Dortch, beloved wife OF Mr.. Ell. P.
Dortch, went forth unto Sod who gave
it, and with her going away came sor-
row sincere to every heart that knew
her in this community, white and
black alike, for she was universally be-
loved and her death will be universally
mourned.
For many months Mrs. Dortch had
been far from we'll, out SO cheerful was
she always, so interested in her family
and solicitous for their peace OF mind
and happiness, that she bore her fatal
malady with a cheertulness that was
more than heroic, and even when at
last forced to take her bed she still was
cheerful ever, even to the very end. so
that her death, though expected for
weeks, falls with none the less crush
ing sorrow upon her bereaved hus-
band and children, and they can hardly
realize that she has gone to her "lone
home"
The deceased, through all herglife in
Goldsboro, was aver the personfcatior
home as wife and mother, or il
the community as neighbor, ever
ready to do a cheerful service, solicitors
wherever sickness Frustrated or sor
row lowered, charitable to the needy
kind to all. Truly can it be said of her
"none knew her but to owe her: non'
named her but to praise"
Mrs. Dortch was in the sixtieth yea
of her age and is survived by her hus
band and five children-Mrs. Charlie
