DEATHS


Mr.. Marlborough Pegues drop.
ped over on his desk in his office
at Greenville, S. c., Tuesday af.
ternoon about 4 o'clock, and with.
out a struggle the Reaper took
the toll. For the past several
months he had been in poor
health, and for some days was at
"a Columbia hospital where it was
thought he could not. survive.
He was suffering from angina
pectoris; however, more recently
he battled with such determine.
ton that he even regained a fair
degree of his usual health. And
so his sudden death comes as a
shock to his friends
The funeral will be held at
Greenville Thanksgiving Day at
1890 o'clock. Going from Rock.
.ingham for the funeral were Mrs.
w. c. Leak and Mrs. Frank
Brooks Pegues, sisters of the
deceased, Mr.. and Mrs. w. N.
Everett, Randolph Pegues, Will
liam Leak, /. S. London and Miss
Mary Louise Everett. Mrs. Paul
Hammond went from Welch, w.
Va.
Mr.. Pegues was about 50 years
old. He was a son of the late
Rev. Randolph and Nancy Giles
pie Pegues. He is survived by
his wife, who was Miss Susanne
Payne, and five children: Sus.
anne, Marlborough, Jr,, Effie
Lloyd, Frances and Lena Everett;
and twosisters, Mrs. F. B. Pegues
and Mrs. w. c. Leak.
Especially distressing to the
bereaved wife is the fact that on
Nov. 18th she lost her mother, a
train having killed her at Suffolk.
MIR. Pegues was born and rear
ed at the old Pegues home just
across the State line, in Marlboro
county. For some years he lived
in Charlotte, then at Pelham and
for the last dozen Or so years in
Greenville. He was one of the
most patient of men, friendly,
frank and sincere. His kindli.
ness, his good hamor and his re-
ligion were as unassuming as his
manner of living. And it can
truly be said that wherever the
of gold of this world
go in the hereafter, Marlborough
Pegues will be there.
