ALLEY TON LOCALS

A sadness and gloom has resided on our neighborhood for sometime in consequence of the long-continued and severe illness of our neighbor and fellow-citizen, Capt. H. C. Everett, which was deepened by the announcement of his death on the 5th inst. A good man and citizen has been taken from us, whose place it will be hard to fill, we shall miss him more than we can now anticipate. He has left a sorrowing wife and a family of precious children to mourn his death. May the Lord have them in his specail care and guide them right. Much might be said of the deceased, in reference to his very many traits of character which consituted him a model citizen and neighbor. But we desist, hoping and believing that some one better qualified will write his obituary. The family and friends have our heartfelt sympathy in their hour of bereavement and loss. [Interment in Alleyton Cemetery]

Capt. Everett’s brother, who lives in West Virginia, had been telegraphed to to[sic] come and see him. He came just in time to see the last expiring breath. The Captain was conscious ad aroused up enough to recognize him. He was so grief stricken and being aged and not stout he was fearful if he did not hurry, he would not reach home; so he hurried off before his brother was buried, to be buried, as he said, at home.
