Death of Mr. Eggleston.

After a lingering illness of over three months, Seth Eggleston died on Saturday evening, Oct. 13th, at his residence one mile west of town, aged 56 years. Mr. Eggleston had been a resident of the county over 22 years, and was a man held in high esteem by his neighbors and acquaintances, and his death, though expected for some time, casts a gloom of sadness over the whole community.

The funeral, conducted by Rev. W. A. Richards, was held at the residence Sunday afternoon, and the remains interred in Glenwood Cemetery.

The deceased leaves a wife and three daughters, who mourn their loss, who have the sympathy of the community.
