                    HUSBAND AND WIFE JOINED
 
Mr. Aycock and His Wife Die in Two Days of Each Other.
 
   News has reached Raleigh of two very sad deaths which have recently taken 
place in this vicinity. A husband, who died last Tuesday night, only preceded 
his wife in the grave one day, she on yesterday afternoon having joined her 
husband in the spirit land.
   The man who died was Mr. Aycock of Walnut Creek. Mr. Aycock died last 
Tuesday night from grip and was buried Wednesday afternoon. On yesterday 
afternoon his wife also died and will be buried today.
   Mr. Aycock was a farmer and had been living for the past two years or more 
on a farm belonging to Mr. Newt. Rowlings of this county. Mr. Aycock had 
leased the farm upon which he worked from Mr. Rowlings for a period of five 
years and was this year preparing to run a three-horse farm. Nearly two years 
of his lease remain unexpired.
   His wife, who had been in feeble health for some time did not long have to 
bear the pain of separation. She was an estimable woman and was faithful in 
her duties and attentive to comforts of those whom she loved. She was about 
fifty years of age at the time of her death and her husband was about fifty five.
   Mr. Aycock was very substantial and thorough going man. He was a skilful 
farmer and never failed to make good crops. He was known especially for his 
honesty and his energy. He was a hard worker and always made good his work and 
was also a good manager. A man with who he has had repeated business transactions 
says that he never knew him to fail to come up to his promises.
   They have several children all of who are grown or nearly so and two of whom 
are said to live in Raleigh.
   Mr. Aycock was buried Wednesday on the Rowlings place. His wife will be placed 
by him today.
