                  DEATH OF LAWYER C. M. FEREBEE

Cornelius Mackie Ferebee, a well-known attorney of Elizabeth City, N.C., died at 
the Sarah Leigh hospital, Norfolk, yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock after 
several days' illness of typhoid pneumonia.  The deceased had been in failing 
health some time previous to the attack, the result of which was by no means 
unexpected by his many friends.
He was forty-three years of age September 30, and had been practicing his 
profession in Elizabeth City about twenty years, during which time he had become 
conspicuous for his business ability.  He was also the chief promoter of the 
proposed Elizabeth City-Norfolk electric railway, for which a charter had been 
secured from the legislature of his state.
He graduated at Chapel Hill, N. C. and took a post-graduate course at the law 
school of the University of Virginia and in both institutions won distinctions 
of honor by standing at the head of his classes.
He was a son of the late Thomas Cooper Ferebee and Mrs. Bettie Wallace Ferebee, 
by whom he is survived.  He also leaves four brothers--Wallace C., Calvert C., 
Thomas C., John G.--and three sisters, Mrs. W.L. Berkley, of this place; Mrs. 
George W. Angus, Elizabeth, N.J. and Miss Elizabeth M. Ferebee, of this place.
He was a native of (Glencore) Norfolk county, Va. and was well known in this 
place, he having been a frequent visitor here for quite a number of years.
The funeral services will be conducted from his mother's residence, 108 Pine 
street, Sunday morning at 10 o'clock.  The place of interment will be announced 
later.
