Obituary: IRMO - Furman Raymond Younginer passed peacefully into eternal life , 16, 2017. Born 14, 1923, in Irmo, SC, he was the son of the late Raymond Samuel Younginer and Gertrue Petty Younginer of Irmo. He was predeceased by his wife of 62 years, Louise O’Sheal Younginer.

A lifelong resident of Irmo, Mr. Younginer was educated in the Irmo schools and graduated from Irmo High in 1941. graduation, he began working in the Accounting Department with the Columbia, Newberry, and Laurens (CN&L) Railroad and continued in this position until he was drafted into the U.S. Army at the age of 19. He served in the U.S. Army during World War II, from 15, 1943 until he was honorably discharged 14, 1945.

His years of service for his country began with basic training at Fort Jackson. He was sent to Washington, D.C. for a short while and in 1943 he was sent to Camp Patrick Henry (Newport News, VA) where he boarded a Liberty ship. He traveled across the ocean for 17 days to begin his service in the European theatre of operations. He first landed in Casablanca and then traveled via train, in boxcars, across North Africa. He was sent to Italy to serve in the Allied Control Commission (Military Government for the Italy 2675th Regiment) under the command of General Mark Clark. Mr. Younginer was based in a number of Italian cities, but he was assigned to Rome for the majority of his time and while there, he attended classes at the University of Rome. He often recalled that while in Rome, he learned the good news of the war’s end and that he would soon return home.

Following the end of World War II, he returned to Irmo, attended the University of South Carolina, and continued his work in accounting for the CN&L Railroad (now, part of CSX Railroad). His job position was Assistant Secretary/Treasurer and he was responsible for the financial and managerial functions in the Columbia office of the CN&L. He was employed by the CN&L Railroad for 42 years and retired in 1983.

As a member of America’s Greatest Generation, Mr. Younginer’s experiences in World War II gave him many insights which he related to and envisioned for his hometown of Irmo. He acknowledged the positive aspects of the many places to which he had been assigned or visited and sought to incorporate those features that would promote civics, leadership, and progress in the community. In 1951, Furman Younginer was elected to the Irmo Town Council and he remained on the Council until 1961 when he was elected Mayor of Irmo. He served as Irmo’s mayor for 16 years (1961 – 1977) and during his administration many changes and improvements occurred in the community. The Irmo area became well-known as an ideal place for families to live. Mr. Younginer cooperated with industry and real estate developers, envisioning a bright and productive future for Irmo.

One of his most significant contributions to the community involved the water supply for Irmo. He and the Town Council worked to obtain financing to develop the Irmo Water System. Work on the water system began 1967 and by the summer of 1968, water of a superior quality was flowing for homes in Irmo. In the 1970’s, with the continuing growth of residences in Irmo and the need for a more robust water system, Mayor Younginer facilitated the sale of the Irmo Water System to the City of Columbia. Another major contribution for the community was establishing fire protection for the Irmo area. Mayor Younginer, with the full support of the Council, developed plans for the Irmo Fire Department, thereby forming the Irmo Fire District in 1963. He guided the establishment of other significant improvements such as establishing an organized garbage service in the 1970’s for the Town of Irmo. Also, during his administration, he obtained the funding to pave most streets in Irmo, extended street lighting, established street names as well as street address numbering for homes.

Mr. Younginer’s public service extended across the county and in 1963, he was appointed by the Lexington Legislative Delegation to study the hospital needs of Lexington . The recommendation was made to establish a facility which was originally known as Lexington Hospital (now, Lexington Medical ). Upon completion of the hospital, he served as a Charter Member of the Lexington Hospital Board of Trustees from 1967-1978.

Furman Younginer’s participation in organizations and civic activities included: recipient in 2001, Order of the Palmetto; charter member, Irmo Ruritan Club for which he served as president for many years; member, SC Railroad Museum for which he served on the Board of Trustees for several terms; member, National Historical Railroad Society; member, Greater Irmo Chamber of Commerce; member, Executives Club of the Midlands; served on the boards of three banks which included Irmo Bank of Commerce, Southern Bank & Trust Co., and First Union; served on the Board of Trustees of Friends of the Lexington Museum; former president and honorary member, Lexington Municipal Association; member, Col. Thomas Taylor Chapter, National Society Sons of the American Revolution; member for over 70 years, American Legion Post 7, serving in positions including commander and chaplain; Honorary Irmo Historian; contributor to the writing of and memorabilia for the Irmo history book, “Irmo and the Dutch Fork Legacy.”

Mr. Younginer was a lifelong member of the Irmo Pentecostal Holiness Church (now known as Irmo Family Worship ). He accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior at age 9 and his faith and trust in God never wavered. He served multiple positions in the church including secretary-treasurer and School superintendent.

Furman Younginer will be forever remembered in the hearts of his friends and family. He leaves to cherish his memory, his five children and spouses: Miriam Y. and Donald E. Lovett, Caroline Y. and Frederick E. Sojourner, Ann Y. and Robert Gunning IV, Paul F. and Angela M. Younginer, Lucy Y. and Dr. R. Paul Austin. His continued...

Paul was a member of St. Andrews Evangelical Church where he dearly loved his church family and served the church in numerous ways. He proudly served his country in the US Marine Corps from 1979 through 1987, achieving the rank of Sergeant. Paul was a gifted photographer that the Marine Corps believed in so much that they sent him to Syracuse University's elite photojournalism school for military correspondents.

He supervised all internal information programs and products for the US Army Training , Ft. Jackson. He was responsible for the redesign of The Fort Jackson Leader.

Special assignments included coverage for a Philippines 1990 earthquake, Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm in 1991, and a 1991 Bangladesh monsoon.

He was later able to realize his goal of working in information technology, employed most recently by J.B. Martin as an Information Technology Specialist for four years.

Paul remained active with the Marine Corps, becoming a member of the local Marine Corps League Speedy Wilson Detachment. His love of country and strong patriotism was evident throughout his life, reflected in the way he readily helped others and displayed true generosity.

During his time of illness, Paul ministered to many individuals through Facebook, sharing messages of hope and positivity. His love for God was demonstrated through his words of encouragement for others going through physical, emotional and spiritual difficulties.

Surviving are his wife of 16 years, Younghaus; sons, Nicholas, Tyler, and Ethan Younghaus; and sister, Kim Hahn.

The family wishes to thank those who provided care for Paul during his cancer journey, especially Abbey Road Hospice and its wonderful, caring staff that went above and beyond to show Paul honor and respect with compassion, kindness and dignity.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to The Wounded Warrior Project
