II is with exceeding regret that
we chronicle the death of Mr.. Thos.
r. Lee, one Of Wayne county's most
Substantial citizens, which sad event
occurred at / o'clock Saturday
morning, after a lingering illness, at
his home in Mt. Olive. He was
a brave Confederate soldier, and
carried through all the intervening
years from the field of battle a pains
full wound through the lung, that
has at length ended in the sleep that
knows no waking. May he sleep
well. He leaves a wife and several
children, sons aud daughters, to
whom the sincerest sympathy of a
host of friends goes out in this dark
hour OF sorrow and bereavement. The
funeral was held yesterday ALTERS
moon.
