Death of Lafayette Dillahunt On the 39th of September,. 1897, God saw fit to remove from this life Mr. Lafayette Dillahunt, age 67. He had been suffering for the past five years from a tumor formed on the lower part of his spine. About three years ago he had. a very pain ful operation performed, hoping to be permantly cured, but only temp orary relief came, which prolonged his life perhaps two years. The very best medical authority could not promise a permanant cure; yet, un til a few months before his death he had some hope of relief and kept in good spirit. Until a short while be fore he died, no one knew the pain that he suffered, but his suffering be came so intense towards the end of his days that he could not help showing and telling his friends how very great his sufferings were. Mr. Dillahunt has raised a large family of boys and girls, but unfortunately three of them, one girl and two boys have died within the last five yean. His life therefore of late has been one of trouble and misfortune. In all business transactions be has been found to be an honest straightfor ward man. As a county official he proved himself worthy of the confi dence and respect of his people. At home he gave his business the doses attention, and showed by his success as a farmer that be was a man full of energy and good judgement Dur ing the last days of his sickness he spoke kindly of his childhood a: - sotiates, saying at times: “God bless them aIL” He was a kind father, a loving husband, an obliging neigh bor, and a good arisen. Those who knew his real worth as a father husband, neighbor, and citizen, will join me in saying that in his death, his wife has lost a loving husband, his children a kind devoted father; his neighbors an obliging thought ful neighbor, and Jones county one of her best and most useful dtizens.
