WILMINGTON, N. C MONDAY. FEBRUARY 13. 1882 : NO 37
Gen. U'lliiam McRae.
The startling and distressing news of
the death of General William McRae
was received- heie yesterday morning.
He died at the Globe Hotel, in Augusta,
Gu ou last Saturday night, of a con
gestivo chill. i '..
Gen. McRae was on his way to this
city at the time of hia death. He had
itopped in Augusta last; Wednesday on
business; for a day or two and while there
was taken sick. He thought but little
of it aod even on Saturday, the last day
of bia life, he wa9 dressed and able to
appear down stairs several times during;
the day. He did not notify his relative8
here of his illness as he probably did not
look upon it as at all dangerous. On
Saturday eveuing. however, bo was so
ill that a physiciau was called in who
did everything possible for his relief but
without avail. He was seized with a
congestive chill ond at 9:40 o'clock he
breathed his last. The suddenness of
the attack is well illustrated by Ihe fact
that an hour before his death Gen. Mc
Rae called for paper and a ; pencil and
sitting up in bed endeavored to write a
letter. This he was top feeble to ac
complish and the nurse, removing the
pencil from his lingers remarked to him
that he had best lie back and rest, as he
could not write. He assented, remark
ing in reply that it seemed that he was
too weak, and these were probably his
last words on earth. !
His relatives in this city were notified
of his death and telegraphed at once for
the necessary arrangements to be made,
Capt. Walter G. McRae leaving one
homr alter on the South bound train for
Augasta. Capt. MeRae arrived there
vesterdav . morning and returned this
- i . i
morning with the body, which was car
ried to St. James' Church. The funeral
services took place this afternoon; at 3
o'clock and all that is mortal of the la
mented deceased now reposes in the
beautiful shades at Oakdale, and almost
upon the very spot where his boyhood
was passed.1 The services were conduct
ed by Rev. Dr. Watson and the pall,
hearers were Ma). C. M. S ted man, Capt.
W. P. Oldham, Hon.- George Davis, Col.
W. L. DeRosset, Capt. Henry lavage,
Col. D. K. McRae, Col. John W. Atkin
son and Maj. T. H. McKoy.
Gen. Win. McRf.a was born in this city
Sept. 9th, 1834, end was therefore 47
yean, 5 months and 2 days old at the
time of his death. He was the son of
General Alexander McRae, who was for
raany.years President of the Wilmington
& Weldon R. R. Geh. McRae, Sr., was
mirried twice and had nine children, all
sons, of whom but three are now
left. When a young man Gen
eral' William McRae was j sent
to Philadelphia, to I. P. Morris &
Co.'s machine shops, where he remained
for several years, and until he had learn
ed the trade. He then returned to North
Carolina and was employed in the sur
vey of the Wilmington & Manchester
R. R. The breaking jout of the war
found him at Monroe, in this State, and
ho at once enlisted as a' private. He af
terwards raised a company of his own
and was commissioned as its Captain,
and when this company was afterwards
thrown into the 10th N. C. Regiment
on tho organization of that regiment,
Capt. McRae was elected Colonel of the
regiment. , He was promoted to be Brig
adier General a short time subsequent to
the battles of the Wilderness, and about
the first of June, 1864. General McRae
returned to Wilmington at the close1 of
the war, and was, not' long afterwards,
appointed General Engineer and Super
intendent of the I Wilmington & Man
chester R. R. Subsequently he resigned
this position to accept a similar one on
the Macon & Brunswick R. R., and he
afterwards accepted the position of Gen
eral Manager on the Western t Atlantic
R. Rn of which U. S. Senator Joseph
B. Brown is the j President. While in
this position, he was some two years
since offered the place of General
Manager of the Carolina Central R. Rf
and he came to th is city to look into the
matter, and went over the road, bat de
clined to accept the position and returned
to Atlanta. Some few weeks ago he re
signed this position, and was,; as we have
said, on bis way to this city when he was
stricken down in Augusta. I
Gen. McRae was accounted ons of the
best railroad managers in the entire
country. He enjoyed a reputation in
this line that but few hare achieved in so
tcaparatiTely short a space of tint, and
there are but few imlroadta ia tfcs

South whose services have been bo
sought after, and perhaps not one who
has declined so many eligible offers as he
has- Heuwas a man of singular reserve
in his intercourse with others, and of in
domitable will and self-reliance, nehad
worked his way up from the ranks in his
profession as ho did from the ranks in the
army1, and he therefore knew, moat thor
oughly how to enter into the feelings of
those who were Under him. When his
friendship was given, it was given hearti
ly and without reserve, and he was truly
tho friend of the employes of hisroad, while
not in any way ncgiectiug Ihe interests
of those whom he himself served. He
vras crelei?8 of money where his own in
terests were concerned, and dispensed it
with a lavish hand. His character in
this respect is well . illustrated by the
following incident, which we have heard
narrated as a fact. Some tiine since in.
