J. WESLEY CATES DEAD. Leading And Prominent Citizen Passes Away at his home in Burlington Saturday Night. Mr.. James Wesley Cates, pioneer citizen, progressive business man, prominent in church and civic worker in the town and county, died suddenly at his home last Saturday night (January 10, 1918) at 11 o'clock. His death comes as a great and sudden blow to the town, as he possibly ranked as the most prominent and influential citizen of the town for the past 30 years. About four years ago Mr. Cates was in an automobile accident that came near causing his death and resulted in injuries that probably hastened his death. He recovered sufficiently to take up his work again in the business world and was actively engaged up to the end. He was at his post all day Saturday, and although he complained for several days, he did not give up. After supper he went up town for the mail and got home about nine o'clock. About ten o'clock he was taken ill and physicians came and administered to him, but in half an hour he sustained a stroke of paralysis and died instantly. Thus passed a man who has meant more to Burlington than any other man connected with his history. He was born September 30, 1847, in the section of Orange county that later became a part of Alamance. His parents were William and Sarah Cheek Cates, and his mother is now living at his home at the age of 90 years. Mr. Cates remembered distinctly the names and features of seven grandparents and great-grandparents, 17 uncles and aunts, 15 great-uncle and one great-great-uncle, who died at the age of 104. He was married in 1869 to Miss Sarah Patterson, from which union three children survive. In 1885 he was married to Miss Sarah Scott of Virginia, and six children survive this union. A remarkable coincidence is the similarity in the manner of his death and that of his wife. She was stricken with paralysis on Saturday night twenty-two weeks before. Mr. Cates is survived by nine children, as follows: W. Luther Cates, Mrs. J. H. Vernon, Mrs. L. D. Perry and Misses Bertha, Verna and Julia Cates of Burlington; Jas. M. Cates of Greensboro; G. Robert Cates of Atlanta, Ga.; and C. Grady Cates of Roanoke, Va.; his mother Mrs. Sarah B. Cates; two brothers, W. M. and B. M. Cates of Tallahassee, Fla.; two sisters, Mrs. H. C. Zachary of Sanford, Fla.; and Mrs. Fannie Clark of Chapel Hill. The funeral was held Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock in the First Baptist church, Pastor M. W. Buck conducting the services. The Masons, Odd Fellows and Pythians of which he was a member, attended the funeral in bodies. The service was a unique an impressive one. Because of his great interest in every interest in his city, a few of his friends were given the opportunity to speak from their hearts....The pall bearers were the same as at Mrs. Cates' funeral. It would be hard to estimate what Mr. Cates has meant to Burlington. He arrived in the city in 1880, when the town had 817 people. With twelve others in 1887 he organized the First Baptist church, of which he has always been a deacon and recently was made a deacon for life. He has been mayor and alderman of the city, and has been director of four banks and was president of one for awhile. In the establishment of the Burlington Graded School he was largely instrumental and was one of the first members of Board of Trustees. He was the last of the five original members of this board. He was secretary of the Chamber of Commerce for two years. Naming his activities is like giving a business directory of Burlington. The first Burlington postoffice box was rented by M. J. W. Cates and he was given the first telephone number and he made the first deposit in a bank of the city. For the past 20 years Mr. Cates has been engaged in selling fuel and all kinds of building material. His business life was a full one, but no fuller than his church and social life. A man of rare judgment and an assiduous disciple of duty, Mr. Cates developed all the best sides of his nature....

Smith of Haw River and Miss Betty Best of the home, and two brothers, A. J. Best of Haw River, and John Best of Burlington. Funeral services were held at the Haw River United Church of Christ Sunday by the Rev. C.C. Capps and the Rev. Jimmy Shepherd. Burial was in Haw River Cemetery.

