The following news item from the Staunton Leader will occasion both surprise and regret in Hinton among the friends of the gentleman whose death the Leader chronicles:
Captain L J Meredith died at his home on North Coalter street shortly after midnight, Monday, aged about 60 years. His health had not been good for a couple of years, but he had been ill since only about the middle of July. For several weeks there had been little expectation of his recovery. The death of Mrs Meredith only a few months ago had not tended to give him courage and strength. The funeral was held Wednesday morning from St Francis Catholic Church of which he was a faithful member, and the interment was in Thornrose Cemetery.
Captain Meredith was born in New York City, but came to Virginia when quite young and grew up around Richmond. For more than thirty years he has made his home in Staunton, and had been in the employ of the C & O Railway for more than forty years. He was regarded as one of the best track men in the state, and had for many years won the $50 prize given by the C & O for having the best track on the system. He was supervisor of track for the Mountain district, and it was his pride to keep it always in first class condition. He was known far and wide to railroad men, and they and all who knew him held him in high esteem. He was a good citizen, faithful to all his duties and a good neighbor and friend.
Surviving Captain Meredith are five children: Mrs Frances N Moran, of Staunton; Mrs John Hanlon, of Hopewell; Misses Marie and Margaret Meredith, of Staunton, and Rev William Meredith, of Staunton.
Captain Meredith was a brother of Capt D H Meredith, of Hinton.
