OBITUARY—It is our painful duty to record the death of our esteemed townsman, 
LeBaron Drury, who for twelve years has been one of the leading business men 
of our city, ever active in all efforts to develop our business, and an 
intelligent and zealous representative of the English government at this port 
as British Consul.  He died peacefully at 12:30 A.M. on the 11th inst., after 
a protracted illness and much suffering, at the age of sixty-nine years.  
Unaccustomed to illness and pain, he bore them with christian resignation, and 
of him all can say with propriety, he was honest, tried and true.

He was for many years High Sheriff of St. Johns county, in the Providence of 
New Brunswick, where his family have for generations held high position and 
exercised influence, and was for many years engaged in the cotton compress and 
forwarding business, first in Galveston and then in Norfolk, from which last 
named city he moved to our port, fondly hoping to build up such a business 
here, and working against obstacles well nigh insurmountable, he accomplished 
this result with partial success, and was looking earnestly for full and 
complete success up[on the re-organization of the B. & A. R.R. company, and 
the development of business by the E.T.V. & G. R.R. company, when, just on the 
eve of such re-organization and development, death claimed him as a victim.

He will be sadly missed by many friends who had learned to love him for his 
many attractive qualities of head and heart, and by the whole community for 
which he has worked with a faith which knew no wavering.

He leaves a wife, two sons and a daughter to mourn his loss, who have, we are 
assured, the heartfelt sympathy of all our people.
