Eaten by Hogs

Mr. Richard Crowder, a Wealthy Citizen of Anson, Found Dead in His Pastures.

Last Thursday night Mr. Richard Crowder, a prominent citizen of Anson County, 
failed to put in an appearance at his supper-table. His family began to look 
for him but did not at first think very strange of his absence as Mr. Crowder 
was a peculiar man who rarely spoke to any one about his intentions. It was 
supposed that he had perhaps gone off on a trip without telling his family of 
it.

But as time passed on his family began to be alarmed and searchers were sent 
out. His brother, Mr. Frank Crowder, was in Charlotte yesterday looking for 
him.

He had not, however, gone away from home and yesterday the news reached the 
city that the dead body of Mr. Crowder had been found in his pasture almost 
half eaten by hogs. The supposition is that he must have died suddenly from 
heart failure or some other cause while out at work in his pasture. 

Mr. Crowder was a wealthy citizen highly respected for his honesty and 
integrity. He was about sixty years of age and leaves five children, four 
being boys between the ages of twenty-two and thirteen. His brother, Joe 
Crowder, was at one time sheriff of Anson County. The deceased owned a large 
amount of land in Anson and two well situated stores in Wadesboro.
