Mr. W.R. Covington died in the Charlotte Sanatorium Tuesday. He underwent an operating there June 15th, but his age and weakened condition were against him.

The remains were brought home Wednesday morning with the funeral from the Baptist church at Roberdel Wednesday afternoon, and interment at Bear Branch. Many and beautiful were the floral offerings, and the scores of relatives and friends evidenced the regard in which this fine old gentleman was held.

He was a brave Confederate soldier, having been a second lieutenant. He was 82 years, 7 months and 22 days old. The Post-Dispatch hopes to have a more detailed sketch of his life later.
