Washington County, N.C., May 28, 1892

33 Years Ago in Washington County. . . Items gathered from issue of the Roanoke Beacon published Friday, May 28, 1892 Our city market was open in full blast Saturday, and everything looked like business. The old Grace church has been torn down and the work of reconstruction will soon begin. We regret to announce the death of Capt. Benj. Spruill, which occurred Tuesday at his home in this county. Capt. Spruill was about 60 years old and was a well known and honored citizen. The magistrates of the county will meet in this town next Monday and appoint a new board of county commissioners and a superintendent of public instruction. Despite the inclement weather, a large number were at the town hall Monday night to see the plays reproduced by the Dramatic Club.
