John Randolph. Of Roanoke, died
June "a, 1893. at the City hotel in Phila-
delphia, where he had gone to set sail
for England. On his way there, says the
Philadelphia Times, he passed through
Washington, and, dragging his enact
ated body with difficulty to the senate
chamber, again met Henry Clay. The
former enemies had touching inter-
view and parted, for the last time, in
peace and good will.
Randolph was carried to Virginia and
buried under the pines of Roanoke in
the midst of that solitude which he had
always craved in life. Many years later
his remains were removed to Hollywood
cemetery in Richmond, and handsome
monument placed over them by John
Randolph Bryan.
In making the removal it was found
that his body was buried no less than
eight feet in the ground; the triple lead
coffin was with difficulty removed, as
the roots of an old oak had burst IL
asunder and wrapped round and round
his body, holding him In long en-
