-----
Mrs. Daisey Springs Pegram, wife of Miles P. Pegram, died at her home on South Tryon street Tuesday morning.
Mrs. Pegram had arisen, according to Mr. Pegram, shortly after midnight to go downstairs for some water. Mr. Pegram went to sleep and awoke about four o'clock, when he missed his wife. He went downstairs and found her at the foot of the steps. He raised her up thinking she had one of her recurrent attacks of heart failure, and asked if she wanted medicine. She was unable to speak, but put out her tongue, and swallowed the medicine. Dr. Yates Falson was called. She breathed only a few times after his arrival.
Mrs. Pegram had been in bad health for years, having not been in normal health since early girlhood. She had been under the care of a physician for a number of years. Recently she had been suffering from heart trouble, her death was attributed to this cause.
She was the youngest child of the lat John M. and Mrs. Elizabeth Springs. Mrs. Springs is in her eighty-third year.
Mrs. Pegram was born at the old Springs' home on North Tryon street, December 8, 1866, and was therefore firfy-one years old.
Reared and educated here, Mrs. Pegram grew to a beautiful girlhood and young womanhood. To the beauty of her person she added a gentle refined nature, consideration of others, and a heart full of kindness.
She was married to Mr. Pegram in 1884 at the age of eighteen. The wedding took place at the old Springs' home, on the site of the present Tryon hotel. The marriage was one of the most brilliant events of the season.
In former years before her health failed. Mrs. Pegram was one of the most popular young ladies of the city. It was as a wife and daughter, however, that she won the admiration of all.
She was a member of the First Presbyterian church, her family being prominently identified with that church for years. Until recently, as long as her health would permit, she was active in all affairs of the church, taking delight in all Christian work. It was seldom that she was absent from services. Surviving are her husband, mother, and five sisters, and one brother. Her sisters are: Miss Lulu Springs, Mrs. Lila Spring Ebeltoft, of Shelby, and Mrs. Wade H. Harris. Her brother is John M. Springs. Mrs. Ebeltoft and daughter, Miss Elizabeth Ebeltoft, arrived in the city from Shelby Tuesday night.
She was a niece of Mrs. Margaret Springs Kelly, and Miss Alice Springs, of this city, and A.A. Springs of Norfolk, Va.
The funeral services will be conducted this afternoon at the residence at five o'clcok. Rev. D.H. Rolston, D.D., pastor of the First Presbyterian church, will officiate.
Acting as pallbearers will be: E.L. Keesler, Thos. M. Shelton, R.F. Stokes, H.H. Orr, C.C. Adams, and T.T. Gilmer.
