Wm. H. Needham, who suffered a paralytic stroke while on his way to Franklin to attend a rally during the campaign of 1888, died at his home in Needham Sunday night, aged about fifty-five years. Since he was stricken with paralysis he has been very feeble but the direct cause of his death is attributed to inflammation and ulcer­ation of the bowels. Mr. Needham was well known all over the county and had a host of warm friends, who were much surprised to hear of his death, for al­though he was in feeble health, it was not generally known that his condition was dangerous. The funeral took place from the Second Mt. Pleasant church on Tuesday afternoon.
