Rev. Mr. Templeton of Rockwall County, Texas, a very warm friend, conducted the ceremony of paying the last tribute of respect and love for this good man. The numerous and beautiful floral offerings, the great number present, among them a considerable number of his army comrades and the sorrowing contenances of all bore testimony to the high esteem in which he was held. Even the colored people in his neighborhood asked to be permitted to take some part in this sad ceremony. In 1835; Mr. Latimer's father, Judge A. H. Latimer accompanied by his wife, came from Tennessee and settled in Red River County, Texas. Here the deceased was born on June 10th 1837. He was a native of the Republic of Texas. With the exception of the more than three years spent in the Confederate service, Mr. Latimer spent his whole life in Red River County, and Texas has produced no better and more patriotic man and citizen and none braver in battle than he. For several years past, because of his advanced years, the health of the deceased had been failing, and he was fully aware that he was near the end. In 1862 Mr. Latimer enlisted in the Confederate service in a 'company' of volunteers raised by Capt. Ed West. This company became Co. 'F' of Whitfield's Texas Legion. Shortly after which enlisting, the 'Legion' was sent east of the Mississippi River; there to remain until the close of the war. Mr. Latimer took part in all the campaigning and battles in which the Legion was engaged. He was always at his post and never flinched when called upon to face the enemy. He was cool and dependable in battle, cheerful, unselfish and kind-hearted in camp and universally liked by all his comrades. He was in every battle, and because of his large statue, it was a wonder to his comrades why he was never wounded. He was married June 5th, 1856, to Miss Mary E. McCurley of Red River County. To them was born only one child -- Georgia A. Latimer. This happy marriage, after many years, was broken up by the death of Mrs. Latimer. Dear Dan never ceased to mourn the loss of his dear wife; though his daughter to whom he was very much devoted, gave her whole thought to try to lessen his bereavement. Thus has passed away one of God's noble men. He was broad minded, unselfish, sympathetic, a faithful friend and as this writer believes, a true Christian. -- Comrade, OBIT: UNNAMED UNDATED, page 148, from microfilm in the Clarksville Library, Reel 2002-2: TWENTY YEARS AGO, CLARKSVILLE TIMES, January 25, 1921 -- Daniel Latimer, Sr., affectinately known to hundreds of his friends, young and old, as 'Uncle Dan', died at his old home, near Madras, at an early hour Saturday night., From BIOGRAPHICAL SOUVENIR OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, Illustrated, by F.
