W.B. Spinks Dead

Mr. W.B. Spinks died very suddenly at his home near Brantley, in this county, 
last Saturday morning of heart disease.  He and his young son were out in the 
field hoeing, and it seems they were racing to see which could make the end of 
the row first, when he suddenly stopped and placed his right hand under his 
left arm and remarked to his boy that he had a severe pain there.  The young 
men told him that he had better go to the house and he started but did not go 
far before he fell.  Other members of the family came and carried him to the 
house and while they were on they way he told them he was going to die and 
asked that they put him down that he might walk a few more steps ere he crossed 
over the river of death.  They did his bidding but he made only a few steps 
before he sank again.  He was carried to the house and placed on a bed but he 
died a few minutes afterwards.  Mr. Spinks was about seventy-nine years old and 
was a man who had always led an exemplary life, loved and honored by all who 
knew him.  The Patriot sympathizes with the relatives of the deceased in this 
their sad hour.
