The Late Judge Ruffin

Judge Ruffin, whose death is announced elsewhere, was the fifth son of Chief 
Justice Ruffin, and was born about the year 1824. He entered the University in 
1840 in a class of which Walter Steele, James Horner, Robin Jones, George 
Wetmore, and Col. Yellowley were members and graduated with distinction in 
1844.

The News and Observer says that in early life Judge Ruffin married Mary, a 
daughter of Wm. Cain, Esq. and that lovely lady, together with several 
children, survives him.

While a man of business, Judge Ruffin was not neglectful of the greater 
concerns of life. He was member of the Episcopal Church, and the evening 
previous to his death, notwithstanding his great debility, when his pastor 
called he took communion with his wife and daughter, making his responses 
clear and distinct. Thus has passed away one of the most estimable gentlemen 
of our times.
