The Pike County Journal
Zebulon, Pike Co., Friday, May 18, 1894

Mr. W. H. McLendon of Concord died last Monday night of cancer of the face. 

The burial occurred on Tuesday following at 2:30 p.m. The funeral services were attended by a great 
concourse of people and were impressively conducted by Rev. W.A. Brooks, pastor of the Baptist church.

For many years Mr. McLendon has been a citizen of this county and no man can find a stain on his 
honorable and circumspect life. But to the contrary hundreds now and before his death, were ever ready 
to utter words in his praise. Whatever station he filled public or private, he did it faithfully, 
fearlessly and conscientiously, Now his tender heart can no longer respond to words of praise or 
censure, when the grave offers an asylum of repose which can be disturbed by no words that may fall 
from human lips, be it said to his credit - he did unto other as he would have them do unto him.

He leaves a wife and five children to whom we extend our warmest sympathy.
