   Sudden Death
   We neglected last week to mention the death of Mrs Laura Martin, which took place, suddenly, on the night of the 5th inst. at the residence of her husband Col Leland Martin at Brier Creek, Wilkes county. She had been sick for some days but was supposed to be recovering. She had sat up all day, and after retiring made a sudden outcry. Col Martin was from home, and her children hastening to her, found her dying. Mrs Martin was a daughter of Mr David Corpening of Burke and was by all accounts a most worthy and excellent lady. The family, some years ago, lived in Statesville, where they have relatives and a number of acquaintances and friends. The deceased lady was the mother of Mr H C Martin, salesman with Messrs Baker & Woods, of this place.
