DEATH NOTICES FROM THE NATIONAL BANNER & NASHVILLE WHIG September 27, 1830 He enjoyed, in a high degree, the good opinion and friendship of his old commander, Gen. Jackson; and the President on his recent visit to Nashville, hearing of the sickness of his fellow soldier, in company with Gen. Coffee, visited his sick couch and spent an hour in his company. During his long confinement; conscious for some time that his end was near at hand, he turned his thoughts upon religion; and it is confidently believed that he died a servant of and believer in Christ. In his last moments his drooping head was supported by one who had stood by his aide in many a hard fought battle, and the last words of the deceased were, “Now, turn me over and my soul will soon be in heaven.” Peace to his manes! The simple annals of the poor and humble are devoid of interest; but one should not be soon forgotten who bestowed his best days to the service of his country; who lived a life of active benevolence, and died praising the goodness and mercy of his God! – Rep. (see original) September 27, 1830 The citizens of Nashville are respectfully invited to pay the last tribute of respect to the memory of a worthy stranger by attending his funeral, from the Union Hall, Market street, at four o’clock this afternoon. September 27, 1830
