AfimVldONFEllERATE VETERAN DIES AT CERRO GORDO Stephen Brown i'nsses—Interment in Mearca cemetery near Fair Muff. Correspondence of The Robeaonian. Cerro Gordo, Jan.29.—Columbus and Robeson counties are fast losing the Confederate veterans. The !at- j est to go to his eternal home in Col-t umbus was Stephen Brown, on last! Wednesday. Mr. Brown was more: than 80 years old. He was a native of South Carolina, but when his health failed some eight or ten years ago he came to Cerro Gordo and since had made his home with his daughter. Mrs. Gertrude Stone, near town. His death is attributed to the infirmities of age. He had been quite feeble for some time and his demise came as no surprise to those who knew-his condition. Burial was made in the Meares cemetery near Fair Biuff on Thurs day afternoon by the side of a broth er, Hugh Brown, who preceded him to the grave four or five years age. Deceased is survived by one broth er, West Brown, of Cerro Gordo, one son, Frank Brown, of Marion, S C., and two daughters, Mrs. Stone and Miss Mary Brown, of Cerro Gordo. Mr. Brown was a quiet and unas suming man, and was counted as a good neighbor and citizen. t'-nrt.r.tr, OF WILSON SARCOPHAGUS PN WASHPNGTON CATHEDRAL Wasitington,—The work of setting in place the sarcophagus, erected for Woodrow Wi!son in the Bethlehem Chapet of the Washington Cathedra! was brought to completion last week.
