Death of Cant. las. n. Todd.

Capt. James Fl. Todd died at his home
at Mt. Solon Thursday morning at one
O'Clock, after an illness of some length.
1t had been apparent for some time that
he would not recover, but hope was
not entirely abandonded until Sunday
last. Capt. Todd was older than most
people would have imagined. He was
79, but has always been an active man
and possessed great mental and physi-
cal vigor.
He was one of the largest farmers in
the county and lived on one of the
richest and most beautiful estates in
the county. 1t lay at Mt. Solon at the
head of Messy Creek one of the most
picturesque sections of the county in
fact of Virginia, and was in the highest
state of cultivation. 1t formerly be
longed to Major J. MARSHALL McCue
and was purchased by Mr.. Todd many
years ago at the highest prics paid for
any farm sold in Augusta since the war.
Capt. Todd was man of much mental
force and welded a wide influence in his
Deighborhood. His last public act was
the assessment of the lands in that Sec
tion which he performed about five
years ago. He leaves four sons-Dr.
Philip, R. A., James E. and Robert c.
The first two reside at Mt. SoIon and
the other two in this city. He also
leaves one daughter, Mrs. A. R. g.
Bass, of Mt. Solon. His remains were
buried Friday at three o'clock at
Messy Creek Church
