Richard Addison Dunlap was born near Union, Virginia, January 1m 1858, and died on his farm near Reece, Monday October 1, 1928.
When he was a young man he came to Atchison, Kansas, where he began working for the Symns Grocery Company. Later he moved with his family to a farm near Axtel. He united with the Presbysterian Church in Axtel at an early age.
In November of 1888 he was married to Emma Jane Biddle and moved to Farmer, Texas. To this union five children were born; Fred R., of Eureka, Mrs. Mary Ziegler, of Pratt, John D., of Eureka, Helen V., of Hugo, Oklahoma, and Mrs. Gladys Rockley of Neal. His wife preceded him in death and is buried in Farmer, Texas.
On February 8, 1906, Mr. Dunlap was married to Elizabeth Helsey. They located on a farm near Eureka. To this union four children were born; Ruth M., Martha L., Betrice H., of the home address, and Robert A., of Spearman, Texas. Mrs. Dunlap passed away at the home February 8, 1924.
Mr. Dunlap was a splendid leader in the community and county in which he lived. He took as active part in many civic affairs of his community. For a number of years he served as president of the Reece State Bank. His services on the township, church, and school boards indicate a few of the many services he rendered to his community.
Mr. Dunlap's Christian infuence was one for which his community should be very proud. He always stood for what he thought right regardless of what the public thought of him.
Everyone who knew him recognized that he had a keen, alert mind and he was very intereesing to those whose education was even much broader that his. His wonderful mind never failed him even during the several months of his very serious and painful illness.
He was a noble man, faithful to his family and to his community to the very last. His Christian life and high ideals will be an example and a help to those who strive to live that useful high type of life which he so throughly lived.
Besides his immediate family, Mr. Dunlap leaves to mourn his death, four sisters and one brother.
The funeral service will be held from the Reece Presbyterian Church this afternoon. He was laid to rest in the Reece Cemetery.
