His faithful wife returned 10 War
rensburg. fingered 3 few months, then
went on TO join heI husband. She died
November 3, 1880. They had no
children. A w~arrensbutg paper of
November 4, 1850, said: "Humanny
affords no better model than that eN-
hibited in the life Of Mrs. Rulings.
For several years before the civil war
Chapel Hill college went down rapidly
Railroads were being built or project
ed IN more favored localities and this
only added TO the natural ISOLATION of
this place. Schools were springing up
In more accessible towns. Chapel Hall
college had no endowment fund and
no income except from tuition. Thus
was inadequate, for the high standard
maintained caused the expenses TO be
great and the school a heavily in
debt. In 1880 the Synod Of Missouri
appointed Mr.. Ridlngs as its agent to
dispose Of the school and settle It's bus
mess. 1t was sold to the Southern
Metbodists, and the agent after paying
all its liabilities, reported the net pro-
ceeds a only $500.
The war was now iminent. Peo-
pie lost Interest in education, The
school suspended. Chapel Hill was
the border land between the jsyhawkers
and the bushwhackers, and it suffered
from the depredalions of both. Nearly
all the inhabitants who could bear
arms took one side or the other Of the
great struggle and most of the others
sought refuge in safer places.
On the night Of Monday, March 20,
1868, came the end. Union soldiers
had been there and at one time used
the college building as barracks. The
time might come when they would
return and fortity themselves in this
solid old building. To prevent this a
number of young men in the neigh
borhood, at 8 time when no danger
was Imlnent, quietly applied the
torch. At 10 O'Clock on the night of
March 20, without any warning, flames
were seen issuing from the college.
Il had been unused for some time, but
still contained all the furniture and
fixtures. No one dared approach close
enough to see who was doing the
incendiary work. No effort was made
to ave the building, and soon ii was
10 ruins. Part Of the walls stood for
many years after tho war. The stone
was gradually carried away and used
for other purposes, and now little
remains. A few months after the
college was burned the rest Of the town
suffered q similar fate. Its history
since .he war has been uneyentful.
