State Normal Magazine, 1906

Excerpt from State Normal Magazine, 1906

At 2 o'clock at the Yarboro House in Raleigh, Dr. Melver, with Co. W. H. Osborn, of Greensboro, took dinner. While he ate hurriedly, he ate but little, but he was in his usual good humor. On the train to Durham, which left Raleigh at 3.20, he was jovial and cheerful, but when Durham was reached, as he stepped off in company with Mr. P. D. Gold, Jr., to enter carriage in waiting to take them to the Opera House to the speaking, he "I am not feeling well. I think I am suffering with acute indigestion, and instead of going to the speaking. I shall go to a drug store and get some medicine." The drug stores were closed, and he, with Mr. Gold, returned to the train, though he would not permit Mr. Gold to remain away from the speaking. Taking up a newspaper he declared he was feeling better and really preferred to be alone.

When the party returned to the train, Dr. Melver had apparently recovered and greeted the comers cordially. In a few moments he went in the smoker and took a seat at the extreme end, facing the oblong seat which runs across the panel.