Mr. J. W. CHEEK A SAD OCCURENCE. AN ESTEEMED CITIZEN OF DURHAM COMMITS SUICIDE. We regret to learn of the suicide yesterday morning, September 23, 1875 at Durham of Mr. J. W. CHEEK, an esteemed citizen of that place under singular circumstances. Mr. Cheek, a gentleman some 55 years of age, a native of Orange Co., NC has been for a number of years engaged in merchandising and speculating in the town of Durham, and being a man devoted to his business it is thought over tasked his nerves, from which cause he has for some months been confined to his room, and owing to his nervous condition has recently been removed to the residence of his brother-in-law, Mr. Fred Gear, some mile from the town, in order to give him more quiet. Yesterday morning while his wife was absent from the room at breakfast Mr. Cheek by some means fastened the mosquito netting from his bed around his neck, and securing it to the bed-post swung himself there from, and when his wife returned to the room he was lifeless. The sad affair has cast a gloom over the community of Durham, Mr. Cheek having been universally esteemed both as a business man and as a citizen. No other cause for the suicide can be conceived other than the depression upon his mind occasioned by his nervous condition.

Donnell, "Uncle Cal" as many as were wont to call him, has made his home in Graham. He was born in Guilford county June 21, 1831, and died about 8 o'clock Friday morning, January 26, 1917, at the home of his niece, Mrs. C. S. Hunter. The funeral was conducted by his Pastor, Dr. T. M. McConnell, from the Presbyterian church at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon. For 38 years Mr. Donnel had been a Ruling Elder in his church and verily he was one of its pillars. In everything in his church that had good for its result, as well as in matters outside, he took an unselfish interest. The following pall-bearers bore the remains to their last resting place in Linwood Cemetery: Mess. C. P. ALBRIGHT, Allen Tate, McBride HOLT, Lynn B. Williamson, J. Clarence Walker, Sam T. Johnston, Charles A. Scott and J. Harvey WHITE. The funeral was attended by a large number of relatives, friends, and acquaintances. He is survived by the following nephews and nieces, John, W.

Scott, children of his sister, Mrs. Bettie Scott, who passed away a few years ago at her home in Graham. As a young man Mr. Donnell began business in Wilmington. During or near the close of the Civil War he was in business in Mebane and in 1868 he and his brother-in-law, the late James Sidney Scott, engaged in the mercantile business under the name of Scott & Donnell. This business continued actively for more than 20 years, and in 1883 they completed the first cotton mill in Graham. They sold this mill which is now part of the Oneida Mill, and later built the Sidney Mill near the railway station. Mr. Donnell was never married. In business he was diligent and honest, he lived modestly and economically, and by the practice of these virtues he accumulated a comfortable estate. He was an esteemed and upright citizen and exerted an abiding influence for good, and like the ripened grain is gathered to his reward.

Mr. G. W. HATCH, Supt. Street Railway, Loses Life in Accident. Tuesday afternoon (January 24, 1918) Mr. G. W. Hatch, Supt of Piedmont Railway & Electric Co., met with an accident that cost him his life. He and others were using the Co's electric engine to clear the tracks of ice. On the Haw River branch immediately north of Graham station they ran at high speed into the ice at the public road crossing. The engine was thrown from the track and turned over. The air pump fell on Mr. Hatch, inflicting fatal injuries, and he is reported to have been scorched by the electric current. Three others, Messrs. Moore and Lewis and a colored man, were also badly hurt, Moore having a leg broken and Lewis having a leg badly bruised. The colored man suffered only slight injuries. All were rushed to Rainey Hospital where Mr. Hatch died about 7 o'clock that evening. Mr. Hatch had been with the Street Railway for the past nine years and was an efficient official. He was highly esteemed as a citizen and his death was a shock to his friends and the community. He had built a handsome bungalow in Piedmont Park where he lived with his wife, two daughters and son. Yesterday afternoon a funeral service was held at his home by his pastor, Rev. D. McIver, pastor of the Presbyterian church in Burlington, and the remains left on the evening train for Baltimore, accompanied by a committee of the Masonic fraternity, for interment.

