DEATH OF MR. LOUIE OGBURN.
Young Man Falls Prey to Fever After Short Illness--Held in High Esteem by Whole Community.
Mr. Louie Ogburn, one of the most popular young men of the town, died at the home of his father, Mr. W.C. Ogburn, in the early hours of last Thursday morning. Though he had been in bad health for some time, he had been confined to the bed for less than a week, and indeed, many did not know that he was sick at all. Typhoid fever was the cause of his death. He had continued his work as a travelling salesman up to the time of being forced to go to bed. Funeral services were held at the residence on Thursday afternoon by Dr. Chreitzberg, and were attended by a large gathering. The pall bearers were six young friends of the deceased, namely Frank Lee, Allen Heath, Emsley Armfield, Key Scales, Sneed Ogburn and Frank Stevens. The flowers that loving hands placed on the grave were beautiful.
Not in a long time has the death of a young man brought more sorrow to the people of this town. Just twenty-five years of age, the young man had begun an active an energetic career that foretold a useful, honorable and successful life. Since a boy he had been in the employ of the Heath-Morrow Company and had gradually but surely worked his way to the front till he had become a most trustworthy, successful and popular salesman. Mr. R.A. Morrow, the general manager of the company, has paid the young man a most worthy tribute not only to his ability as a salesman but to his integrity, high moral character and perfect reliability.
The deceased was one of those fine young fellows that grow upon those with whom they come in contact. He was refined in his tastes, polite and gentle in manner and never made himself conspicuous in any way, a manly young fellow whom all like for his real worth.
He is survived by his father, by one brother, and by four sisters, namely, Mrs. A.S. Morrison of Wadesboro, Mrs. E.H. austin of Monroe, Mrs. Charles Long of Marshville and Miss Mattie Ogburn of Monroe.
