Dr. T. D. Rountree celebrated his
45th anniversary last Thursday even-
____ jpg by having a number of his men
enza, and complications, only a few ' friends up for 7 ;O0 o’clock dinner, fol-
hours later Mrs. Dalrymple was
victim of the same malady.
January 14. at four' o'clock, Uncle
Hal ~aF' he>v was familiarly known,
passed away, and eleven hours later
his wife followed him in. deatht **. It
had been her prayer that they might
not be separated even in . death, as
they Had journeyed together through
life, when life’s weary pilgrimage
was finished, that they might be per-

tonally, vet
we are sure, from the many beauti-
ful sentiments "expressed by those who
knew them best, there wer^e none more
universally loved, and they will be
missed as/a passing landmark from
the comrriunity.'
Mr, and- Mrs. Dalrymple lived alone
^osl their farm, where they were com -
fortably provided for, and their home
was a rendezvous for the youngsters
of the neighborhood. It was extreme/
ly pathetic to 3eg the grief stricken
. faces of the, little ones';- as they as-
sembled around the caskets, and real/
ized the loss, of their djeriefactors.
William Dalrympe was born Sept.
12, 1843, age 8^j*ars, five months.
He war marrie(fW^870 to Elizabeth
Wilson. To this union five boys and
one girl were born. She died in 1889,
and in May 1890, he w'as married to
Miss Josephine Williamson.
Mrs.-.Dalrjqnple’s age was 73 years.
The surviving sons, who are pros-
perous and substantia [""business men
in their [respective cities, are, Buel of
Ft. Worth; Vernon of Dallas, John of
Lubbock, and Frank Dalrymple who
lived on the farm and cared for the
'needs of his aged parent.^ '
The daughter also lives in Fort
Worth. .
Rev. John Stevens of Frapklin, a
iife long friend of the family, con-
ducted the funeral service* at the
Prospect Baptist church, where tho
lojved by a number of games of Forty-
two. Mrs. -Rountree had prepared a
most tempting and substantial dinner,
which was served in her usual fault-
less style, with an air of hospitality
and comaraderie surrounding conduc-
ive to an evening of absolute enjoy-
ment. Place cards were in the form
of riddles and answers, the pairs for

So interesting were the games
