Mr. Sam Harrell
Mr. Sam Harrell was found dead in his room this morning when his sister Mrs. Bettie Baker went to wake him. It was later than he is accustomed to rise to go to work in the cemetery where he assists Mr. Barefoot to look after Maplewood. He was lying on his back and the indications were that he died without a struggle. He was perfectly well yesterday and worked during the day. He retired at the usual hour last night, ate a good supper, and made no complaint of feeling badly.
