   SUDDEN DEATH -- It give us pain to announce the sudden death of our oldest 
citizen, MR. ROBERT M. STERLING, who accidently fell, on Saturday last, whilst 
attempting to rise from his seat. Being sick and very feeble, MR. STERLING 
found himself falling and in attempting to recover, threw out his hand, which 
struck a board, not well balanced, on which a window pane was lying, tilting 
it so as to throw the window pane under the calf of his right leg which 
severed the main artery, producing death in a few minutes, and before the aid 
of physicians could be procured. His sister was the only person present to 
witness the distressing scent. MR. STERLING was about 56 years of age, and was 
the oldest native of Charlotte -- Charlotte Bulletin
