Sudden Death of Capt. B.A. Walthall
"Magnolia Record:
It is our painful duty to record the death of this estimable gentleman, which sad event occurred here on the 30th ult. Capt. Walthall held a position in the office of the C., St. L. & N.O. R.R., and had left his post of duty at Water Valley on the 28th of last month, for the purpose of visiting his wife and child at Chatawa, in this county. Feeling very much indisposed, he got off the train here and at once went to bed, from which he never arose. He spoke, on the evening previous to his death, of getting up and walking about, but was advised to wait until the following morning. On entering his room in the morning, he was found in a dying condition, and although every attention, with medical aid, was given him, he gradually sank away, and at 10 o'clock breathed his last. Thus again has the reaper, Death, stricken from our midst one much loved, honored, and respected. He was the brother Gen. E.C. Walthall, one of the most prominent men in Mississippi, and at the time of his death was in his fortieth year."
