You aren't alone. Can't tell you how I identify with that phrase. I love
your cemetery photos. I have been trying to get photos of all my family
graves in Lexington, Kentucky Cemetery, and Abraham Buford is on my list.
It isn't easy for someone who lives in Michigan and is preparing a move to
Tennessee. I think I'll be about an hour of Celina, TN. I have an obituary
for Abraham Buford. It's a sad story.

This is from the Macon (GA) Weekly Telegraph, June 13, 1884, pg 1. [accessed

"GENERAL ABE BUFORD.

The Famous Horse Racer and Cavalryman Commits Suicide

[Telegraphed to the Associate Press]

Indianapolis, Indiana, June 9. - General Abe Buford, of Kentucky, committed
suicide at the residence of his nephew, Benj. E. Buford, in Danville,
Indiana, this morning. General Buford came to Danville Wednesday last to
visit relatives and attend the races. This week he seemed much depressed,
which was visibly increased after reading an article in a newspaper giving
an account of the Buford family, written in connection with the return of
Tom Buford to the Anchorage Asylum in Kentucky, a physical and financial
wreck. The general's fortune had also been swept away. He retired to his
room just after breakfast this morning, and had been there but a short time
when the report of a revolver was heard, and he was found in a dying
condition, having shot himself in the head. He died without a struggle. Two
statements were found, one dated this morning, saying financial misfortunes,
the death of his family, and the troubles of his brother, Tom Buford, who
killed Judge Elliot, were the causes of the act. His remains will be sent to
Lexington as requested by him."

I saved it also as a .jpg image.

Thanks Anne - that phrase suites me to a tee.