Mr. Alfred W. HAYWOOD Dies at Haw River (December 7, 1916) Passed Away Sunday Evening After Brief Illness. The many friends of Mr. Alfred W. Haywood were shocked to hear of his death at Haw River last Sunday evening a few minutes after 6 o'clock. While he had not enjoyed his usual robust health for the past four or five years, still he was in fair health. He was in Graham Tuesday of last week attending to business in court and appeared to be as well as usual. He was taken ill the following day and continued to grow weaker. The immediate cause of his death was heart failure. Mr. Haywood was born in Raleigh on July 15, 1853. He was a son of the late Dr. E. Burke Haywood, a distinguished physician. His mother was Mrs. Lucy Williams Haywood. He practiced law in Raleigh up to 1895, when he moved to Haw River, abandoning the practice of law to engage in cotton manufacturing and was president of the HOLT-Granite Mfg. Co. In May, 1883, Mr. Haywood was united in marriage to Miss Louise M. HOLT, second daughter of the late Gov. Thomas M. HOLT. To them were born two sons - Alfred W. Haywood Jr., partner in a leading New York city law firm, and Thomas HOLT Haywood, who holds a highly responsible position with a big cotton goods commission house in New York city. His widow and two sons survive him. He is also survived by five brothers and one sister. The remains were carried to Raleigh Tuesday and the funeral was conducted from Christ's church. A number attended from Burlington, Graham and Haw River. Mr. Haywood was well known throughout the state. In appearance he was courtly and distinguished looking and his uniform courtesy and considerate attention to every one won him many friends. For a number of years he was a trustee of the University and had held other positions of trust and honor. His death is deplored by a host of friends and acquaintances.

Mr. Levin W. HOLT Dead (October 14, 1915). After an illness of several months and confinement to his room for more than a month, Mr. Levin W. HOLT died at his home two miles west of Graham Monday evening at 7:30 o'clock, aged 59 years and a few months. Mr. HOLT was one of the county's best citizens--quiet and unobtrusive, but earnest and straightforward. His funeral was conducted by his pastor, Rev. G. L. Curry, from the M. P. church in Burlington at 1:30 p. m. yesterday and the interment was at Pine Hill cemetery. His widow and five children, three sons and two daughters, survive. He was a brother of Rev. J. W. HOLT near Burlington, Mr. Lafayette HOLT, Mrs. J. M. Fix and Mrs. J. Bedford THOMPSON of Burlington and Mr. McBride HOLT of Graham. A close friend pays the following just tribute to him: "While we are in the midst of life we are in the midst of death." Death is such a complete change that it causes us to be still and silent and to think. In thinking, our minds gather up the memories along the pathway of the past. The earliest recollection I have of our deceased friend, Bro. HOLT, is that of meeting him at a Sunday School Convention in one of the county's most remote townships. That was several years ago, but I remember his earnestness and his zeal in the work. This zeal never for once abated. It never faltered nor failed. In season and out of season and out of season Bro. HOLT was found working for the County Sunday School Association and its cause. Several times he was elected its president. All the time, whether president or private pupil, he did what he could. He often said, "I fear we don't realize the good we may do through the Sunday School Association." He helped to make the last program for the County Convention. He was not at all well at that time. He excused himself before the program was quite finished because of ill feeling and said, "I really should not have come." Sick or well he worked for the Sunday school cause. He came to see me about three times about getting me to take up the work. He was so eager for the work to go forward. I do not know what he knew, but I little thought that the shoulders that were dropping the mantle of our County Sunday School President were so soon to be laid to rest. But as a man lives so he dies. Men come into the world and live and die and pass out, but their works do follow them. In the field of the organized Sunday school Bro. HOLT has helped to build a work that will follow him and be more lasting than any monument of marble. As a brother in service, I drop a tear because we have lost a friend and helper; I rejoice because his going is his gain. Fraternally, J. B. ROBERTSON.

