(Dunlap, by whom he had eight children, four sons, and four daughters: three of whom were at his funeral. His wife died some nine years since. They were both members of the Methodist Episcopal church for a great number of years. His last sickness was short; about the 20th of November he was taken quite _______. On the 26th he told his physicians that this would be his last sickness; talked of the future and said he was not afraid to die, and that he was going home. To his relatives he said, I want you to meet me in heaven, and quoted several passages of Scripture appropriate for the sad occasion. He prayed earnestly for the blessing of God to rest upon his relatives, and remembered with prayerful affection all his grandchildren (about twenty in all) saying God bless and save them.

May all his kindred be well prepared for an unbroken reunion where the people never die.
