after which the remains were inferred at
Rural Hill" Judge Parramore, as
already stated in the DISPATCH. left his
home. at Accomac Courthouse, late Sunday
afternoon and rode to The Folly" the
homestead of his ancestors and the place
where he was born and lived for
many years The house stands on
beautiful headland, which Is almost sur
rounded by the two arms of Folly creek, a
broad and deep estuary of the Atlantic
Ocean. Judge Parramore arrived at The
Follyn about twilight. He did not 90
10 the house. but hitched the horse and
buggy at the gate and walked along the
shore till he came to the little wharf Just
behind the house. Here he found small
negro boy. whom he asked 10 go with him
on the wharf, but the boy was afraid of
him and ran away TO the house, about 100
yards distant.
Judge Parramore found small sail boat
lying at the wharf. He managed 10 get
into this. united the bow-line, and allowed
il 10 swing out into the channel. where he
either fell or jumped out into the deep
water, and was drowned. His body was
found exactly where IL had sunk 10 the
bottom, and his cane was found lying on
talS rttih oNeh
his clothes but his hat, which had hoated
out on the ebbing tide.
Judge Parramore was in the Confederate
army till he was elected TO the House OF
Delegates. in which body he served till
the close of the war. He was a man OF
the highest sense of honor, and while on
the bench was one Of the most impartial
and upright judges the State has ever had.
His physical infirmities and the dread of
mental imbecilIty drove his proud spirit
20 take the fearful and fatal step. His per-
sonM character and his sad end were not
unlike those Of the younger Cato.
