OBITUARY.
The death angel visited the home of Wm. Jernigan and took Mr. Jernigan
to the world unknown. We [re]gret the loss of such a man. He was a good
husband, a good citizen and a good christian, a member of Rosses church.
There has never been a misdeed recorded against him on the church roll,
nor on the criminal docket in Windsor. He leaves a widow and eleven children,
two brothers and three sisters to mourn the loss and to follow his foot
prints. He lived a life worthy of our emulation. we all sympathize with
the bereft. Rev. T. T. Speight preached his funeral. He was married twice.
He married Miss Maria Jernigan the last time. After h[i]s death she gave
up all the money he had, and gave up every thing that was there and said
it did not belong to her and that the heirs could give her fifty dollars
or nothing; it was all right with her. They gave her $300 and beged her
to take it and she signed her right away in every thing. She is an exceptional
woman; there is not another out of a thousand.
She is a christian.

HOGGARD
At noonday on Sunday May 17, 1914, in a Norfolk hospital, Mr. W. P.
Hoggard's early life ended and he passed into the Haven of Rest."
Mr. Hoggard was born in 1849 near Bethlehem Church Hertford county.
He was the son of Rev. Thomas Hoggard. Very early in life he became a member
of Bethlehem church where he took an active part in the work of that church
until he moved to Aulander and united with the Aulander Baptist Church.
He truly loved his church and took great interest in it. Before his health
failed, It was a rare thing to be absent from any of its meetings. When
he could not attend church his heart was in the work.
He was twice married; first, to Miss Nannie Wynns. One child blessed
their union. His last wife was Miss Mary Emma White, daughter of Rev. Harrvey
J. White. To them were born two sons; the late T. J. Hoggard, of Baltimore
and Mr. Bailey Hoggard, of Aulander.

Elisha Hoggard, Esquire
In 1866 I was at Terrapin Point fishing and saw a tall strong built
man bring there a load of barrels and kegs. I heard my father say to my
mother "It is useless to inspect Elisha Hoggard's barrels and kegs. He
is honest and a good barrel maker." I have thought of that often as I have
for these forty-eight years seen and known Mr. Hoggard. As I grew to manhood
he gave me his business, his confidence and his friendship. He died suddenly
on Thursday last. He had come to the ripe age of eighty-four years. He
spent them decently, industriously and honorably. He was a good man and
I mourn the loss of a friend. He came of a long lived stock. Timothy Hoggard
is now near ninety-three years of age. Mr. Hoggard's son, John T. Hoggard
is a faithful county officer, a Justice of the Peace and County Surveyor.
He deserves to the fullest extent the high opinion the public has of him.

Timothy Hoggard
Nearing the end of his ninety first year on Monday night of last week
death gently severed the threads that bound my old friend to life and he
painlessly passed to the beyond. I first saw Mr. Hoggard at Terrapin Point
fishery in the spring of 1866. He was a quiet peaceable citizen. I do not
recall that I ever saw him in the court room; certainly never saw him enter
as party to a suit, as juror, or witness. Few men have that record. He
was of friendly disposition. He never shunned labor. He worked in this
season's crop. He was honest. He died free of debt. His daughters are Mrs.
Frank Cobb and Mrs. Lou Miller. His son, Mr. James Hoggard, lived with
him. He lead an honorable life. It was always a pleasure to meet him. I
shall miss him. I shall miss him.

