The Senate observed solemn services in Wasuinevon on April 16 for the late Senator Zebulon Baird Vance of North Carolina. Senator Ransom announced his death at 10:45 p.m. Saturday, praising Vance as a great statesman and beloved public servant. The presiding chaplain Milburn led prayers invoking comfort for the widow and children as North Carolina and the nation mourned their loss.
Illustrious Senator Zebulon Baird Vance died at 10 40 PM after a period of illness and a fatal stroke. He had shown improvement overnight, sat to breakfast earlier, and slipped into unconsciousness around 12 30 PM as his family and son Charles N. Vance moved to his side. The death ended a long public career with his family present and the city aware of his condition.
