Dear Brother
I write you these few lines hoping to find you well as it leaves us at present.
You will not be surprised to hear that poor father is dead. He died on the 27th
October after a lingering illness which no tounge can describe. His complaint
was softening of the brain. He lay for a long time and could not speak nor hear
and 3 days before he died he had fits every quarter of an hour and died in one
of them with Frank holding his hands.
Dear Brother, He's gone from our sight but he still liveth as good a father as
ever lived and although after he was took bad he turn very vulger. He did not
know it or he would not have done it. But God knows the reason and if ever a
soul went to God, my poor father has. We intered him on the Sunday, October
30th by the side of poor old mother and Minnie when a very large number of
people follow him to the church. May the Spirit of God lead us to meet
again on the other side.
