Mr. A.L. Dickens
The death of Mr. A.L. Dickens, Chief of police of the city
of Wilson, which occurred yesterday at 12 o’clock noon at the residence of his
brother, Mr. W.R. Dickens in this city, following an attack of influenza was
heard with profound sorrow for he has, during his brief career as an officer
and later succeeding Chief Wiggs, endeared himself to the people of Wilson and
by his management of his office demonstrated rare powers of diplomacy and a
method of securing results along the line of least resistance.
Handsome, courteous, obliging, with manners differential but
not cringing, stern in the enforcement of the law, and uncompromising in
principle where it was involved the Chief made himself felt in all circles
where the government of the city was involved.
He will be greatly missed and our people mourn.
He was 32 years of age and single. His remains were taken on
80 to Enfield where interment occurred this afternoon in the family cemetery. The
services were conducted by the Baptist minister there, assisted by the Odd
Fellows of which organization he was a devoted member. He leaves a mother and
brothers to mourn his departure. One of them, Captain Dickens, is in France and
the readers of the Times have read
interesting letters from his pen.
Mrs. B.J. Price
The funeral of Mrs. B.J. Price, sister of Mr. W.E. Warren
and Messrs. Sanford and Geo. Warren of Washington, was conducted from the
residence of Mr. Warren yesterday morning. The attendance was large and the
floral tributes were very beautiful and numerous.
A choir composed of Mrs. C.L. Coon, Mrs. Graham Woodard,
Miss Lucile Magette, Mrs. J.A. Spiers, and Messrs. Sydnor Borden, Will Harris
and D.M. Hill sang appropriate selections.
The pall bearers were Messrs. Stronach, U.H. Cozart, James
Uzzell, W.J. Davis, Geo. Hackney and J.A. Corbett.
Mrs. Julia Larkee
Mrs. Julia Larkee, mother of Mrs. R.A. Cherry, departed this
life at the New Briggs Hotel yesterday morning at 11 o’clock, following an
illness from the influenza. Her remains were taken to Morehead City early this
morning for interment and the burial was made in the old family cemetery, for
though Mrs. Cherry was from New Bern the old homestead was in Morehead.
The deceased was highly esteemed for her many good qualities
of head and heart and her generous and sociable nature which made friends with
all she came in contact. She was a devout member of the Methodist church and
the services will be held in Morehead at the grave by her pastor.
She leaves two daughters, Mrs. Cherry and Miss Madeline
Larkee, and one son, Mr. Norman Larkee to mourn her departure.
Card of Thanks
Mrs. Bettie McCall, mother of the late Henry McCall, thanks
the people of Wilson for kind attentions shown her during the illness and death
of her son.
