In Memoriam Perpetuum Tenoantur

        inr.
JAMES MARSHALL SLOAN
OBIT. 18 July 1880
MINNIE b. SLOAN
OBIT. 10 Dec. 1882

Brother and sister, knit by the ties of natural kinship cemented by those of a 
common orphanage. The subjects of this tribute were grandchildren of the late 
Wm. B. MCCORKLE, formerly of Wadesboro, North Carolina. Bereft of both father 
and mother in early childhood they were brought up by their uncle and guardian
DR. J. R. MCCORKLE of Mooresville, North Caroliina. In many respects they were 
a remarkable pair of children. Invalids both of them, almost from infancy, 
they yet possessed so much vitality that they were enable to acquire a fair 
education, and to excite in the minds of their friends the hope that the 
tendency to early decline so manifest in them both might be arrested and that 
the rare traits of character displayed in their short lives might attain to 
full maturity. But it was otherwise ordered. Devotedly attached to each other 
and conscious of the facty they carried in their frail bodies the seeds of a 
fell disease, they seemed impressed with the belief they would speedily follow 
each other to a better land. Marshall had passed his 19th birthday and Minnie 
her 20th by only a few months. Both died of the same disease; both lingered 
many months. Patience under suffering was eminently characteristic of them 
both.
