in the 85th year of his age. He had lived in Buncombe County for 70 years and

District in the State Senate in 1809, 1812, 1813, and 1814 and represented
Buncombe in the House of Commons in 1817 and again in 1819. Blessed with a

father and a friend, he was faultless. His death has created a vacuum which
will not be easily filled. He died calmly and peacefully having a desire to
depart and be at rest.
