A FORMER WINSTONITE KILLED—In the news columns of the State press we notice the
following item going the round, announcing the sad death of a gentleman well known to
this community in past years. For authenticity and particulars the following speaks for itself:
A special to the Wilmington Messenger states that at Rocky Mount last week, Mr. R. W.
DALLIS, an old man from Winston, in trying to cross the tracks in front of a shifting engine,
was run over and instantly killed. When the engine struck him, he rolled up on the pilot and
then down again across the track and was cut in two. All the wheels of the engine and
tender passed over him.
PANTHER CREEK GOSSIP- Mr. DAVID CROTZ living near Panther Creek and at an
advanced age was (from what I learn) stricken with paralysis on Sunday evening the 24th
instant. And lived till next morning about 9 o’clock, when his soul took its flight.
We have another case of paralysis on the preceding Saturday, LINA KIMBROUGH, an old
colored woman, when on her way to the Post Office was stricken speechless and
motionless in Miss S. R. NORMAN’S yard just a short distance from the house. Some of
the neighbors carried her back home in a wagon, and on Sunday evening following she
died. Just before she died she opened her eyes, but never spoke.
Panther Creek, N. C. April 26, 1892
On Tuesday of last week, a young colored girl by the name of MORRISON, who lived with
the family of WESLEY HARRIS, colored, about 4 miles down the Yadkin below Wilkesboro,
was burned so badly that it resulted in her death. She had raked together some weeds
and trash, set fire to the pile, from which her dress caught fire. Her sister ran up and
began to put out the fire, but she jerked loose and ran down the hill as fast as she could,
until her clothes were consumed. She was burned to a crisp almost all over. She lived
nearly 24 hours afterwards, and died.
Near Smith Grove, Davie county, April 20th, ROS. WALKER, aged 16 years and a son of
JOHN WALKER, chose a horrible end. He had been plowing, and during the afternoon
went to the house, procured a gun and placing it under his chin discharged the weapon
with a stick, blowing his head to atoms. No reason is assigned for the deed, unless it was
simply for want of reason.
PIONEER DANIEL BOONE—Hunters have a roving disposition and the pioneer, Daniel
Boone, was not an exception. Among his many places of abode there is one claimed for
him in our neighbor county of Davidson, ten miles from Lexington, where may be seen the
den or cave once occupied by this rugged old warrior as a rendezvous, and near this his
primitive cabin stood, though the latter is now entirely obliterated. The hearth stone of his
abode is yet preserved. An effort will be made to have this hearthstone exhibited at the
World’s Fair at Chicago in 1893.
A SAD DEATH—It has been our duty to chronicle many deaths, but none as sad or more
sudden than that of Mr. JOHN WIMMER, JR. At the residence of his father, Main Street,
Salem, last Sunday evening, a little past 8 o’clock, at the age of 30 years.
THE COMMUNITY was grief stricken yesterday morning upon learning that little HATTIE
MAUD, a sweet and loving little daughter of F. D. and ANNIE HOLCOMB passed from this
world of sorrow into the mansions of glory. She died of pneumonia fever and was buried
today at Center. Funeral services conducted by Rev. M. H. LONG in an able and
impressive manner from the text, “blessed are the dead that die in the Lord.” Christ says:
Suffer little children to come unto me for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” So little Hattie
has gone home with Christ to live. May the parents meet little Hattie on the other shore
where they will part no more. E. J. Center, N.C.

Stallions ever imported. The friends of the German Coach horses claim that they are the
general purpose horse of the world. They have been victorious everywhere in the show
ring. This superb young horse will be allowed to serve a limited number of mares at my
farm one mile east of Winston. For further information and terms address R. J.
REYNOLDS, Winston, NC.
From Davie County Times-The Bethel Alliance has bought Mrs. E. KIMBROUGH a fine cow
in the place of one that died recently. Mr. J.W. McCULLOCH raised the money and thanks
all that helped in this good cause. Mrs. KIMBROUGH is the widow of DAVID KIMBROUGH
who died a year ago last April, leaving her in straightened circumstances.
Mr. WILLIAM M. FORESTER, aged 98 years, who resides four miles from this place, is the
oldest inhabitant in Wilkes county. He is the father of Rev. J. S. FORESTER, of this place,
and is live for a man of his great age. It was our pleasure on Monday to receive a call from
him, and to hear him relate many of his “ups and downs”. He issued the licenses for the
marriage of ENG and CHANG BUNKER, the once famous Siamese Twins, to Misses
SALLIE and ADELAIDE YATES.
