From "The Robesonian," Lumberton, NC, 11 October 1897:

LT. WELLINGTON WISHART DEAD

LT. Wellington Wishart died Oct 9th, 1897, at his home near Lumberton, in this county. He was nearly 65 years of age and married Delany Meares in September 1858.

He was a Democrat of Democrats all the days of his life. LT. Wishart was Captain of the Militia in his district before the war, and entered the Confederate Army in April 1861, as Second Lieutenant of R.M. Norment's company, afterwards Company A, in the 46th NC Regiment (Inf), Cook's Brigade. And no more gallant brigade was in the Army of Northern Virginia, no better LT. was in that brigade and no company was superior to Company A in that regiment, and no officer in that company excelled LT. Wishart in faithfulness, fidelity and valor. His record in that army was such that if deeds on earth can entitle one to enter the pearly gates of heaven, when his pure soul appeared there "the recording angel dropped a tear upon his faults and blotted them out forever".

But he did not rely upon his own good deeds or upon his strong will, but upon the promises of One whose promises never fail, upon Him, "who marks the sparrows fall, who calms the elemental war, whose mantle is yon boundless sky". For he joined the Baptist Church at Antioch at the age of 18 and remained a member of that church until 1868, when he had his membership removed to the Baptist Church at Lumberton, of which church he was a member at the time of his death; and as a member you would not have to go to the church books to find out the fact, but would be firmly convinced of it by his daily walk and conversation.

He was a true and loving husband, a kind and affectionate father and a sincere friend, and I doubt that he had an enemy in the world, and if he did, it was, I think, without just cause. He was an honest man and as Pope has truly said, "An honest man is the noblest work of God". I have spoken truthfully, and what more could I say, for what higher perfection can a man reach than being the noblest work of God?

What better advice could I give to his seven children, now in gloom and sorrow, than to walk in the footsteps of thy father? And to them and his wife, now in agony and tears, I would also say: ".....And angels lead him to those bowers, Where endless pleasures, virtues deeds repay".
He resided in 1850 at Robeson County, NC. southern division, 1850 census, dwelling #341. He resided in 1870 at Wishart, Robeson County, NC. 1870 census. He resided in 1880 at Wishart, Robeson County, NC. 1880 census.
