His death came at 11:30 Sunday night at the Twin-City Hospital, whither he had been carried Friday morning. He had a sudden and severe attack of appendicitis. An operation was performed early Sunday morning, but he never rallied.

Mr. McAlister had been living in Winston-Salem for three years. He had, during this time, won a multitude of friends by his uprightness of character and his frank but courteous business ways.
He was as highly respected as any young man in the city. He was engaged in the real estate and insurance business.

He was the son of Col. and Mrs. A.C. McAlister of Asheboro. He was born in Asheboro, April 12, 1874, being 35 years of age. He was prepared for college at Bingham School, Mebane. He returned to teach there for two years after his graduation from the University of North Carolina in 1895.

After he left Bingham, he was secretary of the Worth Cotton Mills. Later he traveled as their salesman. During that time he made his home in Greensboro and 21 JAN 1904, he was married to Miss Margaret Hines, in Mt. Airy, Surry County, NC. She is the daughter of the late Archibald Hines of Mt. Airy. Three children were born unto them, two of whom survive their father, Adelaide and John Worth, Jr.