Ex-COUNTY TREASURER LINVILLE DEAD—At his home a few miles southwest of this city,
May 12th, ROBERT LINVILLE, Esq. Breathed his last at the age of 69 years. The
deceased was for many years Treasurer of this county, which office he filled as a
Republican with faithfulness and to the satisfaction of all. He also gave especial care to a
well kept vineyard and nursery, in addition to general farming operations. And his offerings
upon the market were always the best of their kind. As a husband and father he was kind
and affectionate, and as a citizen, honest, loyal and in every respect one, whose death the
county has reason to deplore. As a testimonial of high esteem in which he was held, the
funeral services last Friday were largely attended by people both town and country, who
gathered to pay the last sad tribute of respect to one of God’s noblest works—a just man—
and no one could desire a more fitting memorial.
Mrs. CAROLINE FAW, who resides at Miller’s Creek, this county, was in town last week.
She is seventy-one years of age and has 53 grandchildren and twenty great grand
children.
June 9, 1892
ATTEMPTED TO COMMIT SUICIDE—Near Pilot Mountain, Surry county, June 1st, a Miss
FLIPPEN, aged about 20 years and daughter of JOSPH FLIPPEN, Esq., made an effort to
destroy life by cutting her throat with a pen knife. When discovered her injuries were such
as to render her recovery doubtful. She was unable to talk but wrote that her reason for so
doing was that she was a deceiver in the church, having not lived up to her obligations and
even in her feeble condition preferred death to life.
Mrs. BUNCH Dead—In Kernersville, N.C. June 2nd, Mrs. BUNCH, a very estimable lady and
the wife of Rev. W. A. BUNCH, President of the North Carolina Methodist P. Conference
died, after a brief illness. Several small children survive, and the sympathies of a large
circle of friends extended to these and the bereaved husband.

Nov 3, 1892
A SHOT GUN TO THE FRONT—Last Wednesday a difficulty occurred between Mr. MAT
ZIGLAR and his son-in-law, Mr. EDWARD BANNER, two respectable farmers living a short
distance Northeast of the city. BANNER, it seems, owned the property upon which ZIGLAR
lives, and having disposed of the same, requested possession. Warm words followed and
the end was that BANNER procured his double-barreled shot gun and emptied one barrel
at ZIGLAR, the load scattering over his face and body. The wounds are quite painful, but it
is thought, not of a serious nature. That members of a family frequently disagree is to be
deplored. Peace ‘twixt man and man and woman is a blessed state of existence and
borders upon the divine nature. The individual that conquers the human in this respect
has made a good start upon the way to a better life.
A very sad accident occurred at Buck Shoal, Yadkin county, last week. SANTA SALMONS,
a son of Mr. and Mrs. RUFUS SALMONS, was instantly killed by a molasses mill. He was
driving the stock and stepped upon a chain when the sweep came around and caught his
head against the post, bent his head over, broke his neck and crushed the back part of
the skull. He was about 11 years old.
Nov 24, 1892
From Elkin Times: A son of Mr. John Kennedy, living near State Road, accidentally shot
himself Saturday. He had been hunting, and on returning home was standing near the
house with the stock of his gun resting on the porch while he was leaning on the barrel,
the gun slipped and its contents were emptied into his body killing him instantly.
REV. C.L. WHITAKER MARRIED: It was not the intention of Rev. C.L. WHITAKER of the
Methodist Protestant Church, this city, to attend Conference singly and alone, and en
route to this annual gathering went by way of Davie county, where last Thursday he was
married to MISS CLARA PEEPLES, near Advance, a highly esteemed young lady of that
county.
CADET TO WEST POINT- Congressman Wm. H. H. COWLES has appointed Mr. WALTER
HAYWOOD WORTH, son of THOMAS C. WORTH, of Ashe, as cadet to West Point from
the 8th district. He has also appointed Mr. JOHN ETLER (?), SON OF Mr. JAMES ETLER
(?) of Ashe, as alternate for same position.
Dec 1, 1892
Mr. JOSHUA SHEPHERD of Union Township was in town Tuesday and informed us of a
marriage which took place in his section last Sunday. The parties marrying were GEORGE
FARRINGTON of Ashe and ELISABETH ROYAL of Wilkes. They were not exactly the same
age, the old man being only 62 and the old lady 16 years old. It’s bad on our Wilkes boys
that “the oldest there is about” in Ashe can come across the line and take their girls from
them.
Dec 15, 1892
FORSYTH PENSIONERS—Upon the first page will be found an article concerning pension,
who are entitled and the amount received. Below we publish a list of those in this county
for whom Register of Deeds KOEHLN has received checks under the pension roll. Their
names have been printed in these columns before, and a close observer will notice that
the list grows shorter as the years go by, as one by one they are being called upon to
answer the roll call with a majority of their departed comrades upon the other side. In
addition is also the names of widows entitled to pensions, at least as many who have
remained unmarried, and there is a goodly number, forty two.
