failed to 60 to his home at thil
lhour, and his family concluding
that he was detained by business
waited supper for him. Not com.

finding the front door closed and
locked, concluded he was down
street, and came en- down making
inquiries for him. No one had
seen him after about 400 p m
This alarmed his son and son-in-
law. and they repaired again to his
Office and forced an entrance, and
going into the consulting or back
room, found him lying on the
floor cold in death. How long he
had been dead no one could tell,
as he was cold and stiff. Drs.
Barbee & Barbee, NeaIe, Mossman
and others were hurriedly sum
moned. but their services we're not
needed. The announcement of
his death few rapidly over the
town, and soon great crowds were
hurrying towards the office. His
remains were turned over to I'm
dertaker Tippett, who prepared
the body for removal to his home.
The scene on the arrival of his
body at his late home was most
heart-rending, and moved the
stoutest hearts.
The coroner, deeming jury of
inquest unnecessary, made exam
ination of the body. and decided
death resulted from apoplexy.
Major Tomlinson was a lawyer
of great ability and power, besides
he was prominent in the affairs of
his county and State. He was dur
ing the war the Prosecuting At
torney for the counties of Mason,
Cabell, Putnam and Lincoln; was
County Treasurer of this county
under the old constitution, admit
ting West Virginia into the Union;
was member of the lower branch
of the Legislature for several terms,
and was member of the legisIa-
tive committee to codify the laws
of the State and make the first
code of laws for the State.
He was Mayor of Point Pleasant
a number of times, and held many
other positions of honor and trust
in this town and county. He was
a man who commanded the respect
and confidence of all classes of peo-
pie, and was exceedingly popular.
His sad and sudden death will be a
blow to this town, because no
for its betterment was
ever suggested but what it had his
and encouragement, and
to the extent of his means contrib
uted to every enterprise that might
in any way help the town, and his
advice was sought and followed
upon all occasions. He was big
hearted and kind to the poor, who
will miss him when the rigors of
winter return again.
The deceased was a member of
Christ Protestant Episcopal Church
of this place.
The Register together with this
whole community depIores his sud
den death, and with the Register
its deepest, heartfelt sym.
pathies to the heart broken wife
and the weeping and mourning
children in their sad afiiction.
May God give them strength to
stand up under this heavy blow.
The funeral will take place Sun
day at 200 p. u.
