. After an illness that had lasted
--since last May Mr D. S Sanders
died at his home af "about two
:i o'clock last . Friday morning,
' Mr. Sanders had really been
in rather feeble health .for
i ; several years but had been ; able
. . to go about town and give some
attention to his affairs untill last
Spring. . Although not ' well he
. went to the polls last June for
the purpose of voting in the
town election and while there
was stricken with an attack
. which incapacitated, him from
going about and from' which he
never recovered. He was of a
very1 friendly ar)d sociable 'dis
position and his inability to go
about the town and mingle with
v his friends was a great affliction
to him but owing t6 his hopeful
and cheerfulv nature he never
complained'of his lot.
David Simmons Sanders was
' born in Onslow, county and if he
had lived till the sixth day of
February he would have been
seventy six years old. For more
than fifty years he had made
Beaufort his home and had been
actively identified; with the
business life of the town ; and
county for all these years. In
.his time he befriended many
people in a business -way, and he
was known an' liked by""nedple
all bver the county. Mr. Sanders
4 was a soldier in the Southern
army during the War between
the States and was at the time
of his death one of the few Con
federate veterans still living in
this county.
Fifty four vears ago Mr. San
dersand Miss Emily Sabiston of
Beaufort were married and tor
more than halt a century naa
lived happily together. Mrs San
. ders though rather feeble in
health still survives.
Other living relatives are a son
W. A. Sanders of Norfolk, three
daughters Mrs. W. P. Smith and
Miss Lottie Sanders of Beaufort
and Mrs. W. L Bell of Dover.
Two brothera of the deceased
Dr. J. W. Sanders and Mr. Eli
Sanders live near Bgu; in the
western part of the county.
Owing to the influenza epi-
demic the funeral services which
were conducted by FevN ,R. 1.
Bumpas Pastor of the Methodist
church, were held at the grave.
The sen-ices and music by a
special choir were very solemn
and impressive. Many Deauu
ful floral designs were sent as
tokens of sympathy by sorrowing

Mrs. J. C. Willis Dies At
t Richmond I Iospital .1.
The community at Wiiliston j
and the whole of the Straits was '
greatly shocked on Saturday last
when the lifeless form of Mrs. ,
Lucy M. Willis was brought
home to be laid to restv JLess
than a week had elasped since
she had gone full of courage and
hope to the hospital at Richmond
for an opperation thought to be
slight, but she never rallied
from the shock the end came so
sudden so unexpected Friday at '
ono o'clock. She had been in
failing health for three years al- '
though she kept cheerful and ,
bore , her pain and suffering
patiently and always had a
smile for those around her.
As a Aild she gave her heart
to God and connected herself
with the Methodist church of
which she continued through life
a faithful and constant member.
Besides a host of fond friends
who mourn her death, a devot
ed mother and husband i..ree
brothers and one fisfer. She '
mairitd Mr. J. C. Willis and
ratstd the f jur children pf his
former wife, her sister who loved
her as a tendei and devoted
nv thi-r.
