DEATH OF Mr.. W. S. WALDEN.
An Old and Well Known Citizen
Passes Away After Long Sickness
and Suffering.

Mr.. William S. Walden, an old and
we'll known citizen, died at his home
in this place about 7 o'clock Friday
evening. He had been sick a long
time and for several days before he
died, the end had been looked for
momentarily. Mr.. Walden was a
mechanic by trade and was a skilled
workman. But for several years he
had been enfeebled in both mind and
body to such extent that he was able
to do but little work. He was a great
sufferer but as he himself expressed
it perhaps his affection had been for
his own good.
Mr.. Walden was an ex-Confederate
soldier and served his State and the
Southland well during that sad and
sanguinary conflict. He was an in
mate of the Soldiers Home in Raj
eigh for awhile but realizing that his
days on earth were bat few at best
he preferred to return and pass his
last moments in the company of his
faithful and devoted wife and in the
midst of his friends. Deceased would
have been 60 years old had he lived
until March. He leaves an aged wife
and one son, Mr.. Herbert H. Walden.
Conscious of his condition he liter
ally ''set his house in order previous
to his final departure. He selected
the hymns that he wished sung at his
funeral and named the friends he de-
sired to act as pail bearers. Mr..
Walden was member of the Presby-
teriar church from which the funeral
was held at $50 o'clock Sunday morn
ing. The pastor, Rev. A. r. Shaw,
conducted the service, his remarks
being very appropriate and full of
tender feeling. He spoke eloquently
Of the old soldiers, those who wore
the Gray and those who wore the
Blue, the rapid depletion of their thin
and scattered ranks, and the duty we
owe to them. Then he spoke of the
soldiers Of the Cross and drew q beau
tiful smile between the two applying
the lesson emphasized by the solemn
occasion.
The body was inferred in the Con-
federate Square at the cemetery, the
second one of these noble old heroes
to enter that eternal "camping
ground" to await the reveille and
answer the roll call on the resurrec-
ton morn

SUDDEN DEATH.
The Community Shocked Yesterday
Morning by the Sudden Demise of q
Well Known Citizen.

The people OF the town were greatly
panied and surprised yesterday morn
ing at the announcement of Mr.. L. B.
fancey's death which occurred the
| night before at the residence of Mai.
j. f. Harris, his brother-in- law.
where he made his home. Tuesday
| night Mr.. Yancey attended the week
OF prayer services at the Presbyterian
church and was apparently as well as
usual. Returning home he became
sick later in the night and died al
most suddenly before medical aid
could reach him.
Mr.. Yancey had not been in good
health for year or two. He had re-
duced much in flesh and strength but
it was not generally known that a
fatal malady in the form of some
kidney trouble was rapidly under
mining his constitution and hasten
ing him to his end.
In the death of "Dip" Yancey. as he
was Familiarity known, good man
has passed away. He was quiet and
modest in his manner, good natured
and even tempered, liked joke and
could take one as we'll as give it. He
was popular with all his associates
and many hearts are saddened by his
passing away.
We never knew Mr.. Yancey to say
a harsh or unkind thing of any man.
If he could not speak we'll of one he
preferred to say nothing. Perhaps he
came as near doing unto others as he
| would have them do unto him as
| most men do.
Deceased was a brother of the late
George H. Yancey, one of Vance
county's best citizens, who served it
well and faithfully in its formative
period in the sos as member of the
Board of County Commissioners.
Another brother, John A. Yancey,
died some years before. He is sur
vived by three sisters, Mrs. Hunter.
of Texas; Mrs. Theophilus Hill, of
Raleigh, and Mrs. J. F. Harris, of
Henderson.
The funeral will be held from the
Methodist Protestant church at 3
o'clock this afternoon. Interment at
the cemetery.