structions were issued to Gen. McRao
from headquarters, to cut down the pay
of the employes of the road under him
ten per cent. This he declined to dot
stating is bis reply that if any reduc
tion was made, it should begin at the
President and go through the entire
corps ot officials, stating that he him
self was perfectly willing to see his own
salary reduced, if his suggestions wero
complied with. The reduction was no
made, and this fact but added another
link to the esteem in which Gen. McRae
was held by all of the employes of his
road.
It is said that Gen. McRae resigned
the position of General Manager of the
Atlanta fc Western R.R.withont any def.
inite object in view, but that as soon as
the fact became generally1 known he re
ceived several handsome ofiers, one of
which, which came from Florida, he had
inconsideration at tho time of his death.
His untimely decease in the prime of
his life and of his usefulness' has been
deeply deplored and his pl&oe will not
easily be filled. His friends and admirers
are numbered by the thousand and are
scattered all over the Southern States.
Peace to the ashes of the gallant soldier,
the unswerving friend, the incorrptible
official and the aoble man.
We close this brief notice by copying
here a hurried notice of his death as it
appeared in yesterday morning's issue of
he Augusta ChrenicU;
Last night, at 9:40, Gen. Wm. MacRae
breathed Lis last at the Globe Hotel, I in
this city. ( .
Last Wednesday, 8 th inst.. he arrived
in Augusta for Wilmington and reg
istering, "Wm. MacRae, North Caro
lina," was assigned to room No. 6. ! For
the past two or three days he has been
feeling badly, although yesterday morn
ing he came down stairs and seemed
able to get about. Last .evening, how
ever, hewas seized with a chill, and Dr,
R. G. Hitt was summoned to his bedside.
Everything possible was done for his
relief, but it was early evident that his
disease was most vigorous in its attack
and alarming in its nature, and at twen
ty minutes to ten General MacRae died,
from congestion of the lungs. His body
was soon taken charge of by an under
taker and prepared for the shroud. He
was alone iu the city, and his remains
will lie in state at the Globe until to
morrow, when relatives will reach the
city. Mr. Walter MacRae, of Wilming
ton, N. C, brother of the deceased, was
immediately informed of the death of the
General, and mideall directions by tele
graph as to the disposition of the body.
Col. R. H. Anderson, of Atlanta, Super
intendent of the Western and Atlantic
Railroad, was also wired of the occur
rence. The dead man had received every
attention and care from Messrs. Atkin
son and their employes of the Globe Ho
iel, who have also taken charge of the
body, and will turn it over to his brother
to-morrow.
Gen. MacRae was one of the foremost
railroad officials of the South. As a
civil engineer and manager, he had no
superior, and until three months ago had
been Superintendent of the Western and
Atlantic Railroad. Lately he had been
interested in building the Belt Railroad
around Atlanta, and was probably in
Augusta on business appertaining to
that enterprise.
Gen MacRae was in the prima of life,
was unmarried, and was a man of fine
physique as well as of professional at
tainments, He had friends all over the
South, who will regret to bear of his
sudden death'. 1
