Col. P.M. Pearsall, who died yesterday morning at his home in New Bern, was one of the best known and best liked men in North Carolina. Few men had closer or more loyal friends. He had served in the General Assembly as officer of the A. and N.C.R.R., as private secretary to Governor Aycock, and at the time of his death was chairman of the State Board of Elections. He was a member of a large and patriotic family, was a man of fine sentiment, patriotic family, was a man of fine sentiment, patriticism and devotion to his native State.
