The editor of The Review in the
course of time has had to chronicle
many sad and untimely deaths but
as a fraternal brother none that
panied us more from every stand
point than the sudden passing OF
Edward H. Farriss under suchheart-
/ rending circumstances.
1t is so sad to have been cut down
right On the threshold of young
manhood, only d few hours after the
death of his father-in- law, to whose
bedside he had been called; so mex
tpressibly sad on account of the
bride of only a few short months,
Ebereft of father and husband within
Ia few strokes of the clock. Such a
pity for the two families in this their
Egreatest of Affections.
+ Words are inadequate at such a
time to express the deepest emo
tions of the heart and place them in
cold type for the reader, but all
those connected by family ties can
rest assured that the people feel for
them. with that great big brotherly
love that helps to soothe and sus-
tain and reach out helping hand
that beats in unison with the heart
| that kind of near-feeiing that
| makes the thorn on the rosebush of
life seem insignificant to the large,
tender, beautiful flower of love and
sympathy. which with Divine assist
ance. helps to bear the deepest sor-
rows.
Early Sunday morning at Wash
ington. N. c., Mr.. Farriss was aroused
from his bed and told that MIR. Viii
lis, his father-in law, had died in the
hospital there. Hastily dressing to
60 to the side of his wife and the
subsequent emotional feeling and
shock was TOO much for the big
hearted man who died almost sud-
denly. before assistance could ar
rive.
Mr.. Farriss was connected with
his brother, J. J.)Farriss. in the con-
duct of the Enterprise printing office
and was on the staff of the Daily
Enterprise. He was young man
of ability, good at heart and gener-
Gus in his views of his fellow man.
Before connecting himself with the
newspaper business he practiced
law, having graduated at the Uni
versity law school.
About two years ago he married
Miss Mabel Willis, of Washington,
who with two brothers. survive to
mourn their loss.
Mr.. J. J. Farriss and family left
on the early morning train Sunday
to attend the funeral obseQuies. The
remains of Mr.. Edw. H.. Farriss,
and Mr.. E. K. Willis, his father-in-
law, were Inferred In Washington.
Mr.. Willis died only short
time before Mr.. Farriss from
an aggravated case of appendicitis
He was one of Washington's most
respected and beloved citizens and
the whole town mourns his loss.
/ The double funeral was attended
by one of the largest crowds ever
present on an occasion of death in
that part of the state. The floral
offerings were many and very beau
tiful
May their eternal lot be cast with
those who can feel no sorrow, expe-
rience no pain.
The following beautiful and touch
ing poem on the death of Mr.. Farriss
was written by our talented poet,
Mr. w. H. Dugdale:
