IN MEMoRIAM-The deep solicitude
felt by the people ofthis community in
common with those in every part of
the county and State, concerning the
sickness of Hon. Samuel Gold, was
turned to grief by the announcements of
his death.
To say that Mr.. Gold was one of the
most highly esteemed citizens of this
section is but to repeat what every one
has been saying ever since his sickness
gave occasion for expressions of SYM
pathy and regard. AS one expressed
it, g He was one of the best men that
ever lived; another, =" He was too
good for his own good" and still an
other, -" No man ever went to him for
favor that he did not grant it " This
kindness Of disposition, with his we'll
known probity of character, was not
unappreciated by the people among
whom his life was passed.
During the earlier part of the eigh-
tenth century his forefathers, with
other Presbyterians, fled from Scotland
at a time of religious persecution and
found refuge i'll the northern part of
Ireland. His great grandfather, Thos.
Gold, came to America about the year
1850 and settled i'll Delaware. The
family remained there until after the
Revolutionary war, when they moved
to Virginia and settled near Summit
Point. His grandfather afterwards
bought a tract Of land near Berryville,
and moved to it. This property still
remains in the family and is now oc-
cupied by Thos. d. Gold, first cousin
of the deceased.
h eide he lfraooa
was of similar character. His great
grandfather, Gilbert zMcKown, was
born i'll Ireland, bat came to America
when young man. He first located
i'll Pennsylvania but afterwards re-
moved and settled near this village.
Both sides were stai1nch Presbyterians
and each geueration of both families
has furnished Office bearers in that
Church.
He was the only son of the late
Washington Gold, of this neighbor-
hood, formerly of Clarke Co., Va, of
whose children three daughters still
survive.
He was married May 18TH, 1889, to
Miss Lizzie Lamon, who, with two sons
and daughter, is left to mourn in
loneliness of heart and home the great
bereavement that has befallen them.
He was buried in the Presbyterian
graveyard at this place, the pail bear
ers being six brothers-in-law and two
first cousins The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. F. L. Wilson.
The high esteem felt for the deceased
was shown not only by the large con-
gregation in attendance, but by the ex-
pressions of sorrow seen on every side,
even strong men-both white and col
ored-shedding tears around the bier
of their beloved friend and neighbor-
