day before he died.

night of the 3rd inst., in the 78th year of his age. A more extended obituary

notice will appear next week.



Died---At her home near Fayetteville, Tenn., on the morning of the 28th ult.,

Mrs. Dorthula McLain, a widow of the late Napoleon B. McClain, a former well

known citizen of this county. Deceased was a daughter of the late Elias Hitch,

of this county and leaves surviving her one sister, Mrs. William Goddard, Sr.,

and two brothers, Carrick Hitch, of Illinois, and Stephen K. Hitch, of this

county; and the late Mrs. Isaac Anderson McCully was also a sister. She leaves

also one son and two daughters. She was stricken with paralysis at the

breakfast table and lingered until the next morning. She was a clever, good

woman and leaves a large circle of friends and kindred in this county.



Sudden Death---Yesterday morning about 10 o’clock William Ingram, an old and

well known citizen of Maryville, died very suddenly from a stroke of apoplexy.

He had lain down to take his usual nap, and Mrs. Ingram, who was in the

kitchen, heard him making a peculiar noise and she went into the room and

found him struggling but unable to speak. She gave the alarm and some of the

neighbors came in, and everything was done for him but to no avail, and in a

few moments he was dead. Dr. Cates was called in, and he pronounced it an

apoplectic fit. The deceased was about 58 years of age, and was born in

Jefferson County, where his mother now lives. The remains will be interred in

the New Providence graveyard this morning. Second edition of the News, 4th

inst.



According to the census of 1880, Blount County had 15,935 inhabitants.
