Notes

Death

In less than one month after the marriage of our brother John, our brother, Stephen, was called from our family circle by death. Our dear brother had suffered long and severe with indigestion and accompanying ailments. He was a good religious youth, never partaking with any of the dissipations of frivolities of his rough neighborhood. Although he never joined any church, yet he was outspoken in favor of religion and good morals and often rejoiced with the Christian people at church and at the neighbors in religious meetings. The body of our brother Stephen was the first buried at the Huffman grave yard.
