Death of Thomaa Bainey Font"
ress, Esq.
It is with the deepest regret we an
nounce the death of this venerable
and well known citizen, whick took
place at his residence on Fayetteville
Btreet this morning at 7 o'clock.
Mr. Fentress was born in Princess
Anne county, Va., on th14th of Feb.,
1816, and was therefore at the time
of his death nearly 77 years old. He
came to Raleigh a long time prior to
the late war, and was for many years
a prominent merchant. For many
years he was a member of what was
formerly known as the Board of Com
missioners of Raleigh, and served
with much fidelity. He leaves an
aged widow and five children to mourn
their loss, namely: Mr. Herbert L
Fentress, Miss Blanche Fentress, Mrs
E. M. Nadal, of Wilson Mrs W. F.
Taylor and Mrs 8. C. White, in 1838
Mr. Fentress had an attack of paraly
sis which rendered him an invalid.
It is thought that a renewal of the
attack ended tn his death this morn
ing which occurred without a seem
lug struggle.
The deceased was in all the rela
tions of life a most estimable gentle
man, and it can be mid that he goes
to his reward with the highest affec
tion of a host of friends.
Mr. Fentress was a Master Mason
and will be buried by tijat fraternity.
The time of the funeral will be an
nounced hereafter.
$3.75.
Ask for our gents $3.75 shoe. They
are as good as any $5 shoe in the mar
ket. Every pair warranted.
