Lanier, of Oxford, will be read with deepest regret by his numerous friends in this and other sections of the State. The end came peacefully at his home on Gilliam street on last Wednesday afternoon at about 6 o'clock. Dr. Lanier had been in declining health for a year or more, but still his death was unexpected at the time. Marcus Voltaire Lanier was born in Mecklenburg county, Va., near Chase City, in the year 1818. He was ' educated at the University of Vir ginia and taught school for a while, but afterwards read law under Hon. Robert Ballard Gilliam. When ad mitted to the bar he associated him self in the practice with his former perceptor under the name of Gilliam & Lanier, which partnership lasted for a number of years. Dr. Lanier was admitted one of the most learned and profound law yers the Stair has produced. He was a careful student and was no mere surface, "case-lawyer," but was we'll grounded In the deep and far-reaching principles of the law. His opinions were quoted largely and even in his last years his judg ment was sought by other lawyers on important and intricate questions of the law. He was also a ripe schol ar, being an excellent linguist, and especially proficient in Greek and He brew. He generally read his Bible In the original. He was also well versed in English literature, and was a writer of rare gifts, having written two or three books (the names of which we cannot now recall) and also some poems of rare beauty. He was a leading member of Ox ford Presbyterian church, and for fifty years or more was one of its Ruling Elders. He was a man of spotless character and spurned hy pocrisy and shams. As a lawyer he ever upheld the highest ideals of the profession, and scorned the low trickeries of unscru pulous attorneys. As lawyer, chris tian citizen, husband, father, friend and neighbor, he has left a record which should be an Inspiration to those he left behind. He was twice married, both wives being daughters of Dr. John R. Hicks, the latter of whom survives him. The deceased leaves besides the widow four sons, Mai. A. S. Danler, of Richmond, Va.; Mr. Herder Lanier, of Baltimore, Md.; Mr. Robert Lanier, of Arkansas; Mr. Thornton Lanier, of Oxford; and four daughters, Mrs. Rebecca King, of Baltimore; Miss Mollie Lanier, of Asheville; Miss Ruth Lanier, of Wash ington, D. C, and Mrs. Chewning, of Oxford. The funeral, conducted by his de voted pastor, Rev. John E. Wool, was at the Presbvterlan church. The Interment was In Elm wood cemetery. The pall-bearers were as follows: Active J. G. Hall, H. G. Cooper, R. P. Taylor. W. H. Hunt, R. W. Lassi- ter and A. A. Hicks; honorary J. A. Webb, F. P. Hobgood, J. M. Currln, A. W. Graham and John Webb. The floral offerings were numerous and most beautiful. To the bereaved ones we extend our sincere sympathies. Roll of Honor of St. Stephen's Sunday School for April. Carl B.
