Mrs. Blackwelder Sleeps Throught the Night and Wakes in the Dawn of a Brighter World.
The city was shocked yesterday to hear of the sudden death of Mrs. Margaret M. Blackwelder, which occurred yesterday morning between the hours of 4 and 5 o'clock, at her home on West Seventh street. Mrs. Blackwelder had been in feeble health for some time, but not until a week ago was she confined to bed. She had since then had heart trouble, and occasional fevers. Tuesday night she felt better and insisted that none of the family should sit up with her. When her husband, Mr.L. A. Blackwelder, went home from the depot at 12 o'clock, he gave her some hot lemonade, and at her request went up stairs and retired.
Yesterday morning between 4 and 5 o'clock, Miss Lou Blackwelder woke and hurried down to see how her mother was resting. She was so still that she at once divined that something was wrong and going up to the bed was shocked to find that her mother was dead. The breath had left her but a few moments before, for she was still warm. Heart trouble was the cause of her death.
Mrs. Blackwelder was born Margaret Gingle, of Cabarrus. She was born October 20, 1830, and was therefore 65 years of age. In February, 1849, she married Mr. L. A. Blackwelder , the veteran policeman of Charlotte, and had since spent her life in this city. They raised a family of children, those living being; Mrs. A. P. Brown, Mrs. T. J. Manus, Mr. Charles Blackwelder, of Greenville, S. C.,; Mr. Sinclair Blackwelder, of Columbia, S. C.; Mr. Ed Blacwelder, of the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad, and Miss Lou Blackwelder.
Deceased was a life-long member of the First Presbyterian church. She was devoted to her church, her husband and children. Her heart was right before Him who readeth hearts, and to-day her children can rise and call her blessed. To all her bereaved ones the sympathy of many friends is extended, but especially to the aged husband, who is deprived of his comfort and stay.
The funeral services will be conducted this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the residence by Rev. Dr. Preston. All of the children and grandchildren of deceased will be present.
