suddenly that morning. He arose
seemingly as we'll as usual, only he
had slight cold; but he made no

backyard sometime before breakfast
time. When his wife had prepared
breakfast she called him to come to it.
Waiting awhile she again called. Get
ting no answer again, she went out to
see where he could be. She found
him in the cold embrace of death. In
the twinkling of an eye the summons
had come-alone, probably without a
pain or struggle, he had passed to the
great beyond. An inquest was held
and a verdict returned of death from
natural causes, probably apoplexy or
paralysis of the heart. P. NJ. Plyler
was born and reared in Chesterfield
county. Since 1876 be resided in the
eastern section Of this county until
within the past year, when he moved
to Lancaster. He was about rs years
of aye, and by industry, economy aud
good management, had accumulated
considerable property. At one time he
was the largest real estate owner in
the county, and was probably the third

was a member of the Methodist church
and for years had been local preach
