WILL ARD
DEAD
Passed Away in Raleigh
Sunday.
A CITIZEN OF DURHAM
A PROGRESSIVE BUSINESS MAN WITH
A BRILLIANT CAREER.
Uncle of Capt. S. A. Ashe Died at Rex
Hospital-Operation Performed
to Save His Life.
iSunday morning, at the Rex Hospital
in this city, Mr. W. II. Willard breath
ed his last. He has been in failing
health for some- time and a few weeks
ago underwent an operation at Rex
Hospital. He seemed to improve at
' first, but has steadily been growing
weaker until his death.
Mr. Willard was 'born in? Massachu
setts in 1819, and was a descendant of
Maj. Simon Willard, famous in New
England history. At the age of 19 Mr.
Willard 'moved to Charleston, lauding
there without money or friends. He
soon had both. He married in North
Carolina and moved to Washington, N.
C, where he laid the foundations of his
fortune.
Mt. Willard was well known 'in Ral
eigh. His home on Hillnboro street is
one of the haiidnoirett in the city. For
a long time he was president, of the Na
tional Bank of Raleigh. After retiring
from that position, Mr. Willard entered
into the manufacturing business, engag
ing in the manufacture of cotton goods
at W'illurdsvillc, and the manufacture
of snufE and tobacco as senior member
of the R. F. Morris and Sou Manufac
turing Company at iDurham, Uion the
death of the late Mr. Eugene Morehead,
he became president of Morehead's
Banking Oompany at .Durham.
Mr. Willard had! lieen. re-elected a "di
rector ,iu the Wilmington and AVeldon
Railroad for thirty successive years and
his judgment was relied upon by his
associates.
Mr. Willard had only one child, a
daughter, who married Captain Samuel
A. Ashe. She died some years ago. Mr.
Willard had made his home with Onpr.
Ashe and tt own grandchildren wihen
he was in Raleigh.
He was a man of fine business ability,
imiTistry, and his common-sense was
marvelous.! He succeeded at whatever
ho undertook and left a fine estate.
The funeral was held to-day at one
o'clock fronn the home of Capt. S. A.
Ashe on Hillttboro street. .
About the time Mr. Willard came
South', Eastern North Carolina was the
granary of the large rice plantations on
the sea coast, audi Charleston obtained
by sailing vessels from Washington, N.
C, great quantities of iour corn. It
thus happened that Mr. ' Willard 'deter
mined to locate at Washington and en
gage in the corn business on account of
Charleston merchants. Reaching Wil
mington by steamer in May, 1840, he
fell in with Rev. iDr. Hawks and some
of the most prominent business men .f
Newbern who were returning from the
Episcopal convention, and travelled in
the stage with them from Goldsboro to
Newborn. They too were so pleased
with the young stranger that they en
tertained him with fine hospitality at
Newbern and Sought to persuade him
bo locate tliere. The remembrance of
tliis hospitable treatment by the first
men of Newbern to a mere youth, with
nothing to recommend him but his own
agreeable personality, was greatfully
treasured by 'Mr, Willard to the day of
his death. (But ho adhered to his pur
pose to locate at Washington, and there
too was received with a kindness that
he never forgot. .An old gentlemen.
