Peter F. Randolph, son of Jonathan F. Randolph, of New Jersey, was born at New Salem, Va., December 1801, and died at his daughter’s, only a few miles from his birth-place, June 3, 1883. At the age of 25, he married Mariah McVicar, by whom he had eight children, three of whom were present at the funeral. For almost eighty years he lived at Salem. While three generations were growing up, and through all that section he was familiarly known and loved as Uncle Peter. Endowed with a good mind and a marvelous memory, he delighted in reading the Bible and presenting the claims of the Sabbath to the hundreds of strangers and travelers who stopped at his house on the National Turnpike. The last two years he has been tenderly cared for by his daughter, Mrs. Thompson, and after gradually failing, he passed away on Sunday morning, June 3d. His funeral was attended by a vast concourse of people, who witnessed by their presence and solemn attention their respect for the dead. The neighboring ministers assisted in the service, and a discourse was preached from Heb. 9: 27.
