Capt. Win. E. Ardrey Dead.
. Captain Wm. E. Ardrey, fat barf
Mrs. J. L.' Spratt and brother
of Mr. John W. Ardrey of'FortMill,
died Monday morning pt
1.10 o'clock at his home in the,
.Providence section of MeckLen-_
burg county, after an illness of
several weeks. 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

He was married in 1880 to Miss
M. E. Howie who, with live ehiij
dren survive. They are: Mrs.
I J. L. Spratt, of Fort Mill, S. C;
! Mrs. P. A. Stough, of Cornelius;
Miss Annie Ardrey, and Masters

Providence. He is also survived
by one brother, Mr. John W.

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.

"This morning at 31 o'clock at

The bride is a daughter of
Chtts. A. MoBne of this place and
has grown up here from girlhood.
She is a graduate of the Bancroft
high school and one of the good ,
teachers of the county. Her
boat of friends will regret herj
leaving our midst. The groom
is the 6on of an old Southern
family and his father is the
owner of a large cotton planta- |
tion near Ft Mill. The groom is '
employed as a clerk in charge of
the coupon pay department of
the Culebra Division . of the
Panama Canal, and has a very
good and lucrative position there
with Uncle Sam. The newly
married couple left to-day on the
1:25 train south for the groom's
home where they will visit his
relatives a few days and from 1
there go to Richmond, Va., on
a like mission. They will visit
the Jamestown Exposition and
from there they go to Washington,
D. C., and New York for
a few days before leaving for
their new home on the Canal I
Zone. The hearty congratulations
and best wishes of a large 1
number of friends go with them. !
