DEATH OF MR. CAMPBELL MALONEY

    Died at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. William Cox, near Red 
House, May 2nd, 1893, Mr. Campbell Maloney, in the 95th years of his 
age.  He was, I suppose, the oldest man in Charlotte County, being born 
in 1798 before the death of George Washington.  His wife, now 90 years 
old, survives him.
    Mr. Maloney was a good man, and highly respected by all who knew 
him.  He made a public profession of religion about forty years ago, and 
united with the church at White's Chapel, of which he remained a 
consistent member until his death.  His wife was also a member of the 
same church.
    The old gentlemen requested that he might be buried at the church 
of which he had been so long a member, and also that Mr. Fenton G. 
North should select the spot for his grave, which duty Mr. North kindly 
and faithfully performed.  His burial was attended by a large concourse 
of people, and the ladies of the neighborhood and supplied a great 
profusion of flowers, which literally covered his grave.
    May the good Lord care for his aged and sorrowing partner, who has been his companion for 
so many years, and who must soon follow the departed husband.  They will meet on the other side 
of the river, where age will be known no more.  A Friend.
