ALBERT A. WILLARD.
WeU Known Citizen and Busi

Died Yesterday.
i
FUNERAL THIS AFTERNOON.
Descesded On Both Sides Froas Dlstls
falshed Aicestry aad a Oestlemso
Loved aad Esteemed by AH who
Knew Him His Career. .
a-
In the death of Mr. Albert A.
wiuard at the country home of his
son, Mr. Martin S. Willard, on Green
ville Sound yesterday morning at 6
o'clock, Wilmington lost one of its
most valued citizens and active busi
ness men.
Mr. Willard had been in failing
health for about a year, but not until
the past few weeks did he retire from
an unusually active business life to seek
a needed rest at the sound. His death
came after an immediate illness only
since last Wednesday and was caused
by a general breaking down of his
constitution, hastened by paralysis of
the brain.
Mr. Willard was born at Harvard,
Mass., May 19th, 1828, and was conse
quently in the 74th year of his age.
His ancestors on the paternal side
came from England to America in
1630 and several generations in succes
sion were Congregational ministers
for a period of over 70 years. His
mother was from the distinguished
Emerson family from which came the
renowned Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Mr. Willard received his education
and early training in the celebrated
schools of his native State and came
South in 1845 and engaged in the
wholesale grocery business at Wash
ington, N. a, with the late Wm. H
James A. and Joseph B. Willard.
From Washington he removed to
Green. boro,N. C., in 1861, and was
engaged with Mr. George Allen, then
of Newborn but now of Raleigh, in
the manufacture at Thomasville, N. C,
ot shoes and other supplies for the
Confederate government In 1866 he
came to Wilmington and established
the wholesale grocery firm of Willard
Bros.; which did the largest business
of the kind in the State. The firm
occupied the building on North Water
street where Mr. D. L. Gore is now
doing business. The firm was dis
solved during the great financial panic
of 1873 and Mr. Willard then en
gaged in the cotton business
and the Importation of salt and other
staple products in bulk. In 1893 the
Willard Bag & Manufacturing Com
pany was incorporated, with Mr. A.
A. Willard superintendent and his
sons, Mr. M. 8. Willard and the late
Joe. B. Willard as president and sec
retary and treasurer, respectively.
Upon the death of the last named, an
other son, Mr. E. Payson Willard,
succeeded him, and with his father and
brother, conducted the business until
the death yesterday. '
Mr. 'Willard was an exceptionally
good business man and was active and
faithful in the discharge of every duty.
He was a man of decision and strong
character; quiet and unobtrusive, yet
mildly assertive and unswerving in
his devotion to the right Those who
knew him best were his strongest
friends and found in him a wise coun
sellor and a sympathetic confidant
He was a devoted Presbyterian and
for the past 35 years he had been a rul
ing elder in the First Presbyterian
Church. Deceased married Miss Mary
Harriss Stevenson, of Newborn, in
1857, and she, with two sons, Messrs.
Martin S. and E. Payson Willard, of
this city, and three daughters, Mrs. D.
C. Whitted,of Wilmington; Mrs. 8.
O.Damon, of Lancaster, Mass., and
Mrs. S. EL Chester, of Nashville,
Tenn., survive him. He is also sur
vived by, one brother, Dr. Andrew
J. Willard, of Burlington, Vt, and
one sister, Miss Charlotte A. Willard,
of New Haven, Conn.
The remains were brought up to the
city at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
and the funeral will be conducted at 3
o'clock this afternoon from the resi
dence of Mr. M. S. Willard, corner of
Sixth and Orange streets.
U. S. Court Clerk.
As will be seen by reference to the
telegraphic columns of the Stab this
morning, Representative Bellamy'!
bill to provide for a clerk of the U. 8.
Circuit and District courts at Wil
mington, passed the House yesterday.
At present the office here is only that
of a deputy clerk, but there are certain
technical reasons why the change is
desirable. The bill now has to pass
the Senate and it will be law.

Revs. Fathers Dennen and Marion in
