Forsyth's Last Mexican War Veteran Dead

Winston-Salem, Nov. 19 - The last Forsyth county Mexican war veteran, Mr. 
William Ebert, died Sunday morning at his home, three miles west of the city, 
after a brief illness. His death was caused mostly from old age.

Mr. Egbert was one of the most successful farmers of the county and was held 
in the highest esteem by all who knew him. He was in the city about a week ago 
and stated to a friend that he was gradually sinking. He felt as if he had 
only a short time to live. He had many warm friends in this city who were 
pained to learn of his death.

The. Tbert was a verteran of the Confederacy as well as a Mexican War veteran 
and a large number of the members of the Norfleet Camp of Confederate Veterans 
attended the funeral services, which were conducted from the residence 
yesterday afternoon by Bishop Edward Rondthaler. The remains were laid to rest 
in the Salem Cemetery.
