He had been suffering for months with
heart disease, and since February was

rally and his family grew hopeful, but
these recuperstive symptoms would be
followed by sinking spells.
Majar Randolph suffered severe at
tack of grip about q year ago, and that
seemed to aggravate' his heart trouble
He remained at his post of duty as third
vice-president of the Richmond and Dan
vile system despite his illness until the

his death the condition of Major Ran
dolph had caused his family serious
alarm. His death was quiet and
peaceful. He was conscious until with
in few moments of his death. When
the summons came he was surrounded
by his family, Mrs. Randolph and five
daughters.
