"W.H.
Urquhart Dead
The somewhat sudden death of W.H. Urquhart at his home
on East Three Notch Street, last Saturday is greatly regretted. He had been
confined to his bed for several days by injuries received in a run-away
accident but he
was beginning to sit up and the family and friends were hopeful of his quick
recovery, when on Saturday afternoon about 1:30 o"clock, he lay down on
the bed and died within a few minutes almost without a struggle. He was about
65 years of age, an old Confederate soldier, a strict member of the Baptist
church and also a member of the Mason Fraternity. His remains were laid to
rest at My. Gilead Church about 5 miles from Rose Hill on Monday. Deceased
leaves three sons and two daughters and numerous friends to mourn his
loss."
