The funeral service was conducted from Harrison church Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock by the pastor, Rev. . C. M. Pickens, and the interment was made in the church yard. | The following account of 4he ! useful and eminently successful | life of Capt. Ardrey is taken from the Charlotte Chronicle: j 1 Captain William Erskine Ar-, i drey was the son of the late Dr. ; - William A. and Mrs. Udia L. Ardrey, and was born on September 23, 1839/ He was ed-' ucated at Providence Academy and Davidson College. He did not finish his collegiate course 1 but left college to enlist in the i ?;?;i ?l - uvu wax. nc was at nrst a ( member of Company C, under ' Capt. Ross, known as "Charlotte ; Grays," of the First North Caro- ; lina Regiment commanded byi: by General D. H. Hill. |. This company joined the army ; at Yorktown just after the battle of Big Bethel, June 1861. Capt. . Ardrey served in this regiment ! during its term of service. Later , he enlisted in Company K, of the j 30th North Carolina Regiment , as a private, and was gradually ! \ promoted to the captaincy of his . company. In this capacity he ^ served until the close of the war, I; and surrendered at Appomattox j \ April 9, 1865. He was wounded j at Mechanicsville June 2, 1864. In 1874 Capt. Ardrey was elected chairman of the board of county commissioners of Mecklenburg county. In 1876 he was elected a member of the first Democratic Legislature in North Carolina after the war, and was afterwards elected and served in the Legislatures of 1879, 1885, :, 1880, 1901. He interested him-: self in a stock law for Mecklen- { burg county, and the present ; splendid public road system of the county is largely due to his efforts. In 1892 Capt. Ardrey was appointed by President Cleveland 1 A- -1? xl. - T T -x T I aupui iiiLeiiueuu 01 trie unn,eu| i States assay office at Charlotte, i 1 and held that position during the i administration of Mr. Cleveland. I | For 40 years he was superinten- j , dent of the Sunday school of i Harrison Methodist Episcopal! ' church, and was a member of j : that church since he was 15 years 1 of age. He was faithful and ! loyal to everv trust imposed on 1 him by his country "and his i friends. He was always, and i under all circumstances, a gentle- i ! man, and was one of the truest, i bravest, and best men the county t cf Mecklenburg ever produced. Capt. Ardrey was twice mar- ; ried. His first wife was Missi j Margaret M. Robinson to whom t he was wedded on January 31, i 1365. By this union there were four children, all of whom sur! vive. They are the following ! named: Messrs. J. B. Ardrey, of tv* *-J - ij mcviiiv, vvitiicim ivi. /vrurey, in j j Providence; Or. L. L. Ardrey, of Bandera, Texas, and Mrs. W. II. | Crowell, of Burpraw. He was married in 1880 to Miss M. E.

He is also survived by one brother, Mr. John W. Ardrey, of Fort Mill, S. C., three i sisters, Mrs. Margaret Potts, of j Charlotte, and Mrs. M. J. Bell and Samuel Elliott, of Providence, ' and one half-sister, Mrs. R. M. | Miller, Sr., of this citv. Charlotte Bank Sues Brokers. Damages in the neighborhood of $20,000 or more will be asked for by the Charlotte National Bank from the V. P. Randolph Company, of Philadelphia, at the June term of Mecklenburg Civil: Court. Summonses for the defendant company were sworn out | March 20th and have since been served. The suit grows out of the embezzlement of a large sum of the bank's money by Franc : H. Jones, the teller, a transaction i in which it is alleged that Percy ; G. Fonville was implicated. Fon-! ville was formerly an agent of the company sued in this section i of the country, and it is supposed, though no statement can be obtained, that the bank will contend th it it was through the operations of Mr. Fonville, as agent for the .! company, that the defalcation . occurred. No complaint has been ' filed and the respective contenr tions are largely matters of ; speculation. Messrs. Pharr & Bell will represent the bank and Messrs. L Tillet & Guthrie the defendant : company. Rumors have been > heard of a counter-suit by the j company against the bank, but nothing has developed thus far. It is thought by some that the company may contend that ; money, for which no credit was \ given it, was deposited there by ? its aeent. while the bank would I! deny receiving the money.
