DEATH OF E.F. ACREE
A Prominant and Influential Citizen of Danville
(Special to the Times-Dispatch)
DANVILLE, VA., Dec. 24===Mr. Edward Fox Acree, one ofthe most influential and highly esteemed citizens of Danville, died this morning at his home on Main Street after a brief illness. The death was unexpected. Mr. Acree had been in feeble health for the past several months, and only several days ago partially recovered from a spell of sickness. He was, however, at his work yesterday, and apparently in his usual health when he returned home last night. Shortly after supper, he complained of feeling badly, and retired early, growing worse after midnight.
Mr. Acree was sixty-two years of age, and was born in King and Queen county, being the son of Edward Smith and Mary S. Acree. He served with distinction during the Civil War and moved to this city shortly after the struggle was over. Mr. Acree first embarked in the grocery and mercantile business, and conducted an establishment on lower Main Street. He afterwards entered the warehouse business, which occupation he has pursued with eminent success for a long number of years.
At the time of his death, Mr. Acree was the president of the Danville Co-operative Warehouse Company, and manager of the warehouse of E.F. Acree and Brother. Mr. Acree has been married twice, his first wife being a Miss Agnes C. Harvey of Richmond, who died a number of years ago. The only surviving son by his first marriage is Mr. Robert F. Acree, the manager of the Star Laundry. The deceased is survived by his present wife, who was Miss Leah Ryland, of King and Queen county, and the following children by his by his present marriage: Mr.Russell Acree, who is engaged in the tobacco business in Darlington, S.C., and Miss Kathryn Acree of this city. The deceased is survived by only two brothers, Mr.James F. Acree, of Danville, and Rev. R.R. Acree of Clarksville, Tenn.
