The deceased was born in Bloomfield, Ind., Sept. 28, 1833 and died suddenly from dropsy of the heart at his home at Gravity September 9, 1907. On February 5, 1857, he was united in marriage to Nancy E. [lizabeth] Woody and to them eleven children were born, seven boys and four girls, all of whom, with the exception of Martin Emerson, who died in infancy, are still living.
