presbyterian Campgrounds where he could hold summer camps and share the gospel with young people. It was at Camp Longridge in Ridgeway, SC, that the campers insisted he go on a date with the camp pianist, Annette Crouch. They quickly fell in love and married in 1959.

 

Annette and Joe were married for 61 years. She faithfully supported his ministry and was often pianist at the churches they served. Together they raised four children and made many good memories with their kids and grandkids at their favorite home-away-from-home, Pawleys Island.

 

Joe shared Jesus with everyone he met. His favorite sermons were from John 14 where Jesus says, "I go to prepare a place for YOU"! He and his wife lived at the Benton House in Covington, GA, since 2016 where he continued to sing and preach to his fellow residents. He is undoubtedly currently enjoying the heaven he spoke of so frequently.

 

Joe was preceded in death by his parents, Ernest Penny Beale, Sr., and Corinne Humphries Beale; brothers, Penny Beale, Robert (Bob) Beale, Ray Beale; and sister, Frances Hamilton.

 

He is survived by his wife, Annette Crouch Beale; adopted son, Sung Kyu Kim (Sherry); daughters, Gwen Blount (Joe) of Conyers, GA, Cathy Bagley (Marcel) of Columbia, Ruthie Bloxham (Don) of Spartanburg; son, Dan Beale (Julie) of Columbia; grandchildren, Allison Bodin (John),Andrew Bloxham (Sarah), Joseph Bloxham, Bethany Blount, Will Blount, David

Bloxham, Ben Blount, Rebecca Beale, Olivia Bloxham, Emily Beale, Landon Bagley,

Liam Bagley and Nathan Beale; Brother Hugh Beale (Beverly); sister, Virginia

Kindred; as well as many nieces and nephews.

 

A Funeral Service for Joe will be held Saturday, January 25, 2020, 2:00 P.M., at Thompson Funeral Home of West Columbia, 200 State Street, West Columbia, SC 29169, with Rev. Brian McCullough officiating. Interment will follow in Southland Memorial Gardens, 700 West Dunbar Road, West Columbia, SC 29170. Family will receive friends at the funeral home, one hour prior the service, from 1:00 – 2:00 P.M. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to,

Hebron Colony Ministries, 356 Old Turnpike Rd. Boone, NC 28607.

Edited obit for John "Reggie" Towns

On January 18, 2020, John Reginald Towns, age 76, of Covington, entered into rest while surrounded by his loving family. Reggie was born December 15, 1943, in Porterdale, GA, to Tillman and Lillian Towns, the 4th of 6 children.

 

Left to remember Reggie with love and adoration is his wife of 17 years, Rachel Towns; son, Brad Towns; daughter and spouse, April and Jason Higgins; step-daughters and spouses, Lynn and Ken Malcom, Jennifer and Mike Poole, Amanda and Ryan Norton, Valerie Cook; grandchildren, Connelly Crowe, Max Higgins, Isabel Higgins, Hannah Mitchell, Mattie Durden, Rebekah Stowe, Bailey Gealy, Caroline Malcom, Jaysee Fallin, Jenna Hicks, Magan Poole, Michael Poole, Mason Poole, Abby Norton, Will Norton, Noah Cook, Anslie Cook, Sadie Claire Cook, Gralynn Cook; sisters and brother-in-law, Connie Criswell, Cornelia and Dexter Farmer; brothers and sisters-in-law, Phillip and Mary Towns, Travis and Linda Towns, Ruth Towns; several great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.

 

He was preceded in death by his parents, Tillman and Lillian Towns; brother, Aaron Towns; brother-in-law, Lon Criswell; and granddaughter, Mary Beth Malcom.

 

A lover of cooking, you could often find Reggie in the kitchen whipping up his latest batch of brunswick stew. And, at Christmastime, he was charged with making the all-important and sacred egg nog for the annual family gathering. When asked to share his recipes, Reggie dismissed the requests with the claim he couldn't recreate his dishes because he didn't like to measure out the ingredients. But those who knew him best know he wanted people to come back for more, and secretly loved being the expert chef in the family.

 

He grew up and worked on the family farm until it ceased operations in the early 1980s. When he left farming, Reggie started working for Standridge Color Corporation, where he was employed for over 30 years. Upon retirement, he spent his days traveling (especially to Reggie and Rachel's favorite spot, Savannah), going out to eat, watching game shows, taking afternoon naps, and eating mixed nuts.

 

Most of all, Reggie was known to be a family man whose greatest joys were simply to see his family happy and thriving. Any mention of his grandchildren brought the biggest smile to Reggie's face and the sweetest twinkle to his eyes. He beamed with pride at the very thought of his family succeeding, and comforted his loved ones when life brought trials and heartbreaks.

 

Reggie will be missed by all who were lucky enough to know him. In fact, to know him was to be his best friend. He had lots of best friends. 

 

A Funeral Service for Reggie will be held Tuesday, January 21, 2020, 11:00 A.M., at Julia A. Porter United Methodist Church, 3 Cotton Street, in Porterdale, with Pastor Roger Cato officiating. Interment will follow in Cheney-Towns Cemetery, Rutledge. Friends are invited to visit with his family at Caldwell & Cowan Funeral Home, 1215 Access Road, in Covington, Monday, January 20, from 5:00 – 8:00 P.M.

obit for Kathy Cagle

Kathy Cagle, age 68, of Covington, passed away Friday, January 17, 2020. Mrs. Cagle was regarded by her husband, Charles, as being the love of his life. A union that was blessed with 49 years together, they happily carved out a life of contentment and simplicity. An integral part of Mrs. Cagle's world was centered around family, and gatherings with loved ones, especially around the holidays, was the thing she loved most. Mrs. Cagle had an appreciation for traveling, and Pigeon Forge, TN, was her favorite spot, where hitting up Huck Finn's Catfish was a given. She was preceded in death by her father, Norman Lee Bennett.

 

Many will miss Mrs. Cagle's presence and her capacity to love - undoubtedly none more than her husband, Charles Cagle; daughter and son-in-law, Lynn and Mike Hammonds; grandchildren, Skylar Harper, Madison Harper; mother, Frances Lee Bennett; and brother and sister-in-law, Randy and Brenda Bennett, all of Covington.

 

A Graveside Service for Mrs. Cagle will be held Sunday, January 19, 2020, 3:00 P.M., in Lawnwood Memorial Park, 1111 Access Road, in Covington, with Pastor Justin Adams officiating.
