Death of Mrs. Wiley Sheorn.
It is with deep sadness that we
Announce the death of Mrs. Wiley
Sheorn which occurred in Monroe,
N. 0., last Tuesday nigh!.
Mrs. Sheorn yvaa a moat estima
ble, christian ladv. Her life was
gentle, hut like the stiit waters it
was deep. In her heart of hearts she
carried those she love and her hand
was never weary, her steps never
failed In ministering unto aud car
iug for those who were in any way
dependent upon her. She was a
faithful member of the Baptist
Church. She was not only faithful
to her Church, but just as faithful
in believing that it wan her duty ftp
a christian to do the will of her
Master at all times. She was al
ways ready to lend a helping hand
in time of need?both In acts of
kindness a'ld in words.
None but those who have sat in
the shadow of a great bereavement
eau justly weigh such a sorrow as
has befallen her loved ones. The
husband with a devotion few men
are capable of, whose strength was
given sweetly, tenderly to the suf
foring'luvalid ?/ife, could not de
tain her by the clasp of earthly
love; but after the last word had
been spoken, the last sign of re
cognition w'as gone, a look of p?ace
settled upon her face and ho knew
tnat she was resting ou a mighty
arm. Much has been taken from
the .husband, children and a large
cjtxu\c 6f relatives and friends;
sweet tjfes have been broken but
iri''ch Is left. The christian's hope
and fadeless memories are theirs.
The funeral services were held
yesterday morning from her late
residence on Mill street.
The Burning: of tho Ancrum House.
Last Monday night about mid
night an alatm of lire was sent in
from box 23. Soon the streets
were filled with people hurrying to
the place whicb proved to be the
Ancrum residence?a handsome old
ante bellum building on Fair St.
The fire company, as usual, re
sponded promptly and did all in
their power to save the bopsc but
for lack of pressure it was impossi
ble to get the water on the fire, and
on this account hundreds of peo
wero forced to see tho handsome
old structure slowly burn to the
ground. The tire originated in the]
kitchen, which was annexed (J the
main building. We understand
that there was some insurance upr
ou the building but not near
enough to replace it.
Another old landmark is gone,
and Camden loses a One type of
the grand old mansions tL?t ipade
her social life famous in snterbel
lum days; for within those spacious
halls hospitality has been lavishly
dispensed for more than a century.
We quote from "Historic Camden
