Dargan. 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. As his pas
tor for four years on the Snow Hill
Circuit, I was always made to feel
welcome when visiting in his home.
He was the preacher's friend He
had faith in God, trusted in Christ
as his Savior, realizing that he was
neanng the end he expressed him
self as not fearing to die. Said he
was prepared to go. He knew Jesus
loved Him, and was trusting in IV m

.1918.
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.
Brother Foy was a consistent and
consecrated member of Wesleyan
Chapel, M. E. Church. South, at
Scott's Hill. He was a trustee ot
the Church and parsonage, eer
ready to give of his means and Ins
time for the advancement of the
Master's cause.
