Wm. C. Swindell.

Undated article from the Nannie Brown Collection; original source
unknown. Surnames in this article include Enochs, Ford, Hayden, Hugely,
Maxey, Noel, Ragland and Swindell.

“Died, at his home in this place, Sunday morning, Dec 1st, 1889, of
general debility, after an illness of 18 days Wm. C. Swindell, aged 79
years and 7 days. Deceased came to this county from Kentucky in 1833,
settling on the farm where he was buried. He was born in Virginia in
1810, where he grew to manhood and married Miss (Murium) Ford to whom
six children were born, all of them—Mrs. Dicie Ragland, Mrs. Caroline
Hayden, Mrs. Sallie Hayden, Mrs. Augie Enochs, Mrs. Fannie Maxey and Mr.
Joel Swindell—still living.
Sometime after the death of his first wife he married Miss Corrilla Noel
in this county, who survives him. Deceased removed to Madison from his
farm some four years ago and was a good citizen and kind neighbor. He
leaves a host of relatives and friends in this part of the county to
mourn his loss.
The remains were laid to rest in the family burying ground on the old
farm Monday, after funeral services by Eld. Jacob Hugely. Thus another
of our old landmarks has crossed the river. May his soul rest in peace.
The Advance extends sympathy to those who mourn him.”
