N.C. Mr. J. Labia Wilson One of - the Coonly'a Pest Citizens His Death Preceded by Months of Great Sufferiof Funeral and Borial Wednesday Attended by ' Larte Nomber o! Friends. In the death of Mr. J. Laban Wilson, of the Union neighbor hood, bare mention of which was made in The Gazette Tuesday. Gaston county lost one of her best citizens and many suffered the loss ' of a staunch and true friend Mr. Wilson passed away about 2 'o'clock Tuesday after noon in the Presbyterian Hos pital.' Charlotte, to which place he had been taken ? but a few days j earlier. For days before the end came all hope of his re covery was abandoned and be was taken to Charlotte that he might have the closest attention of trained nurses in the hope that bis sufferings might to some extent be alleviated. Loving hands ministered to him tenderly all through his illness but naught that man could do availed any. thing to stay the insidious dis ease. ; Blood poison fastened its jealous fangs upon his body and worked steadily bnt surelv until it bad accomplished its dire end. Since early last fall Mr. Wil son bad been practically ' con fined to his home and unable to follow his vocation,, farming. The disease which caused his death originated in a bunion on one of his feet, which be had been ' trimming and doctoring. Several months ago he had two of his toes amputated in the hope that the disease could thus be stopped. This failing, about two months ago he had the leg amputated at the knee joint. From the time of the last opera tion until his death, the de ceased was rational only at in tervals, being delirious most of the time. For several weeks past it was known that his con dition ' was growing worse and day by day the small hope' of his recovery grew smaller and smaller. ' . . ; J. Laban Wilson was 54 years of age and was born at the old Pettus Riddle homestead across the line in York county, S. C , not a great distance from his late home. He is survived bv three daughters and three sons. They are Mrs. Mary Patrick and Misses Lena and Blanche Wil son and Messrs. Henry, Lowry and George Wilson. He also leaves one half-brother, Mr. G. L. Riddle, of Zend, S. C. ; one half-sister, Mrs. Jennie Clarke, of Dandridge, Tenn. ; one full brother, Mr. W. W. Wilson, who lives in the Union neighborhood, and two full sistets, Mrs. W. N. Craig and Mrs. G. M. . Nolen, both; living in the same com munity. His wife, who was a daughter of the late James M. Craig, preceded him to the grave about four years. Labe Wilson, as. he was known and referred to familiarly by his friends, was a man of true worth. a man whose life counted in the community in which he lived and where his body was laid to await the final call. 'He was not one of the great, as the world counts greatness; he was plain, unassuming,--industrious, con scientious, true to his principles and loyal to bis friends; the kind of man that -any community can ill afford to lose; That he counted his friends by the scores was evidenced by the frequent inquiries one met almost every day on (he streets as to bis con dition. ' His death brought sor row to many friends, whose sym pathy goes out to the bereaved family. He was a loyal and active member of the Union Pres byterian church and as a mem ber of that organization he will be greatly missed. : The funeral was held at the late home of the deceased in the Union neighborhood Wednes day morning at 11 o'clock.' The services were conducted by Rev. G. A. Sparrow, Mr. Wilson's pastor, aud Rev. J. J. Kennedy, of Gastonia. Interment, followed in the Union Cemetery. Only a small percentage of the people who attended the funeral were able to gain "entrance to the bouse. The procession "was probably the largest ever seen in Union. . Many friends of the deceased from ' Gastonia, Dal las and other towns in the coun ty were present. - . - . Mr. Wilson left an estate valued at $25,000 or more. He left no will, it is stated, and his entire estate will go to his chil dren, v He bad $5,000 insurance in the New York Life and a policy in the Equitable. He also carried a membership in the Peoples Mutual Benevolent As sociation. - . . What' J)oin( Amoni oar Nefch bors Jast Across the Line. Vorkvills Bnaulrcr. 30tB, i , i - " The Southern Power Company is pushing the work of building the branch railroad from' King's Creek to the site of the dam . on Broad river and is making--very good progress at this time. The line being; run down ( the west side of King's Creek and part of roadbed will be through the level ; bottoms of that stream. Down nearer the river a number of heavy bluffs are encountered and conisderable heavy cutting wilt have to be done. One of the cuts will be twenty-seven feet deep. At the site of the dam work of all kinds is being pushed with all possible ' speed. The Winnie Davis Chapter Daughters of the Confederacy have decided ; upon June 7 as the date for the unveiling of the monument to the ' Confederate dead of York county in . the cemetery park. Col. Asbury Coward has accepted an invita tion to deliver an address on the occasion' and Governor Ansel has also been invited to partici pate in the ' exercises; but has not yet said whether he can be present. ' There has been a correction in the contract between the town of Yorkville and the Catawba Power Company whereby the town benefits $60 a month from the time it began using the power to the present and during the life of the contract. It seems that as a result of a mis understanding on the part of the power people in putting the verbal agreement in writing, they made an error against the town of $60 a month, Mt. G. H. O'Leary called the attention of Mr. Lee to this error durin? his stay in Yorkville last week, and although the town was duly bound in writing to abide bv the error, JUee made no hesitation in correcting it. Prof. W. H. Hand, of -the South Carolina University, with general supervision of public high school work in this state, was in Yorkville last Saturday night and talked to several citi zens in the Commercial Club on the subject of securing a portion of the $50,000 state aDDroDria- tion for the benefit of this com munity. He explained that while under the law towns of more than 1,000 inhabitants are estopped from securing exclusive benefits from the high school appropriation, still there is noth ing to prevent such corporations from coming In, in . connection witn rural sciiool districts. Captain Edward Crawford died at his home in Yorkville last Sunday morning at 20 min utes to 12 o'clock, after a long and tedious confinement, with complications growing out of troubles with his heart. Cap tain Crawford was born in Ches ter county in 1830; but has been a citizen of York county during the greater part of his life, es pecially since the war, and dur ing that time has been closely identified with all that has con cerned, especially the civic de velopment of this immediate section. The funeral took place from the home yesterday morn ing, the services being conduct ed by Rev. W. C. Ewart, assist ed by Rev. J. L. Oates and con ducted at the grave by Rev. E. E. Gillespie. The procession to the grave included active pall beares accompanying the hearse, honorary pall bearers consisting of Confederate veterans, a squad ot tne Jasper .Light Infantry, and a line of carriages bearing close relatives and friends. Quite a large number of people lrom Yorkville and the country surrounding ' followed ' the re mains to the grave. - Following is the attendance honor roll of - the city , gtaded schools for the seventh r month ; ' Misa Stuart's Room Archie Lee Alexander, Kenneth Cross, Rhea Fayssoux, Erdman Love, Ralph Rob inson, fiurney fioyce, Janie Costner, Kiny Dunn. .
