CHESTER.
Reporter, June 6: Judge Joshua
H. Hudson in conversation with a re-
porter Tuesday morning at the sta
ton, recalled an interesting coinci-
dence in the manner in which Capt.
]. s. Wilson and Col. ]. r. Culp, both
Judge of probate Of Chester county,
died. Capt. Wilson was stricken at
his desk and died shortly after being
removed to his home, while Colonel
Culp's call was even more sudden.
Both were men we'll advanced in years
and both were true and tried soldiers.
While in Richmond last week
Capt. E. P. Moore had the pleasure OF
meeting Mrs. Norman V. Randolph OF
Richmond, whom he knew In her
mothers home at Warrenton during
the war as Miss Janet Weaver. AT
the second battle of Manassas Capt.
Moore was painfully wounded, and the
fortune of war or some higher and
more benignant fortune lodged him In
the home of this hospitable virginia
family, where the sweet and gentle
solicitude Of the bright and vivacious
girl soon brought health and strength
back to the wounded soldier. Captain
Moore has cherished the incident In
his mind during the years, laying II
away among his choicest memories,
and the meeting was indeed pleasure
able. Mrs. Randolph stated that the
old family mansion at Warrenton had
passed into the hands of strangers,
like so many of the other old ances-
trail seats of the Old Dominion. and so
dear and so sacred to her heart are
the ties that link her to the place and
its legends and its memories that she
has allowed the stranger to keep un-
molested his vigils in the halls that
once echoed to the tones and tread or
her fathers. -. Another old veteran
has answered roll call on the other
side, where are being gathered so rap
idly the remnants of that host that
fought the south's battles in 1S61-'65.
Mr.. R. w. Stricken, who has been con-
fined to his room for the last five
weeks, passed away this morning at
about eight o'clock at his home on
Pinckney street. He had been grad
ually sinking for the last few days, but
his death this morning was sudden
and unexpected. He was sitting on
the side of his bed just after having
eaten breakfast, when the summons
came and in a few moments the tired
heart had ceased to palpitate. Mr.
Stricken was in his sixty seventh year.
He was born and reared near China
Grove, n. c., but came to Chester
when a young man. At the outbreak
Of the war Mr.. Stricken enlisted in
the Chester Blues under the COM
mand of Capt E. c. Mcclure, which
went into the service as Co. F, Sixth
regiment. After the reorganization of
the different commands Mr.. Stricken
became a member Of Co. I, Sixth reg
iment, which was under the command
of the late Capt. VIM. McAliley.
