We regret to learn, rs we do from
an extra issued from the Office Of the
Clinton Exporter, dated last Friday,
that DR.. Henry \. Bizzell, one of the
most prominent and beloved citizens of
Sampson county, died at his residence
last Thursday afternoon. tie had been
confined 10 his house for some weeks
l.- an affection of the heart, and for
some time his immediate friends had
been aware that his disease was in
durable; but after ali, his death was
sudden and unexpected. The Hcporter'
saws: .'The deceased was born ia Wayne
county on the 23d day of October,
1918, and commenced the practice of
medicine, in this town, in 1870. He
was gentleman Of the very highest
integrity, and i'll his social relations
was above reproach. He was kind and
courteous in his intercourse with all,
and possessed a childllke Ingenious
ness of manner which is often the ac-
compartment of original thought and
powerful intellectual development. AS
Il physician we believe the State has
never produced more popular or a
more skillflIl one. By industry, per-
severance, professional skill and con-
scientious dealing, he acquired COM
potency, although he entered the
morning OF his manhood with very
humble means. About twenty-foIIr
wears ago lie commenced to practice
the arduous duties of his profession i'll
this town, and throughout the vicissi-
tudes of that time he sustained an m
blemished character, aye, 4 name
worth dying for.
