  		Sudden Death Sudden Death. To the Editor of the Enterprise. Our community was shocked last Saturday morning with the sad news that Mr. W J. Trollinger, a merchant at Setzer's, was dead. He had attended to business as usual on Friday.- but soon after eating his supper was stricken with paralysis, and died about four o'clock Saturday morning. He was in his 38th year, was a strong, robust man, and twelve hours before his death bade fair for a long and prosperous life. Such deaths, and the records cf them are of late so numerous, save to the living, though strong and robust, "Set thine house in order for thou shalt die and not live." He had been married only three months, and the stroke falling so suddenly, with only a few hours warning on the heart of the young and widowed one has almost crushed it. He was buried at Catawba on Sunday. The funeral services were conducted by Bey. J. B. Marsh in the presence of a crowded house, where sad faces, and flowing tears bespoke their sympathy for the bereaved and their respect for the dead.

  1900 United States Federal Census Name: Nanie L Trolinger Age: 34 Birth Date: Nov 1865 Birthplace: North Carolina Home in 1900: Anderson, Caswell, North Carolina [Caswell] Race: White Gender: Female Relation to Head of House: Daughter Marital Status: Widowed Father's Name: Thomas Burton Father's Birthplace: North Carolina Mother's Name: Sarah M Burton Mother's Birthplace: North Carolina Eye-witness account of Lightening strike that killed J. A. Trollinger by Nancy Lee Burton Trollinger McMullen: "Another one of the stories that is a favorite of my children was a time in her life [Nancy Lee Burton Trollinger] just before "Young Will" was born. One Sunday night at Uncle Albert's and Aunt Sallie's, friends and relatives had stopped in from church which was about 600 yards across the street from the house. There was a terrific storm brewing. The room in which they were gathered had a fireplace with a window on each side. Lightning struck the chimney and Addie Reid, Sallie's daughter, and the young man to whom she was engaged [J.A. Trollinger] was sitting by the fireplace, and were instantly killed. The lightning set fire to the curtains and to Addie's skirt. My mother and Uncle Albert blistered their hands rubbing out the flames. The young man was knocked from his chair but not so Addie. Her high button shoes were ripped at the seam just as though each stitch had been cut with a knife. When she was lifted from her chair, her shoes fell from her feet. She was wearing, as was the custom in the 1800's, a corset of steel stays. At the end of each stay there was a drop of steel. A double funeral was held for the two and they were buried side by side" told by Nancy Bee McMullen Lea Boone daughter of Nancy Lee Burton Trollnger in Burton Our Ancestry Caswell County 1793 to 1978
