AN OLD RESIDENT DEAD
Benjamin B. Tadlock, an Old Citizen and Mexican War Veteran, Passes Away at the Age of 80 Years
On last Friday evening Benjamin B. Tadlock, an old and respected citizen of this place, passed away at his home on West Third street from the weakness and debility incidental to old age. It had been a year or two since "Uncle Ben" as he was familiarly known to his many friends, had been seen on our streets, but during his long period of feebleness he was the object of the tenderest solicitude by all who knew him, remembering as all did, his honest and blameless life, his affection and kindness as a husband and father and his many good qualities as a citizen, neighbor and friend. He had been a resident of Lineville for 36 years. He was a soldier in the Mexican War, having volunteered at the age of 18 years, and for many years past has been a pensioner. An aged widow and five of the eight children survive him. The children living are Mrs. Delia West, Mrs. Paralee White and Earl Tadlock, of this lace; Mrs. Trucy Reveal of Ottumwa, and Mrs. Lottie Belvel, of Des Moines, all of who were present at his funeral. The family have the sincere sympathy of all in their sorrow and bereavement.
Benjamin Bullington Tadlock, was born in Orange Co., Indiana, Jan. 31, 1828. He came to Lineville about 36 years ago. He was married Aug. 1st, 1854, to Miss Martha E. Saylors. To this union was born eight children, three are dead, five are living, four daughters and one son. He also leaves a wife, who has traveled by his side all these years, sharing his sorrows, as well as his joys: may the grace of God sustain her to the end and bring her to a happy reunion with the loved one gone.
He joined the M. E. church South in a meeting held here by Rev. S. S. Hardin over 30 years ago. He loved to go to church, and was faithful to do so, until the infirmities of old age came upon him, so that he was not able to go. He often thanked the Lord that it was well with him, as it was. He was grateful for every blessing that come into this life. A short time before he died, he said that he loved everybody. He suffered a great deal some days before he die, but when the end came, he sweetly fell asleep in Jesus.
He died Feb. 7th, 1908, being 80 years and one week old.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Holland at the M. E. Church South, on Sunday. Feb. 9, and the remains laid to rest in the South Lineville Cemetery.
To you, whose souls are heavy and whose hearts are torn, I would say, remember that, "God is a refuge and a present helper in every time of need."
Make the following your prayer: "Tarry with me, O, my Savior!
Lay my head upon Thy breast, Till the morning; then awake me Morning of eternal rest."
