The Winnsboro City Council began its meeting with a proclamation remembering Scottie Sewell, a police officer the mayor said had served with the department since 2015 and who died unexpectedly on Oct. 3. The mayor described Sewell as “one of the nice guys” whose smiling presence will be missed.
Ryan (name given in the record) relayed the community’s funeral arrangements, noting a visitation at a funeral home in Silver Springs Thursday evening followed by a service the next morning. The council invited residents who knew Sewell to attend.
