A GOOD MAN HAS LEFT Us.-We have
learned with pain by our exchanges of the
death of Rev. Robert Nelson, DID, which
occurred last Thursday at Oakland. Va
DR.. Nelson had been for thirty years a mis-
sionary to China, and while in that position
he did his whole duty in preaching the
Gospel to the heather. Six years ago he
returned to this country in failing health,
and took charge of parish at Woodbury.,
Connecticut. The cold of last Winter,
however, was too much for his enfeebled
frame, and he came to Virginia but to lay
his bones alongside Of those of his distin-
guished forefathers. He was the grandson
of Gov. Thomas Nelson, of Yorktown, and
at the Centennial celebration in 1881 he was
most appropriately chosen to offer the open
ing prayer. DR.. Nelson married Miss
Poyntz, daughter of the .. s. Marshal of
the Western District of Virginia-a charm
ing lady, and the worthy helpmate of her
devoted husband. -Norfolk Landmark.
Mrs. Nelson, so complimentary men
toned in the above, was native of this
city, daughter of the late Jas. Points,
Esq, and sister of Prof. Leonidas Poyntz,
a teacher in the Deaf, Dumb and Blind In
StitutiOn.
