we anhouhce the ueath of one of our most yalu.
ed citlZens-NathanlelP I. Catlett-which took
place at his residence In this city on Sunday
night, the 18th inst, between 10 and II o,clocb
in the sixty-third year of his age Althouoh
Mr.. Catlett had been quite ill for a week its
fatal termination was not suspected until Sun
day morning and the news fell upon the ears
Of our citizens yesterday morning with a shock
that has cast a gloom over our community.
MIR. Catlett was, we believe a native of Gull
lpeperoounty. and came to Staunton twenty five
or more years ago and soon became an officer
In the old Valley Bank.
! After the war he held for number OF years
a position in the National Valley Bank and
upon the organization of the Augusta National
BANK. he received the appointment of Cashier
| which position he held to the time of his sud-
den taking off. Soon after his arrival in Staun-
\ ton, he intermarried with Miss Bette BrecIen-
| ridge.
| In the death of Mr.. Catlett our community
| has lost a most estimable and worthy citizen
| and his family devoted husband and alice
tionate father. No more will his familiar form
and genial face be seen in our midst, and how
s.orely he will be missed by his wife, children
and relatives can only be known to theySearch-
er of all hearts. good man has been taken
from us, but his good name still lives with u.s.

the prosperous Banking Institutions of the

slness affairs, his gentle courtesy and polite
ness OF manner, and his just regard for the

against tlle command of duty, while, at the
same tim 2, duty was so tempered by kindly
courtesy That even the disappointed accepted
the occasional refusal of requests almost as il
the favors asked for had been granted Rarely,
indeed, have the responsible the delicate and
the difficult duties which belong to the office of
Cashier, been entrusted to one who more truly
appreciated them or more faithfully discharged

men; while at the same time, where principle
was Involved, or duty commaned, he was in
