Albert N. Aleshire, a highly respected citizen living one mile West of Stanley, died on Friday at the Rockingham Memorial Hospital where he was taken a few days previously. Death was due to spinal meningitis. Mr. Aleshire had been in declining health for several years. Three months ago he returned from the Blue Ridge Sanatorium, at Charlottesville, where he was under treatment for a few months and made such favorable progress that his physicians said he could return to work if he did not overdo himself. An employee of the N. & W. signal gang for years before his health failed he was re-employed and given light work which he followed for about two months until he was taken ill about one month ago. He was about thirty-eight years old. Mr. Aleshire owned a nice home near Stanley and was highly thought of. He was a son of Charles Aleshire who was killed by lightning a few years ago. A widow, who was formerly Miss Florence Painter, daughter of Eld. Thomas H. Painter, of Stanley survives with three children, Eugene, Louise and Angie. The oldest child is about twelve years old, and the youngest quite small. One sister, Mrs. Myrtle Weaver, near Shenandoah City, and one half brother, John Aleshire of Stanley, survive. The funeral was held at the Stanley Adventist Church.
