    The Landmark [Statesville NC] 29 Nov 1883

    BURIAL OF REV. W.B. PRESSLY

    The remains of the late Rev. W.B. Pressly were carried out to the Stirling graveyard yesterday morning for interment. They were attended from town by quite a large concourse, and they were met at Stirling by a very large congregation. The remains were carried into the church, which the good man had served so long and faithfully and touching remarks were made by Revs. J.B. Marsh and W.M. Hunter. The prayer offered by Mr. Marsh impressed all present very deeply, by its beauty and pathos. After the exercises in the church all that is mortal of Rev. W.B. Pressly was committed to the earth.
