CLEVELAND - Kings Mountain
Oracle, April IL: We think it would
be surprise to the farming community
if they could only see the large guam
tity of hay that is shipped here to be
sold by our merchants and liverymen.
And lots of it is sold to farmers, TOO.
.........Mrs. Dave Beam, of Shelby, was
taken suddenly and violently insane
on Saturday of last week. The first
that was noticeable in her loss of mind
was some strange actions with her lit
tie child, which she began to pinch
and to make cry. A physician was
summoned, and it was decided to re-
move her to Morganton for treatment.
.........On Sunday morning, about 8
O'Clock, Angeline, the daughter of Mr..
James McGinnis, peacefully fell asleep
and her spirit quietly took its depart
ure from its home of clay and winged
it's fight to keep company with the
departed ones of earth. Her death
was attended by many sad circum-
stances. A young woman of % years,
she had during the past few months
assisted in the care of the sick in her
fathers family, of whom there were
six sick in bed at one time, and finally
herself was stricken with fever from
which she was partially recovered
when she took pneumonia, from which
she never recovered. She was buried
Monday in the cemetery at Long
Creek. Shelby Aurora, April IL: Mr..
William A. Wray, of Caroleen, N. g.,
died last Wednesday morning after a
lingering illness, aged 81 years. He
had been a great sufferer for several
years with rheumatism, but he bore
his suffering with great fortitude. He
was, for number of years, a worthy
and valued citizen of this county, high
toned, honorable, quiet and lawabid-
ing, the county mourns his death. For
several years he was engaged in the
mercantile business in Shelby /; but ow'
ing to ill health was forced to remove
to quiet, country life. He was brave
and gallant Confederate soldier-loyal
and steadfast-and his many old COM
rades in arms, will drop tear upon
his grave. He was also worthy and
consistent member of the Baptist
church, true to his church and his
Master. The remains were brought to
Shelby for interment on Thursday, and
were laid to rest in Mountain View,
under the sod of the country he loves
so well. A widow and six children
survive him as follows: Mrs. Kate
Elan, Mrs. S. W. Whisonant, Miss
Annie Wray, David, William and
Charlie Wray. He was also brother
of our townsman, John S. Wray, and
Mrs. Jane Harrill, Mrs. NJ. L. Carroll,
Mrs. Kate Borders, of this place, and
DR.. James Wray, of Henry, N. G. To
the bereaved ones we tender our deep
sympathy in their hour of sad affiiction.
