And now again the public heart is
shocked at the sad intelligence of the
sudden and unexpected demise of Maj.
W. W. Hampton of Swan Pond, Wilkes
Co. N. C.
The cause that led to the fearful ter
mintion of his earthly existance, is
shrouded in mystery, and it is only
know that he was just recoverning from
a severe nervous attack and was quite
raeloncholly. He was born, and reared
upon the Swan Pond plantation on tha
Yadkin River, a very valuable estate,
the Post office at the place taking the
name of the plantation; where he ever
resided and where his remains now
rests in peace. He died on the 7th of
Julyat tha age of 65 years having, dur
his life served his country honorably :'n
tbe Legislature of N C, in other public
positions, civil and military.
The writer has been intimately ac
quainted with Maj. Ilampton and takes
great pleasure in saying he was a gen
tleman of high sense of honor and pos
sessed of many noble traits. He had his
faults and who has not and who has
fewer, let him who is faultless cast the
the first stone and let him and him a
lono speak of the faults of the absent
brother. "We may well say of Maj.
j Hampton, "that to be known was to be
liked and the many poor, black as
well as white, all around in his vicinity
are grief stricken at the loss of their
best friend.
He never was known to turn off an
empty sack while his corn lasted and he
raised immense quantities of that
staple.
If that old adage is true, and I fcelievo
it is, that "whom the poor praiseth the
Lord bleseth" then indeed is Maj.
Hampton one of the blessed.
. About five years since the Major very
earnestly requested me to visit him, and
I did so shortly thereafter. He was
then alone his aged' widowed mother
havjng died a short time previously.
He then told me that he had just had
an experience that he desired to relate
to me. He said he was in very deep
trouble and it seemed that the moun
tains of distress and anguish were crush
ing him to distruction. He said he had
always been a praying man but in that
extreme emergency, ho prayed as never
before, and when he had abount given
up all his burden was suddenly remov
ed. I told him that .was regeneration
and rejoiced with him, that he had
found the pearl of great price. And
now to his bereft companipn, and grief
stricken sisters and brothers and to a
saddened community, I want to say
"weep not as those who have no hope;'!
but with, patient resignation submit to
the incomprehensible will of prov
idence who doeth all things well and bo
sure' to comply with that last request he
made in his last interview witn one oi
his devoted sisters, to meet him in the (
better land. May God temper the!
winds to the shorn lambs. The deep-1
est sympathy of a true friend to the de-.'
parted brotner is tendered to tno rela
tives of the absent one.
