Eli N. Dargan was born in Anson County, N. C, April 3, 1837, and departed this life in Fuquay, N. C, in the home of his son, Rev. M. W. Dargan, of the North Carolina Conference, on the 15th day of April, 1918. Age 81 years, 12 days. He had been in feeble health for some years, but was confined to his bed only three days before he died. He was married when a young man to Miss Virginia Wall, daugh ter of Wylie and Martha Wall, of Anson County. Two children were born unto them, a daughter, who died in infancy, and a son, Rev. M. W. Dargan. Soon after his marriage he moved to the eastern part of the State and made their home in Greene County until the death of his wife, seven years ago, after which he made his home with his son. Brother Dargan was converted and joined the Methodist Church about 35 years ago, and remained a loyal member of the same through life. He served the Church faithfuLy as steward and trustee for a number of years. He was faithful in his at tendance on the services of the sanctuary. His home was always open to the preacher.

In early life, the cares and re sponsibilities of a largo estate wi on his young shoulders. imt wit! prudent management and the coun sel and advice of a gifted mother, the estate grew and prospered. In young manhood his friends ana neighbors recognized his ability as a leader among men. He was elected on the Board of County Commit doners in which capacity he served for about twelve years. lie repre sented his county in the Legislature of North Carolina for several terms, also as Senator from Pender and Duplin Counties, all of which he served with great satisfaction to his people and credit to himself. His attitude in every question was always determined by the right and justice of the issue, always on (h? moral side, and the uplift of his fej lowmen. His neighbors always sought his advice and counsel, which ho would gladly give. His leisure hours were spent in his home, never idling away hi time but was always employed in a profitable way. For the last few years of his life he was not actively engaged in his favorite occulta! inn. but he kept up with every detail on his large farm. Many a weary traveler has found rest and comfort in his large pala tial home, whose doors were ever open to his friends. His heart was as soft and tender as ever heat in a human breast. No appeal for as sistance for the needy was ever turn ed away empty handed. What he did was not don ewith a Thareai cal nature, but his right hand never knew what his left had done.
