| Text | Died July 8th, at the home of his daughter in Exeter, Tuesday evening at 2 O'clock, Uncle George Ervin, was called away, after about 8 years of affliction. Many friends and relatives were present. There were 6 of his children at his bedside when the sad news came. Uncle George was a good neighbor and citizen and the people of this community will miss him as it has been Uncle George for many years. Uncle George was born in Tenn., May 5, 1830. He was 77 years, 2 months and 3 days old. He leaves a wife, 5 sons, 5 daughters and a host of relatives and friends behind. Uncle George was the father of 13 children and the grandfather of 30 all living and the great-grandfather of 5 who are living. At 4 O'clock Wednesday evening the Odd Fellows took charge of the remains and the hearse took him to the Maple Grove Cemetery where he was laid to rest to await the coming of Christ. May the choicest blessing rest upon the bereaved family and the companion who stood at his side and have been so attentive to fulfill his wants as far as any one on this earth could do. Farewell Uncle George. Farwell Father. We hope to meet you in Heaven. Research Note: When searching the newspaper files and looking for Irwin, look for Erwin, Ervin, and all variations of the spelling. They must have lived at Woodruff, a community later called Wayne. |
