TEBBETTS
More than forty years ago, Judge J. M. Tebbetts, a courtly gentleman of the old ante-bellum days, came with his family to Harrodsburg, purchased the splendid old mansion on Danville avenue, erected by John D. Bowman, and settled among us. Much of his early life was spent in the State of Arkansas, where he practiced his profession, becoming as a young lawyer, prosecuting attorney and, later, being elevated to the judiciary. He had acquired a comfortable fortune before his removal to this place and had retired from the practice of his profession. His wife was a lady of culture, of beautiful character, and they added much to the social life of the community. Their children were Major C. H. Tebbetts,, Mr. Howard Tebbetts, and Misses Minnie, Lillian and Annie Tebbetts. Mrs. Tebbetts and Miss Annie, the youngest daughter, died a number of years ago, but the other children are still living, all of them at Pittsburg, Pa. After the death of his wife and the marriage of his children, Judge Tebbetts removed to Pittsburg, Pa., and made his home with his daughter, Lillian, who had become Mrs. J. H. Galey, with whom he spent the closing years of his life, and at whose home he died January 16. Judge Tebbetts was a native of New Hampshire, removing thence to Arkansas, and from Van Buren, Arkansas, to this place as above stated. He was a lover of books and a life-long student of the best literature. Kind, courteous and genial, remarkably pure in life and thought, he was always a desirable companion, sought, appreciated and enjoyed by the young and the old without distinction. He had many friends here who loved and honored him in life and who share the sorrow of his children, now he is gone. The remains were brought here for interment, where his wife and daughter rest, and after a short service at the Christian church, conducted by Rev. Robert Simpson, the pastor of that church, assisted by Dr. M. V. P. Yeaman, of the Assembly Presbyterian church, the burial took place in Spring Hill cemetery after nightfall by the softened light of a winter moon. He was ninety four years of age. He had lived until after the sunset of most lives, and it seemed singularly appropriate that he should have been laid to rest in the day's evening, as in the late evening of life, while the subdued light of the moon kept gentle vigil. The remains were accompanied here by his son, Major C. H. Tebbetts, his daughter, Mrs. M. T. Bain, his son-in-law, Mr. John H. Galey, and his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Howard Tebbetts. His son Howard, is an invalid at Asheville, N. C., and Mrs. Galey is ill at her home in Pittsburg, on whose account those who accompanied the remains here were compelled to hurry away to minister to the living.
