resident Of Shepherdstown and we'll
known Confederate veteran. has an.
yered the last roll.call and crossed
over the river to rest in the shade Of
the trees. For several months past
he had been gradually failing. and a
week or two ago it became apparent
that the end was approaching. Sat
urday evening last, at about eight
o'clock, he quietly passed away at his
home on New street, aged 68 years.
Mr.. Unseld was born and raised in
Shepherdstown and nearly all his life
was spent here. When the war broke
out he enlisted in Company B. Second
Virginia Regiment, Stonewall Brigade,
and was brave and gallant soldier.
At the second battle of Manassas,
where the Shepherdstown Company
lost 80 heavily, he received wound
that disabled him permanently, and
ever afterward he was lame as the re-
suit of the injury. When he had re-
covered from his wound be was de-
tailed to special duty in Richmond,
and rendered acceptable service to the
Confederacy until the close of the war.
After the war he returned to Shep.
herdstown, and for time conducted
store here. though he gave this up
after few years. Mr.. Unseld was a
man Of much intelligence and was a
great reader, being particularly de-
voted to history. He was independ-
emit in his views and was able in ar
gument to defend his position. He
was of blameless character, and in his
relations to others always exercised a
broad christian charity and kind
ness in judgment that evidenced the
generous heart of the man. He was
one of the oldest members of Mt.
Nebo Lodge of Masons, and he loved
the order with all his heart. He was
also an exemplary member of Trinity
Episcopal Church. He is survived by
his wife and one son, George P. I'm
seld, and one brother, Prof. B. G. I'm
seld. His funeral was held Monday
morning, the services being conducted
by Rev. Montague E. Webb, in the
Episcopal church. He was buried In
Elmwood Cemetery, his brethren Of
Mt. Nebo Lodge giving him the full
burial honors of the order.
1t is with much regret that we re-
cord the death of Mrs. Margie Boteler
Barlow Ogden, which occurred on
Thursday, August "a. at her home at
Littleton, Colorado. Mrs. Ogden,
who as Margie Boteler is SO well re-
membered here, was "a years of age.
She was daughter Of the late Henry
Boteler, and was bright and lovable
girl who had wide circle Of friends.
She and her sister Virginia, now Mrs.
Louis j. Millet, left hers some fifteen
years ago, or more, aud made their
home in Evanston, later moving to
Chicago, where she atterward married
Mr.. John William Barlow. Soon at
ter his death seven years ago she went
to Colorado, hoping to be cured of
lung trouble that had developed. A
year ago she married Mr.. Ogden, an
expert chemist and assayer Of Denver.
For the past five months she had been
very ill and suffered great deal, and
an attack Of grip brought on the end.
Her sister, Mrs. Millet, who is now
living in Chicago, was with her when
she died. She is survived by one
son, Charles Boteler Barlow, eleven
years old, the child of her first hus-
band. Another son died four years
ago. She was buried at Littleton on
Friday. Her old friends in this sec
ton greatly regret that so sweet a
character has been taken from earth
andis no more.
Mr.. James McMurran, native of
the vicinity of Shepherdstown, died
last Sunday at his home in Hillsville,
Va, aged about 81 years. He had
been in declining health the past year
or two, and it will be recalled that he
had severe fall in tn. Entler Hotel
last spring that still further enfeebled
him when he was here to attend the
funeral of his sister, Miss Lula Nc.
Murran. The death Of Mr.. 'McMur-
ran removes the last of the family
that was once prominent in this neigh
borhood, his father, the late Joseph
McMlrran, having been large land
holder in this section years ago. The
deceased was a high-minded, courte-
GUS christian gentleman whose kind
illness of heart and lovable traits of
character endeared him to all who
knew him. Honorable and upright,
gentle in manner and considerate and
exemplary in all things, his passing
will be sincerely regetted by his old
friends here. Mr.. McMurran left
here while ayoung man, and when the
war broke out entered the Confeder-
ate service, in which he rendered a
good account until the great struggle
was ended. He afterwards engaged
in merchandise, and was for a time
postmaster of his adopted town. He
is survived by his wife, one son, James
Early McMarran, and one daughter,
Mrs. kellogg. He was buried at
Hillsville.