William Patrick MANESS
A Snow Camp man died Thursday afternoon, March 18, 2004, after an apparent accident in a workshop. William Patrick MANESS, 32, of 7009 Bass Mountain Road, was found dead on his family’s property at 1256 Longest Acres Road. The Alamance County Sheriff’s Department said Thursday night that Maness was killed when the New Holland Bobcat backhoe he was working on collapsed on top of him. Maness was one of two sons of the late John Maness, one of the founders of the popular Bass Mountain Bluegrass Festival. The festival is held twice a year at Bass Mountain Music Park, where Pat Maness’ body was found. Sheriff Terry Johnson said Maness’ brother, also named John Maness, found his body at about 5:50 p.m. Thursday. Pat Maness had last been seen at 7 a.m. Thursday working on some machinery at the shop. His body was taken to the N.C. State Medical Examiner’s office in Chapel Hill for an autopsy. Johnson said Thursday night that his department would continue investigating the death because no one saw the accident. “At this point there’s no apparent foul play,” Johnson said. The sheriff estimated that Maness had been dead for five or six hours when he was found. “He looked like he was working on the hydraulic unit and it fell and pinned him,” Johnson said. Maness’ father died in December 2002, at the age of 57. Alamance County EMS was called to the accident, along with the Snow Camp Volunteer Fire Department and Alamance County
Rescue.

James Alvis SMALL, (PASSENGER TRAIN KILLS OLD MAN AT HAW RIVER, July 5, 1927) 77, was instantly Killed Sunday Morning Near Haw River Underpass As He Walked Upon Tracts. Funeral Services Held From His Home. Service Held In Haw River Monday Afternoon By Rev. COOK Of The Baptist Church, And Robert Councilman Of Burlington. Funeral service for James Alvis Small, 77, who was instantly killed Sunday morning by a Southern passenger train west of the Haw River underpass, was held yesterday afternoon from the home in Haw River, by Rev. COOK, of the Baptist Church, and Robert Councilman, ministerial student. The aged man is said to have walked toward the tract from his home and to have continued directly in front of the locomotive. Someone is said to have called a warning to him, but is not believed that he heard this. He looked up about this time, however and threw up his hands. It is thought he did this when he saw the engine upon him, or suddenly heard the noise. The scene of the fatal accident is at a point between a cut and a fill, where in years gone by a grade crossing was. Since the road changed, people have used the place for a pathway across. Almost opposite is a filling station to which some believe the deceased had started. For a mile or two west of Haw River the railroad is down grade. Trains roll out of the curve cut without the noise they make when pulling and glide out upon the fill. Johnny Newlin, one of the witnesses, stated he did not see the train actually strike the body, but saw it hurled up 10 feet in the air. It fell back upon the pilot and then rolled off upon the track and under the wheels. It was badly mangled. L. P. Kimrey was another witness who saw the accident practically as Mr. Newlin did. There was a third witness whose name could not be learned. These witnesses say that the train did not blow its emergency warning as it usually does when something is sighted on the rail close to the approach. None have stated the train blew nearer the scene than back above the cut where the mile station post is, where it regularly blows. Happening on the side of the fireman, probably out of his seat for a moment. It is believed that neither he or the engineer observed at any time what had happened. The train rolled on to the Haw River station, 500 yards east, made its accustomed short stop, and pulled out. There is said not to be a record of a train doing this having actually observed an accident, especially when it involved a person. Mr. Small even at 77, was an active man, and those who knew him declare that it is a certain thing that he did not see or hear the approach of the train until it was too late to avoid being struck. The body was taken to the undertaking parlor of Green and McClure in Graham, and for burial. Besides his wife, the former Mattie Andrews, the following children survive; Grover of Roanoke, Va.; Mrs. Della Daniels, Graham; Mrs. O. C. Cole, Mebane; Miss Gena, Dillard, Otha, and Miss Dora, of Haw River; also two brothers, Thomas, of Graham, and John William, of Burlington, and one sister Mrs. Dora Teague. The pallbearers were, Marshal Blackmon, Ed Minnis, Bill Terrell, John Ray, W. E. McCracken, and Mr. Woods. There was a large crowd at the service, showing the esteem in which the deceased and members of his family are held, and a profuse floral offering. (Note: My Mother, "Miss Dora" was 13 years old when her father was killed, she is the only surviving member in this family. I would have LOVED to have known this man, he ran a General Store on the west bank of the Haw River. Born in Rockingham County, NC, came to Alamance County in the 1880's, married first, Bettie Bryant of Virginia in 1883, and second Mrs. Mattie C. Andrews Cates of Orange County, NC in 1903. James Alvis Small was the father of ten children, two sons predeceased him.)

