Death OF DR.. Baldwin Day.
We take the following announce
ment of the death of DIR. Baldwin
Day, from the Warrenton Vngin-
ian. DIR. Day was practicing
physician in this county, located at
Spilman.
ON Wednesday night July 25th,
1894, Baldwin Day breathed his
last. His eyes closed on a fairer
prospect then is held out to most
] young men. He was young and
talented and trusted in his profess
sion TO degree that we have never
seen equalled in one of his years,
and his death is mourncd, with sim
cerity, unassumed, by people of all
conditions. We may, we should
express a proper regret when a
man dies who pays every cent he
owes and collects all that is due
him, but our hearts ache and we
shed onr-tears only on the graves5of
the warm hearted and generous.
Where there was sickness and suf
fering Baldwin Day went with
hurrying feet, it mattered not who
was in trouble, and those who were
able paid him in money and the
affection and gratitude of the penni-
less passed with him as legal tender.
For long time he enjoyed 70
bust health, and like all so blessed
his love for the pleasures oflife was
strong. His ready wit, his deep
good humor, drew to him many
friends who will miss him at those
gatherings of which he was the
leader
Impressed, a year or more ago,
with the seriousness of living he
moved to West Va, where he enter
ed into excellent arrangements for
the practice of his profession, and it
was there the disease of the throat
which caused his death made its
appearance. He did not want to
die, who with a sound mind ever
did at his age2 How stout was the
fight he made to live, how patiently
he bore his suffering those who
watched him know and words can
not tell As the disease advanced,
the desire to be at his old home
grew irresistible and he came back
hoping that the sight of the old
familiar places endeared by so
many tender associations would
help him stay the relentless hand
of death. But this was delusion
Inch by inch he yielded to his fate
until as told above his soul winged
its fight to a better world. In
respect to him the music, to which
he had SO often lead light feet and
lighter hearts was hushed; the large
outpouring of people at his funeral
was quiet as the waters that rest
without a ripple; countless flowers
were placed upon his grave, from
which there was no hurrying and
around which many fingered un-
willing to leave him. alone in the
dread stiffness of the summer night
