cher was, before her marriage, Lady
Geraldine Wingate, a daughter of
Sir Reginald Wingate, one of the
richest men in England. The fol-
lowing clipping from an English
newspaper tells of her history:
'FIf Messrs. Lloyd & Lloyd. barris-
tiers and administrators of the late
Sir Reginald o. Wingate's estate, do
not locate Lady Geraldine, only
daughter and heir, by October /, the
vast estate will go to George Win
gate, Jr., the late Sir Reginald's
nephew.
Lady Geraldine's mother, an
American by birth, insisted that her
laughter be educated in the United
States. 1t was during the young
lady's college career that she eloped
with young newspaper man.
1T was stated by members of the
Wingate family in the United States
that Lady Geraldine possessed re-
markable literary talent and was an
ardent suffragist and that her over
jealous enthusiasm led her into such
serious mis-adventures that they
were obliged to disown her. The last
heard of her was in December, 1914.
il Florida, where she had recently
married Andrew Froscher, of st.
Petersburg. An effort to locate Mr..
and Mrs. Froscher in st. Petersburg
proved futile but systematic search
| throughout the United States has
been instituted"
The local physician who attended
Mrs. Froscher when her baby was
born here last December received a
letter fom Lloyd & Lloyds American
representative asking for informa-
tion regarding the child born here.
The letter states that the mother,
| Lady Geraldine, killed herself. The
London firms representative, J. X.
Weston, says he has been able to
establish the death OF Lady Gerald
inc but cannot find the child. The
father ia said to have also been
lest since the couple and the baby
left st. Petersburg. The local ply
stefan has consulted the nurses al
the Augusta Memorial hospital in an
effort to get information that may
help to settle the estate. If the
baby is still living she is the only
heir to her grandfather's estate.
The Clipping from the English
newspaper is incorrect in stating
that MIR. Froscher lived in st. Peters
burg. 1t is understood here that NJ
came from Miami where his famil!
resided and that he was a newspaper
man-St. Petersburg Independent.

asked for information regarding the
baby that may be of value in de-
termining her identity 1t seems
that a>baby has been located but the
solicitors want to be certain it is the
right child, so the physician in st.
Petersburg is asked for marks he
observed on the child born here. II
the marks of Identification agree
then the search for the missing heir
will end.
Mr.. and Mrs Andrew Froscher
came to st. Petersburg last fall, ac-
cording to the story that is told by
the physician who knows the inside
facts. The couple were attractive
and finely educated. They stopped
| at local hotel The woman suffer
ed fall and for time was in SER
ious condition as it was feared her
baby would be born prematurely
Finally the baby was born, at the
Augusta Memorial hospital. The
mother, in the hospital, talked OF
days in England and declared she
was a member of the nobility III
England but little attention wa:
raid to this talk The couple stayed
here until last February when they
left here and since then no one ha!
heard from them.

Nelson 3. George departed this
his life May 9. 1915, at the home
of his son-in4aw, Mr.. Thos. E. Sum-
mer's, c. erryville, N. c., having
reached the ripe old age Of II years,
6 months, and 20 days. In early life
he united with the Lutheran church
and remained a faithful member till
death.
At the age of % he enlisted in the
cause of the Confederacy, Company
C., 3rd S. c.. Regiment. Kershaw's
Brigade. He was brave soldier
having fought in 27 battles, one of
which was Gettysburg where he re-
ceived a severe wound. After the
war like others of his heroic COM
rades he returned to his home in the
Dutch Fork, Lexington County, S.
c.. to rear his family and help in
building up the almost ruined South.
His wife who preceded him to the
grave some years ago was Miss lsa-
belle Shealy. To them were born Z
children 5 Of whom still survive. He
was a good old man, kind and ten
der-hearted, and always had a word
of cheer for those he met.
The last few days of his life he
suffered intensely but expressed him.
self repeatedly as ready and willing
to depart and be at rest.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by his pastor in St. Johns Luth-
eran church, Cherryville, n. c., of
which he was a member and the
body laid away beneath a mound of
roses to await the return of the
Lord Jesus. A very large congre-
cation gathered to pay the last trib-
ute to the departed.
Peace to his ashes, rest to his soul,
