His obituary in the Oxford Public Ledger Friday, January 27, 1893, says:
Death of An Old Citizen.
Mr. W. L. Meadows Passes Away With Heart Disease.
Death has again visited and claimed as its victim our esteemed townsman,
W. L. Meadows, familiarly known as “Uncle Loge,” on Wednesday evening about 8 o’clock. He had been afflicted with heart trouble about two years which caused his family great uneasiness. On Sunday the dread disease attacked him until he passed over the river.
He was in his 58th year, and was a genial, good- hearted man, and a large number of friends not alone in Granville but in different sections of North Carolina, will regret to learn of his death. He was the oldest manufacturer tobacco in the State, having been associated with the leading factory in Clarksville, Va., before the war. He also had charge of the Wilmington Tobacco Works 5 or 6 years where he made a host of friends. He established the first leaf tobacco warehouse in Rocky Mount which has grown to be the leading tobacco market of Eastern Carolina.
He leaves a wife and four children, Mrs. W. Z. Mitchell, of Oxford, W. T. Meadows, of Durham, and two younger sons to mourn the departure of husband and father, but one to whom this dispensation of providence comes with the most crushing effect is the widow, who is sick now--the partner of his bosom, who had shared his sorrows and joys for years; rejoiced with him in prosperity, cherished him in adversity, nursed him in sickness and smiled with him, in health. May God comfort her along with her children during the remaining days of their life here, and finally reunite them in the better life above, where there shall be no parting. “When her summons comes to join the innumberable caravan which moves to that mysterious realm,” may she be granted on abundant entrance into the pearly gates of the New Jerusalem, until which time may she be cheered by the lines of the beautiful old hymn. “In Heaven alone, where sorrow’s knows, There’ll be no parting there.”
To his wife and children we extend our deepest heartfelt sympathies.
The funeral services were held from his late home on Main Street, Thursday afternoon, conducted by Rev. J. S. Hardaway, of the Baptist Church, and the remains were consigned to the tomb in Elmwood Cemetery in the presence of a large number of sorrowing relatives and friends.