Simmons received a telegram from an official in Philadelphia announcing the death of her father Mr. R. S. Stevens. It is presumed a letter on his person directed the message to her. At once Mrs. Simmons sent a message to her son, Dr. Steven Simmons, connected with a hospital in Philadelphia who replied that the body would be prepared for burial and forwarded to this place. The telegram did not specify the day but mentioned the hour of leaving and was therefore expected to reach this place at eight or ten yesterday morning, coming by way of Greensboro. Then it was expected to come by way of Raleigh and reach here on one of the evening trains. At this writing Thursday afternoon, it has not arrived, but is looked for on every evening train. The suspense has been a most painful ordeal for Mrs. Simmons and she is deeply sympathized with by her many friends. Mr. Stevens had lived lived at one time in Pennsylvania, but for a few years recently he had spent most of his time in Memphis. He was a highly skilled mechanic and designer, which business carried him to different points and while in Philadelphia he is believed to have died suddenly. He was 7-- years, or past, of age. His wife died some 15 or more years ago while on a visit to their daughter Mrs. Simmons, who is their only child, and was buried here. Mr. Stevens was a gentleman of quiet manner and esteemed by all with whom acquainted. Mrs. Simmons has the sincere sympathy of her many friends in her sad bereavement.

Lieut. D. G. SULLIVAN Dead. The news of the death of Lieut. Sullivan was a shock to everyone who knew him. He was taken sick Saturday, and died about noon Monday in a hospital in Raleigh. Lieut. Sullivan at the time of his death was in service with the Supply Co. of the 3rd N. C. Reg. He was born in Gibsonville. When a boy his family moved to Burlington, and in his teens he enlisted in the U. S. Army, serving two enlistments in Cuba and the Philippine Islands. While in the Philippines he was in nine engagements. When he came out of service he enlisted in the Infirmary of the 3rd Regiment. He moved to Graham, living here about two years; then to Reidsville, where he was a police officer and by faithful service he was appointed chief of police and held the job until the call came. Four years ago he was promoted to Serg.-Maj. of the 3rd Reg. When the call came June 19, 1916, he was the first man to report to his commander and at once reported for duty. He was promoted to Lieut. of the Supply Co., going to El Paso, Tex. When the Reg. returned his company was not mustered out and when he died he was still in service. Sullivan, as I called him, being one of his tent mates while in service, always had a cheering word for everyone. He always tried to make the boys feel good and happy. He will be missed by both officers and men. His remains arrived at Burlington Monday evening. The funeral was conducted by Rev. T. S. Brown and his remains buried in the Pine Hill Cemetery, with military honors by Co. I, 3rd Reg. A detachment of his Company accompanied the remains to Burlington.

Funeral of Mrs. Yancey TACKLE of Elon College. Today (March 21, 1918) at Friedens Lutheran church, near Gibsonville, was a funeral more interesting than most funerals. Mrs. Yancey Tackle of Elon College, R. F. D., aged seventy-five years, the fourth wife of Mr. Tackle, died from the effects of paralysis. She was a Miss Seymour, and had married Mr. Alvis Robinson before marrying Mr. Tackle. After about ten years of married life with Mr. Robinson she became a widow. Later in life she married Mr. Tackle, and it was just about ten years that she was permitted to live in the community before death came to her. She left no children, but she left an aged husband, two half-brothers, four half-sisters, many other relatives and lots of friends. She was a member of the Baptist church, and she was prepared to leave this world. The funeral services was held at the home, and the interment was had at Friedens, where Mr. Tackle has now buried four wives. The funeral text was a favorite of the aged husband: Rom. 10:9. A word here about Mr. Tackle would not be out of place. He is nearly ninety-three years old; was about eighty-three when he married the last time; wants his name spelled "Tackle", and not "Tickle"; is quite a good Bible scholar; can read without glasses; in good weather works a little in his blacksmith shop; Takes lots of interest in his church (the Lutheran church); talks politics sometimes; is a most honorable man, and has many friends. He told his pastor with great pleasure, that there were seventy-one visitors at his house on one day during the last illness of his wife. May he live to be a hundred years old, and be strong all that time, is the wish of his pastor. Y. Von A. Riser. March 13, 1918.

