Major T. C. Elder.

MAJOR IhOmaS y. Elder one OF the
| oldest and most honored members OF
Staunton bar, died after short illness
of pneumonia at bis residence in this
city on Sunday morning last at II
O'Clock. So brief was his illness that
the community did not realize that be
was sick until Saturday. Major Elder
was a man of slender frame and ap-
parently delicate, but withal was a
man of wonderful energy and endur-
ance. He was in his Office until the
day he was taken sick, and gave close
personal attention to his ex tensive law
practice until few days before his
death. His law firm was Elder& Ed er,
composed of himself and his son, FItz-
hugh Elder, and was one of the best
known in the State. 1t is not our
intention here to speak of the virtues
of Major Elder. they were many and
conspic uous. but other tongues have
told these better than we could, and
we will let these virtues shine as they
have been made to, in resolutions passed
by the Stau nton bar, amplified by per-
sonal expressions of individual mem
bers. These will appear in the SPEC
TATOR next week. 1t was our pleasure,
however, to enjoy an intimate person
al acquaintance with, and the friend
ship of Major Elder, and these have
left with bis departure memory of
virtues seldom found go abundantly
in any person of our acquaintance.
Six children survive him-Misses
May, Annie, Grace and F Tor ence, and
Mr.. Fitzhugh Elder of this city, and
Mr.. Z. G. Elder, Jr., of Washington.
The funeral was held from Trinity
Episcopal church of which he was a
member and an officer, at 8 O'Clock on
Tuesday afternoon and was largely
attended. In the church were white
hangings and many flowers. The cas-
ket was almost hidden from view by
the wreaths of flowers and many beau
tiful floral designs, and large punches
of other flowers were carried by the
honorary pail bearers.
The services were conduct ed by the
Rev. w. Q. Hullihen, rector, assisted
by the Rev. R. G. Jett, rector of En-
manuel Episcopal church, and the
hymns LEAD Kindly Light" and
Forever with the Lord, were apprO-
priately and feeling rendered by the
choir. The interment was in Thorn
