t,c..n Of Capt. o. "A. Browne.

While the death of Capt. Orris A
| Browne, which occurred in Baltimore
on Thursday morning, was not unex
pected, yet it came as shock to thu
whole community. Capt. Browne
was born here in 1949. He was the
son of DR.. P. f. Browne, one of the
most eminent physicians of Tide
water, and Sally Bayly Browne, sister
of the Hon. Thos. II. Bayly, who sc
long represented this district in Con-
gress with distinguished ability
Capt. Browne received an academic
education at home and afterwards
graduated at the Naval Academy at
Annapolis. at the breaking out OF
the war in 1861 he resigned his posi-
ton in the navy of the U. s. and en-
tered ut once the Confederate naval
service. After a short service at
Richmond he was sent, with Wynd-
nam R. Ways, and others, to London
and Paris on duty. Completing ser
vice there he was sent to sea duty ON
board the G. s. warship Shenandoah.
He was with her until the close of
the war. The march of events found
him a rancher in Buenos Ayres,
where he endured many hardships
for two years, when finding it safe he
sailed to this country and home.
He at once entered upon the active
pursuits of life. Upon the orga MIA
tion of the Virginia oyster navy he
was given command of the Tredegar,
on which he did good service until
the service was discontinued. He
then devoted himself to farming In
1888 he was made manager of the
Scott farm, near Cape Charles, the
largest truck farm in Virginia, which
he conducted with eminent success
up to the time of his death.
Captain Browne was man OF fine
abilities, broad and conservative; a
hard student of economic science. He
was prog ressive in his views, and his
life was given to the agricultural in.
terests of his people. He was well
known throughout the State as man
striving for high ideals in his work.
He had a generous heart, was a kind
Itch bor n I'D +r,,a frioD6
He will be missed by his peoples
whose agricultural interests have re-
ceived severe blow in his death.
Captain Browne was married few
years ago to Miss Mary Howard, a
daughter of Major Charles Howard,
of Richmond, who, with one child,
daughter, survive him.
He will be laid to rest to-day with
his people at Mount Custis, in the old
family burying ground.

Died a. his home, near Temperance
Vile, Accomac County. Va, Septem-
Der 10th, 1898, Mr.. Edward 7. Lang,
: aged sixty five years. He was long
, and sorely afflicted. All that willing
hands and kind friends and skilful
physicians could do to relieve and
restore him, was done, but all in vain.
1.-THE cruel hand of death claimed him
for it's victim, after fourteen months
of intense suffering. lie was kind.
afrectionate husband, devoted father,
and kind neighbor. He was well
known throughout the county ana
will be greatly missed in the com
munity in which he lived He leaves
a wife and four children, w. II. Lang,
NJ. NJ Lang, Mrs. Sallie Mears and
Mrs Emmie Tindall While they
deeply feel their loss, it is his gain.
He said in his last moments, ne was
not afraid to die-all is well. May
the bereaved ones bow IN humble
submission to Gods will, who doeth
all things well.
His funeral serviceswere conducted
at his home Sunday morning by Rev.
J. j.. King, after which his remains
were inferred in the family burying
ground at his home, where the old
mulberry tree waves over him, there
to await the resurrection morning,
when Christ shall come to gather His
loved ones home. May this dispen
sation of Gods providence prove a
blessing to all his relatives and
friends, and may they have divine
Grace riyen them sufficient for the
needs Of this sad occasion, and some
sweet day may they all be reunited
in the sweet bye and bye, where no
parting word is given, no farewell
tear is shed.
All is sad within our dwelling,
Lonely is our home to-day,
The voice we loved so fondly
Has forever passed away.
Death seems cruel, yet it's just,
For the Bible tells us SO.
Earth to earth and dust to dust,
We all must surely go.
Good bye, father, husband. we shall
miss you
In our quiet little home,
But in heaven we hope to meet you
When on earth our work is done.
A FRIEND.
In memory of our darling, Roland.
who departed this life Friday, Au-
gust Goth, aged s years. Gone but
not forgotten.
Our darling Roland has left US,
And IS numbered with the dead;
He has gone to live with Jesus,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
We miss him at the table,
We miss his little prayer;
We miss his goodnight kiss,
We miss him everywhere.
When we die he'll come to meet us,
He'll call papa and mama then;
He'll say come and live with Jesus,
For He is our eternal friend.
one by one Our hopes grow brighter
AS we near the shining shore.
For we know across the river
Waits our loved ones gone before.
But in that city bright and fair
He waits for us all over there;
Lovingly at the gateway stands
And reaches out his beckonlpg
hands.
0, how sweet it will be in that beau
tiful land
When, free from all sorrow and
pain,
With song on his lips and a harp in
his hand,
We hope to meet our dear brother
in heaven.
BY HIS SISTERS AND BROTHERS.
