HERBERT D. PEELE & CO
TMM JBWBUtBf-
DR. WILLIAM H. HARRELL.
One of Martins' Most Highly
Respected atlzen Laid To
Rest Tuesday Morning.
Dr. Wm. H. Harrell died Sun
, 1,30 p. m. of pneumonia be
ing taken with a chill on the pre
ceeding Tuesday night. His
health had been better than usual
for the last few months and it was
indeed an unlooked for turn in his
condition when the public became
aware of tbe seriousness of the sit
uation, that pneumonia of a malig
' nant type bad developed. He had
all the attention and relief that
skilled physicisns, trained nurses
and loving hands could give but
> his end hsd come. Dr. Harrell
had suffered with Brights disease
for years snd last winter hid a
slight case of pneumonia but other
wise hsd been a stroug and vigor
ous man.
I Dr. Harrell leaves a wife aud
three children Wm. H. Jr age 10
1 years, James Edwin named for his
grandfather age 7 year-, and a lit
tle girl Sarah Moore ag\e 10
months, two brothers Mess. S H.
and Robert Harrell and a sister
Miss Mittie Harrell. His wife was
Miss Elizabeth Moore the daughter
of the late J. E. Moore to whom he
was married on January 29. 1893.
His people have been for gener
ations residents of Martin County
his father was clerk of the Super
ior Court of the County and held
a number of public positions. Dr.
Harrell was a member of the
County Board of Health and Coun
ty physician, having held the lat
ter position for sixteen years con
tinuously regsrdless of party or
politics. He was universally liked
and beloved. That man or woman
does not live who can say that Dr.
Harrell ever mistreated them He
was not a member of any church
but was a member of the Masonic
order of high standing being a
great lover of masonry and having
worked through a number of de
grees
That he was beloved by the
| people of this county was attested
by the number of people who , at
tended his funeral ou Tuesday. Hi
was buried with Misonic ceremony
with a hundred or more present
besides a great concourse of peo
\ pie who followed the hearse to the
! Baptist Cemetery. Funeral sec.
mon was preached by Rev Mr.
Hassell at the home Here his
home and grave were surrounded
by people whom be had visited
when sickness and death had Visit
ed their homes or whose pains he
had relieved and who respected him
in that most serious and sacred re
lations of family physician. It
was one of the two largest attend
ed funerals in the memory of
now living here.
He has made aplace in the life
of this community that cannot be
easily filled. The doctor knows
our individual weaknesses and se
crets which are sacred and solemn
obligations. He comes to the home
with terror and anxiety in liis
heart but with the smile of confi
dence that releives distress, he
brings to your trouble God's great
viles of healing. When death has
claimed its own he soothes the pain
and attords an easy passage. These
are the offices of a physician, that
Dr. Ha'rell met these demands
ted fiiled these offices is attested
to bf tbe fact that he died Sunday
the moat beloved man in the coun
ty and community.
