Aged Resident of Thomas ville Passed Away at Early Hour This Morning.—Fun eral from the Residence on Young Street Tomorrow Morning at 13 O'clock, Mr. Andrew Russell Hargrave died this morning at about three o'clock after an illness of only a short time, resulting from a stroke of paralysis which he suffered late Sunday after noon at his home on Young street. Up to the time he was stricken Mr. Hargrave had been apparently in good health and spirits and no symp toms had appeared which might jus tify the belief that he was threaten ed with any illness. He never fully regained consciousness after the full force of the attack became evident, and little hope for his recovery was entertained by loved ones. Born September 2, 1842 at Inverness, Megantic county, Province of Que bec, Canada, Mr. Hargrave went with his parents when eight years old to Ripon, Wisconsin, where he made his home for a number of years. At the time of the War Between the States Mr.Hargrave enlisted with a com pany of cavalry in the First Regiment recruited from that state and served during the war with distinction. After the coach Mr. Hargrave located in Kansas where he was married to Miss Clara .M. Davis June 20th, 1875. He moved to Orlando, Florida, in 1884,and it was only three years afterward that Mrs. Hargrave died. After building up a large variety works business in Florida Mr. Hargrave suffered its loss by fire and moved to Thom asville in 1889, where, with Messrs. W. H. Reynolds and [.. R. Davis, previously associated with him in Florida, he established the Thom asville Variety Works and continued in the business for some years. For about ten years he has been forced to abandon active business but his mine remained keen and alert and he took’a very generous interest ‘In all things connected with the prog ress and development of this city. He was a man of very dignified bear ing and most courtly and courteous manners. His attractive personality was most evident in his relationships and during his later years he drew to him many friends, who Werte im pressed with his innate modesty, chivalry and integrity. His was a very useful and active lfe and in declining years he spent his time calmly and cheerfully, confident of his reward and mindful of his obli gations as well as his privileges and duties in behalf of his fellow man. A good man has passed to his reward, one faithful in many things and he leaves a heritage of love and sacri fice that we prove a bright and ten der memory to those who have long loved him. Surviving him are three children, Miss Mary Hargrave and Mr. W. D. Hargrave of this city, and Mr. Alex G. Hargrave of Phoenix, Arizona; also three sisters, Miss M. N. Hargrave of this city, Mrs. I. E. Kempe, of St. Petersburg, Mrs. M. A. Light, of Chi p 420, and one brother, Rev. J. W argrave, of St. Petersburg. The funeral will take place tomor morrow morning at eleven o'clock from the residence on Young street. Rev. Campbell Symonds will officiate and the interment will take place at Laurel Hill’ cemetery immediately afterward. The pallbearers will be ‘Messrs. E. R. Jeffer, T. H. Mitchell, W. A. Watt, D. R. Pringle, C. W. Kirby, J. A. Mallette, W. R. McGrew and B. B. Broughton. The department’s brief says that the recovery of alleged excessive char ges prior to September, 1918, has not been asked along with the other be cause the department has been unable to ascertain the facts. The claim made, however, according to the brief is based upon detailed information which was not previously accessible to the government, but was produced during the pendency of the suit. It is claimed by the Department of Justice that Swift Company made no effort to mitigate itsvlosses'at the end of hosttilities, continuing heavy production on the incorrect assump tion that the ‘army would” take the stocks which it ‘hoped to deliver to the government, and, although, ‘the over-curing would have caused reject ion of the supplies by army inspectors damages for these were included. While other packers were dumping their surplus stocks into domestic markets and obtaining for them what ever the market would bbing, accord ing to the brief, Swift Company held their stocks and now demands ‘that the government ‘pay for them when the government finds no’con tractual obligation existed.