Body of Charley THOMPSON Found. On Saturday, January 12th, 1918 Charley THOMPSON, between 8 and 9 years old, son of Henry THOMPSON, fell from a foot-way under the railroad bridge over the river at Haw River. At the time the river was somewhat swollen and large blocks of ice were floating down. Almost immediately the boy disappeared. Parties on either side went down the river watching for the body, but he was not seen again. Tuesday about noon Mr. Fred FARRELL at Swepsonville was in a boat below the bridge at that place going to look at his fish trap. In passing a small island in the river he saw the body hanging in the fork of a small tree and partially out of the water. The body was taken out and brought to the undertaking rooms of Rich & Thompson at this place and prepared for burial. All the clothes were still on the body which was found in a good state of preservation. The funeral took place at Haw River yesterday afternoon.

Samuel B. THOMPSON, November 1, 1884, Mariposa Gazette, California. Many of the friends and old-timers will regret to learn of the death of Samuel B. THOMPSON, formerly of Cathey's Valley and brother of Joseph THOMPSON. He died about a month ago at his home in Alamance County, North Carolina. He left here some two years ago with a view to spending the remainder of his days at the old home, which he did and has passed off to the other shore, where many of his old associates have gone before. We felt at the time of parting with Sam, that we should never see him again, for he was not in the best of health. He was noted for his social qualities and his goodness of heart. He would go to the bottom of his pocket for the last dollar whenever charity was asked of him for a laudable purpose. In Sam. B THOMPSON the world has parted with a man whose heart knew no wrong, and the earth has recalled to its kindred dust one whose life was well spent, and by his many virtues will ever be cherished in the memory of those left behind.

Jonas TOUCHSTONE/TOUCHTON, whose parents are not certain, but are assumed to be Andrew Touchstone/Touchton and Sarah, was born 10 November 1724, according to the register of St. Mary Anne’s (North Elk) Parish in Cecil County, Maryland. Jonas Touchton was among the men who requested a pardon for (Ninian Bell or Matthew) Hamilton and James Hunter following the Regulator Movement and the Battle of Alamance; the petition was recorded at the North Carolina Council meeting held at New Bern, North Carolina on 01 October 1751. In essence, the Regulator Movement was a precursor to the American Revolution in which the militia under Royal Governor William Tryon defeated the regulators in May 1771. This man, or a younger man of the same name, was listed on the 30 October 1775 roll of Captain Andrew Cummings’ Company of Volunteer Militia in Saltcatchers and Edisto District, Colleton County Regiment of Foot, South Carolina.

Second Lieutenant Henry Touchton was an officer in the same company. In the 1790 Census, this Jonas Touchton was the head of a household in the southern part of Orangeburgh District, South Carolina, with three females and two boys in his family. In the 1800 Census of the Orangeburgh side of the Edisto River in South Carolina, Jonas, aged over 45 years, was head of a household composed of one woman aged over 45 years, two women aged 26-45 years, two men aged 16-26 years, one boy aged 10 to 16 years, and two boys under 10 years.

DEATH OF A MINISTER.-- The Rev. S. W. WESCOTT, of Chapel Hill, died at that place on Sunday, the 11th of the month of April, 1875, of erysipelas in the throat. He was from Smithville in Brunswick county, a very young man, being only about twenty-seven years old, and at the time of his death was pastor of the Baptist church in Chapel Hill. He was about organizing a church of his denomination in this town. He had preached here several times, and by his unaffected piety and ability had already made for himself many warm friends in our midst. Had his life been spared, he gave promise of doing much good in our town, where he had made regular appointments for preaching to our people. We share in the regret and sorrow felt at his death by those of our neighbors whose love he had early won. His remains were taken to Smithville for interment. His short life was such as to bless his memory in the hearts of those who knew him. Those of his faith and order here, who were unde! r his direction and influence, about to organize themselves into a church will feel and grieve over their loss.
