DEATH OF DR. ARDREY
-------------
Young Physician, a Native of This County, Passes Away at Bandera, Texas.
A telegram was received by relatives in the city yesterday announcing the death of Dr. Lucius L. Ardrey, which occurred Wednesday afternoon at 6 o'clock at his home in Bandera, Texas, where he had been living for a number of years. The remains will be brought to Pineville for interment, reaching the city probably Sunday night. The deceased was a son of the late Capt. W. E. Ardrey and was of large and prominent connections in this county. He left here several years ago for Texas, where he hoped his health would be benefited. His condition variated under the atmosphere of that climate, at times improving, but never to such an extent to admit a hope of permanent relief. Several weeks ago his brother, Mr. W. M. Ardrey, left for his bedside and since then has stayed constantly by him. Dr. Ardrey was a brother-in-law of Mr. Hugh W. Harris and a first cousin of Mr. James A. Bell of this city.
DR. LUCIUS LEE ARDREY.
Dr. Lucius Lee Ardrey, youngest son of the late Capt. William E. Ardrey and Mary Margaret Robinson, was born in Providence at the old ancestral Ardrey home, in the year 1873. So young to die, the Master must have had sore need for him in His vineyard over yonder, to have taken him away, just when his skill and knowledge of the "great white pleague" had become so necessary to his fellow-man.
After completing his high school education at home, he went to Trinity College, and then attained his medical education under Dr. Munroe at Davidson and at Bellvue Hospital in New York. He was married to Miss Lois Harris, daughter of the late Robert Harris, of this county. To them two children were born, little Lusius, who died in infancy, and little Isabell, who with her mother, survives to mourn the loss of the most tender of fathers and husbands. After completing his education he located to practice his profession at Burgaw, N. C. There for a number of years he gave the best of his life to those people and they almost idolized him. He had a great heart in him, yearning always to relieve sufering whenever and wherever he found it. His was an impulsive, impetuous nature, and his life battles were sorely fought from his youth up; he was stern and positive yet as gentle as the most tender of women.
In his practice while ministering the afflicted ones he fell a victim to the dread monster, consumption, and soon found he would have to leave the climate of eastern North Carolina. He consulted some of the most eminent specialists in the North and West and then began traveling all over the United States and Mexico to find a climate where he might live, for he was determined on a brave fight for his life. He finally located at Bandera, Tex. After some little time he found the disease somewhat arrested in his case. Possessing a very superior intellect, he then bent his whole heart and mind on a thorough knowledge of this disease, so as to be a benefit to poor, hopeless "lungers." His skill was soon noised abroad and patients came to him in numbers from all over this State and all parts of the country. Owing to his limited strength many had to be turned away. The great ambition of his life was to live to establish a great sanitarium, where he could give hope to the hopeless sufferers afflicted as he was; but God has taken him, and many a poor sufferer is left desolate because his hand is forever stilled and that great generous heart has ceased to beat.
