The body of W.O. Burton, formerly a well-known contractor of this city, who disappered from a Chesapeake bay steamer about three weeks ago, has been found on the beach at Cape Charles, according to the News-Leader.
Mr. Burton was at one time a resident of Weldon, and is doubtless remembered by many of our citizens. He was the contractor who had charge of the building of several of the large mills at Roanoke Rapids.
