APPLEWHITE, after a brief illness. The deceased has been in very delicate health for the past two years, which he withstood without ever murmuring, and always a smile and kind word for any friend with whom he might meet. He was born in Chuckatuck, Nansemond county, Va., in 1824, and was there educated. In 1842, he removed to Portsmouth, Va., and served his apprenticeship as a smith. At the outbreak of our civil struggle, he marched to the front with the United Artillery, Captain Thomas Kevill, and manfully with his command did he battle for his country’s rights and, after serving to the bitter end, was honorably paroled and returned to Norfolk, Va., where he resided up to his demise as a good, conscientious and honorable citizen. His funeral services will be held TODAY at 3 p.m. at Christ Church. Friends and acquaintances are invited to attend. AN OLD SCHOOLMATE.
