EARLY, ROBERT: Robert Early an old and highly respected citizen of Nashville died at the home of his son-in-law, Mr. C. A. Douglass in this city last Tuesday of paralysis. About two weeks ago Mr. Early and wife came on a visit to their daughter, Mrs. C. A. Douglass, little dreaming that death was hovering over them, and the end so near. Mr. Early has been sorely afflicted for the last three years. He has been in business of various kinds in Nashville for thirty years. He was a devout member of Tulip Street, M. E. Church South, and a member of Royal Arcanum and the Golden Cross. The Press joins sympathy with the stricken family and especially with his estimable daughter Mrs. C. A. Douglass and family of this city. [Date: 1/21/1897, Vol. X, No. 14, Page 5]

ELDRIDGE, CHILD OF NANCY: The two-year old child of Nancy Eldridge, who lives in the 6th District, fell in the fire Friday last, while its mother was not near, and set its clothing on fire. When found the child was frightfully burned, and died in a few minutes. The suffering of the little one is said to have been horrible, and its last breath a relief to all concerned. This is the second child this woman has burned to death, and it does seem that caution is not known in that household. Nancy Eldridge is a very poor woman, and has never been married.
