THE MARYVILLE RECORD December 23, 1904
Friday, December 23, 1904



Died on Thursday, December 15, 1904, of neuralgia of the heart, at his home

near Friendsville, Tennessee, E.H. Dunlap, aged 72. Mr. Dunlap was born

February 21, 1833, and raised in this county. All his life was spent on the

farm. He belonged to a family of twelve children, of which two brothers and a

sister still survive him. His family all live to a ripe, old age, their

average age being 74 years. With three still living the average will run

pretty close to 75. Mr. Dunlap leaves a widow and eight children, five boys

and three girls, W.A. Dunlap of this city being the oldest. The rest live near

Friendsville, except one, the oldest girl, who lives at Tipton, Indiana, and

married Dr. J.J. Herron. The children are all married except the three

youngest boys, who are grown men and are at home with their mother. Mr. Dunlap

was a member of the Friends Church at Friendsville and has always lives a

consistent Christian life. He had said a number of times just prior to his

death that he was ready to go any time the Master called. His death was very

sudden. He had just been out feeding his stock, and came in to sit in his arm

chair before the fire and went to sleep. One of the boys was sitting near him

reading and noticed him drop his hand to his side. Thinking that something was

wrong he went over and asked if he wanted anything, but he was dead. He died

without a struggle. He was laid to rest in the Friends Cemetery at

Friendsville. His children were all present. The funeral services were

conducted by Rev. Lindley Jones of Friendsville.
