Death

Mr. William W. Burleyson of this city died at the Presbyterian hospital in Charlotte yesterday afternoon after 8 o’clock. Mr. Burleyson had been in the hospital for several weeks undergoing treatment and for some time had been in a desperate condition, his death being for some time expected. Mr. Burleyson was about 45 years of age and is survived by a wife and several children, a brother, Dr. L. N. Burleyson, of this city, and one sister, Mrs. Mark Austin, of the county. He married a daughter of Mr. M. M. Furr and was a son of the late Isaac Burleyson, one of the leading citizens of No. 10 township. Mr. Burleyson lived in No. 10, where he farmed and merchandised, until last fall when he came to Concord and engaged in the mercantile business at the Brown mill. Mr. Burleyson was a good man and splendid citizen, highly esteemed and prominent in public and private life. He was the Republican candidate for sheriff last year and has been prominent in politics as well as in all walks of life. The remains were brought to Concord last night and today taken to Bethel for interment.
