Sudden Death
Sudden Death. To the Editor of the Enterprise. Our community was shocked last Saturday morning with the sad news that Mr. W J. Trollinger, a merchant at Setzer's, was dead. He had attended to business as usual on Friday.- but soon after eating his supper was stricken with paralysis, and died about four o'clock Saturday morning. He was in his 38th year, was a strong, robust man, and twelve hours before his death bade fair for a long and prosperous life. Such deaths, and the records cf them are of late so numerous, save to the living, though strong and robust, "Set thine house in order for thou shalt die and not live." He had been married only three months, and the stroke falling so suddenly, with only a few hours warning on the heart of the young and widowed one has almost crushed it. He was buried at Catawba on Sunday. The funeral services were conducted by Bey. J. B. Marsh in the presence of a crowded house, where sad faces, and flowing tears bespoke their sympathy for the bereaved and their respect for the dead.

During this time Aunt Sallie and Uncle George gave her much comfort and love. W.J. Trollinger II was born in their home. The store and home was sold and my mother and new baby moved in with Uncle George and Aunt Sallie alternately.....Mother was a widow for twelve years."
