The Notable Lawyer Died at Chris
tiansburg Yesterday.
x Judge Waller R. Staples, of Chris
tiausburg, died "at his home "yesterday
morning at 1 o'clock. Judge Staples bad
beeu In declining health for several
months, but his friends and relatives ap?
prehended no immediato danger and the
sad news of his death received in this
city yesterday moruing was a great shock
to his many friends and admirers here.
Judge Staples wns born at Patrick
Gpurt House in the old family homestead
built by his grandfather in the year 1820,
and spent his boyhood days in his native
county. He graduate'' with h\aa honors
at the University of North Carolinn, at
Chappel Hill and at William and Mary
College in Virginia.
The deceased studied law under Judge
Taliaferro, of Rocky Mount, and when
quite a young man formed a copartner?
ship with Wru. Ballard Preston, of Chris?
tiansburg, who was afterwards secretary
of the navy under President Tyler's ad?
ministration. Judge Staples was elected
and served several terms in the State
legislature from Montgomery county be?
fore the wai and served four yenrs in the
Confederate congress. After the war un?
der the new constitution he was elected
one of tbt judges of the first court of ap?
peals under the present constitution and
served in that capacity from 1871 to 1883.
When he retired from the bench he went
to Richmond and farmed a copartnership
with B. R. Munind, which continued
until his death."Judge Staples, with the
assistance of Judges E. C. Burke and W.
Rlley. revised the code in 1887.
The deceased was a grandson of Mnj.
Samuel Staples, an officer In the Revolu?
tionary war, who was promoted for gal?
lantry on the field of battle ami who af?
terwards married Miss Lncimla Penn, a
daughter'of Aoram Penn, who was a col?
onel iu the same war. Shortly after the
war ended Major Staples moved to Pet
rick county, when it was first formed.
Col. Samuel Staples was '..he first clerk of
the court of Patrick county and held the
position until his death, and was suc?
ceeded by bis son, Col. Abrain Staples, the
father of the deceased, who held the posi?
tion until his>death.
Judge Staples had one brother, the late
Samuel G. Staples, aud several sisters
Miss Nannie Stap'es who married Cyrus
G. Mundenball, of Greensboro, NC; Miss
Kizio Redd Staples, who married Nicho?
las Ilairston, of Mississippi, and Mary
Staples, who married Henry Kellogg, of
Greensboro, N. C. The. deceased was
never married.
.lodge Staples was an old lime Whig
and an ardent union man until President
Lincoln called lor Virginia's quota of
volunteers. It was then that he decided
to cast his sympathies with bis State.
After the war he allied himself with the
Democratic party and ever .since has been
loyal to bio convietious and his party.'
Since his retirement from the bench
Judge Staples has made a valliant fight in
every State and national campaign since,
until his health failed him. He was well
kuown thromrhoiit the State, and upon
his advent as a la syer he at once arose to
prominence aud was considered second to

mentioned above and the children of the
'ate Judge Samuel G Staples, as follows:
Hon. a. P. Staples, Daniel De.T. Staples,
the. late Mrs. E. L. Moir, Dr. Samuel G.
