W.E. Hassell Visits (1890)

Excerpted from the December 30, 1889 Creswell Letter:

Mr. W.E. HASSELL, of Chowan county, spent several days in our place as the guest of his brother, Dr. J. L. HASSELL.  He brought his colt over with him and gave us several exhibitions of his speed.  The colt is 3 years old and moves up well, and with a little more practice and age he will make a record of 2:40 or less.

Creswell Letter (September 20, 1889)

The following items are excerpted from the Creswell Letter column:

  • Dr. J.L. HASSELL and wife were summoned to Chowan county last Saturday to the bed side of their sister, Mrs. W.E. HASSELL, who is quite ill.
  • We learn that our popular Sheriff J.B. CHESSON, has appointed, or contemplates appointing, Mr. E.G. EBORNE of our place, his Deputy for this section of the county.  We think he has made a wise selection, and hope the appointment maybe, if not already made, as he is a man who will fearlessly discharge the duties of a Deputy Sheriff, and we think will give general satisfaction.
