The Morning Star, Wilmington, NC-Th 09/02/1886
DEATH OF COL. H. B. SHORT.
 
   Col H. B. Short, a gentleman well-known and liked throughout the whole Cape 
Fear section and one of the most prominent and influential citizens of Columbus 
county, died in Wilmington on Wednesday evening, August 25.  He had been in 
failing health for some months, and had just returned from a trip to the sea-
shore at the time of his death.
 
   Col. Short was a native North Carolinian, and served his State acceptably as 
State Senator for Columbus and Robeson counties.  He was a man of considerable 
means, which he dispensed with a generous hand, and at his hospitable home on 
Lake Waccamaw the visitor and stranger always found a hearty welcome.
 
   In the death of Col. Short, Columbus county has lost one of its most valuable 
citizens and the State of North Carolina a true and loyal son.
