The end was expected. For days he had been getting weaker and weaker and the end came like the gentle severance of an autumn leaf from its stem.

Dr. T. W. Redwine died last night at 1:30. The end was expected. For days he had been getting weaker and weaker and the end came like the gentle severance of an autumn leaf from its stem. Lacking but a little of being 84 years of age, the harvest time had come and there was but the gradual withering of the branches that had seen their day of full growth, maturity and decline. He passed as he had lived, gently. Funeral services will be held at 11 o'clock tomorrow at Union church, near the old home in Sandy Ridge township. His will be the first grave in the new cemetery at the church, it having been decided to abandon the old burying ground. The remains of Dr. Redwine's wife, who died 1889, are buried at the old cemetery, but will be moved beside his to the new. For more than half a century this good man practiced the gentle art of healing as it was known to the older men of the profession. In the schools in which he learned there was not so much science, because the great discoveries are nearly all of very modern origin, but none surpassed the fine old doctors who, while doing their best for the bodily ailments, never failed to pour balm upon a wounded spirit and to pass to their patients the effect of the love, devotion, and unselfishness that controlled their lives. After becoming too feeble to remain on his farm, Dr. Redwine came to the home of his son, Mr. R. B. Redwine, and passed the last months of his life surrounded by the devotion and care of his children and grandchildren. Among the honored citizens of Union county none stood higher than Dr. Redwine. Born in Davidson county, N. C., April 18th, 1827, he attended the best schools afforded by that county. He read medicine at Mount Pleasant, N. C., under Drs. Smith and Stedman. He located at Samuel Howie's, in the western part of the county, and began the practice of medicine in September, 1846, and was in active practice for fifty-three years. When the war broke out he volunteered and went to the front. In September, 1861, he was elected captain of Company F, 35th Regiment. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1875 and represented Union with great credit to himself and his constituents. In 1880 he was elected president of the Union County Medical Society. In 1848 he married Miss Mary A. Clark and they were blessed with several children, four of whom survive: Messrs. R. B. Redwine, V. C. Redwine, Mrs. Julia Price, and Mrs. M. E. Pollock of Blacksburg, S. C. Dr. Redwine was a quiet, unassuming gentleman of the old school and his aim in life was to make an honorable and useful physician and a good citizen. In that aim his every aspiration was realized. In his declining years he had the conscious knowledge of a life well spent, and that he possessed the love and esteem of his neighbors. He was kind in heart, gentle in though, dignified in manner, and always courteous to both the humble and the great.
