Robesonian – Fri 08/10/1900
   Rev. R. B. Dow, of Lennon’s Cross Roads, Columbus county, died here suddenly 
Wednesday.  He has been in feeble health for some years and was addicted to the 
opium habit.  Yesterday afternoon he was seen by some fishermen to cross the old 
bridge and sit down under the shade of a tree and a little later fell on his face. 

When found he was dead.  Whether death was due to an over dose of landauum or 
morphine, vials of which were found on his person, or to heart disease, from which 
he had long been a sufferer, is not known.  Mr. Dow was a Baptist preacher of some 
local celebrity and until his health become impaired was a speaker of considerable 
power.  His remains were sent home for interment.
