Capt. W. G. Vance died of heart
failure at his residence on Travis
street, Shreveport, on last Thurs
day, October 6, 1898, aged IS years.
Capt. Vance was born at Spartan
burg, S. G. He attended school
first at Columbia, and later finished
his education, at the Citadel in
Charleston. From there he went
with corps of cadets who fred the

Vance went Immediately to Virgin
ia, where he was wounded several
times in the service of his country.
severe cut in his face telling the
tale of his gallantry and devotion
to the land that he loved. Having
received a military education and
being we'll equipped for the position,
he was elected Captain of bis Com
pany, and served with distinction
in the End South Carolina Regiment,
which was in Lougstrcet's corps,
until the end Of the war.
After the war he moved to this
parish and engaged in the mercan-
tile business at Collinsburg. For
nearly thirty years he has been en-
gagged in farming, and until few
years ago, lived on one of his plan
tations, few miles below Benton,
when he moved to Shreveport, but
claimed his citizenship in this par
ish. AT the time of his death he
was President of the Bossier Leveo
Board.
1t has been said that every mans
place can be filed by some other
man; that death may make void
of which the world is sensible for a
moment, but the void is filled as
water fills the momentary void caus-
ed by the withdrawal of finger
placed in basin. But there are
some men who are missed; it may
| not be for years and it may not be
forever, but they are missed
Among men of this sort is the man
| of the character of Cal Vance, as
he was Familiarity called by his host
of friends. A gallant soldier, a
successful business man, a loyal
citizen and friend, devoted hus,
band and father, a splendid manly
men, the part he played in his coun-
try's affairs was an important one,
and be played his part we'll. He
will be missed. Peace to his ashes
Capt. Vance leaves a wife, two
grown sons and daughter to mourn
his death, which the coincidence OIL
friends cannot assuage.
The remains of Captain Vance
we're buried at Shreveport Friday
evening, a very large number o.