Killing in Colerain
Mr. George E. Clay Shot and Killed by Mr. Sullivan.
Coroner's Inquest Holds the Same Justifiable
Mr. George E. Clay of near Colerain, was shot and killed last Wednesday.
A man by the name of Sulliyan who has not long since moved from Texas and
Mr. Clay got in an altercation, we are informed, and it resulted in the
shooting of Clay. From what we have heard, some differences arose between
the two in the cultivation of a crop. Mr. Sullivan lived with or farmed
for Mr. Clay, and was accused by the latter of preparing to move and also
of having a pistol belonging to him. On Tuesday afternoon Mr. Clay went
to Colerain to procure a search warrant, and on being unable to do so,
returned home and accosted Mr. Sullivan for his belongings he had accused
him of having. And in the fracus that occurred, it is said that Mr. Clay
was shot with his own pistol. The Coroner was summoned and in the inquest
held the jury held the killing was justifiable. We are told that the trouble
was witnessed by several citizens of the community who testified in the
inquest. Mr. Clay is the man who shot a negro at his home some time ago.
The negro went to Clay's home demanding money or reparation in some trouble
between the two, in a threatening manner; and in this the Cononer's inquest
held that he was justified. Mr. Clay lived a short ways from Colerain and
was a man of middle age and an energetic farmer. We do not know Mr. Sullivan
who, we are told, has recently moved from the State of Texas and is now
farming in that section. Both men are married and have familios.

Obituary
On the 11th of June 1915, our dear Heavenly Father in his wonderful
power sent his Death Angel in our neighborhood and took from us the oldest
woman in our community, Mrs. Pennritta Hoggard.
For seventy-eight years and one month she lived with us and tried to
make her neighbors a better people, and her neighborhood a better place
to live in.
At fifteen years old a very early age of her day she accepted the teachings
of our Lord Jesus Christ and joined Ross' Baptist church.
She had been in bad health a few years, but her children, especially
her three daughters responded in every time of need, and lent their helping
hand to the best of their ability.
She left eight children thirty-seven grand children and thirteen great
grand children to mourn her loss. She came to their call for over fifty
years, she can no longer come to them, but if they walk in her foot steps,
they will go to her, and will greet mother in that home beyond the sky.
Among the dead our sister sleeps,
Her life was rounded true and well
And love in bitter sorrow weeps
About her dark and silent cell.

Death of Mrs. Dicey E. Jernigan
On last Tuesday, June 22, 1915, our Saviour sent an Angel from his
throne and took from us Mrs. Dicy E. Jernigan and carried her to the beautiful
Heavenly home. She was in apparent good health until Tuesday just about
11 o'clock. She was taken with paralysis which she lived just only a few
hours. Aunt Dicy was a good woman and kind hearted and did all she could
to help one another. How hard it was for us to part from her but the good
Lord knoweth and doth all things best, so he called her to go and live
with Him in that beautiful home above where we hope to meet her in the
"Sweet Bye and Bye." She will be greatly missed for no one can fill her
place in our heart, tho' it will be a sacred thought in the years to come
to relatives and friends that she shed radience in the home as long as
she did. She was 60 years of age and was a member of Ross's Baptist church.
She leaves two sisters, Mrs. Z. E. Daniels and Mrs. Pennie Miller and three
brothers, Mr. C. P. Jernigan, George G. Jernigan and Lewis Jernigan, with
whom she resided at the time of her death. Her husband preceded her to
the grave some ten or twelve years ago. The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. R. B. Lineberry and the remains were interred in in the family
burial ground Wednesday afternoon.
Their hearts were breaking and they wept,
When they last saw her here,
But love has followed her beyond
And we shall know her there.
Farwell dear Aunt farewell,
Peaceful be thy silent rest,
I hope we'll meet in Heaven,
When my time shall come to die.
By her neice.
Eva Jernigan.

Mrs. James Todd Evans
When I saw my friend Will Evans in Windsor on Friday last I shook hands
with him. I did not then know that he had lost all that a man can lose,
his well beloved wife. If I had known it I should have clasped his hand
with tighter grip and spoken the words of sympathy which now come to my
call. Mrs. Evans was a good chrisitian woman, a member of Ross' church[.]
She was liked by all her neighbor. She was a daughter of my old friend
Marcus Todd. He has been dead many years. Will Evans is a fine type of
what a Bertie county boy fine type of what a Bertie county boy can become.
He and his wife were farm born, They have builded a nice home. He raises
what he needs and has something over to sell. He gives to the needy. He
favors a good scool. He speaks in good causes. I give him my hand, but
this time it is the hand of a friend who have known sorrow and feel for
those who weep. God bless him and his in my prayer.
