D. W. SULLENBARGER
A wide circle of friends will regret to learn of the death of Mr. David W. Sullenbarger, which occurred at his home in Knoxville at seven o'clock this morning, following an illness with asthma and complicating weaknesses of several years duration. Mr. Sullenbarger had resided in Morristown until about a year ago, when he and Mrs. Sullenbarger went to Knoxville to make their home with their unmarried children. For more than two years, he had been suffering with asthma, but between attacks would rally and insist on resuming his work as carpenter and millwright. He excelled at both trades and his services were always in demand. Mr. Sullenbarger belonged to the class of conscientious workmen who need no watching. He was a dependable as day itself and went at his work with a vim which only the pleasure of service can inspire. His regret in his last months was not the pain and suffering which marked each day but the fact that his efficiency had waned. To the end, his spirit of cheerfulness in the home remained unchanged and on last Sunday he had the pleasure of having his entire family with him, including his daughter, Mrs. George Halley, of Missouri. He seemed to realize that he did not have many more days to live and said that he regretted death, not for itself, for he had no fear of going, but because he enjoyed living and would liked to have a prolonged his days. Mr. Sullenbarger leaves no earthly estate of any great dimensions, but is enshrined with a monument of respect, confidence and esteem in the heart of his friends, and a memorial of love and devotion in the hearts of his family to whom he was the kindest of husbands and fathers.
Following a short funeral service which will be held in Knoxville at four o'clock this afternoon, the remains will be brought to Morristown by the Stetzer funeral establishment and taken to the home of Mr. Sullenbarger's daughter, Mrs. B. H. Havely, on Central Avenue. Here at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon services will be conducted by Rev. J. Harvey Deere, assisted by Rev. J. M. Anderson. Interment in Jarnagin cemetery.
Mr. Sullenbarger was 73 years of age. He was of Dutch ancestry, being the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Albert Sullenbarger, who resided at what is now called River Bend Farm, where Mr. Sullenbarger was born and reared. He was a member of the Modern Woodmen, and during his early thirties became identified with the Baptist denomination, joining Macedonia church, where he still retains his membership.
Surviving are his wife, Miss Elizabeth Owen, and the following children: Mrs. George Halley of Armstrong, Mo.; Mrs. W. V. Kirby, Mrs. Ova Price, Miss Carrie Sullenbarger, and Miss Dannie Sullenbarger of Knoxville; Mr. W. A. Sullenbarger of Erwin, and Mrs. Harris Havely and Mrs. B. H. Graves of Morristown.
Of rather low build and with a sturdy physique that bespoke both strength and endurance, Mr. Sullenbarger had a pair of bright, blue eyes that wore always a twinkle of happiness and fun. Cheerfulness, kindness, efficiency and good-will were his predominating characteristics. Those who knew him liked him well, and, in his death, his community loses one whose example, if universally exemplified, would make the world a better place in which to live."
