Mr. Tom Starr, known all •over
this Nation, died at his homo in
Canadian I/i;trict last week. JIo
was a man with a history—not so
bad we hope as some try to paint
him. We tako the follwing from
Mrs. Sallio Mahry'a letter to the
Advocate, for she know'him well,
as a close nifjfhbor for years: "The
noted Tom Starr departed this life
yesterday, the 7th ul this mpnfch.
ife had huflored long and severely
when ho was relieved of his afflic-
tions bj- the cold hand , o(
death. He was horn in tho State of
Tennopsee, carao to this country in
h)s youth and lias since then spent
the most of bis life in great perils.
He was, at one time an cxilo from
his country, his home, his lovod
onos and till thai was dear to him,
hilt long boforo his dc/ith he *topp-
<•3 his wild carter and sent his last
days in pcacc and qr.ictude. He
seemed to realize that the end was
n^ar several weeks before his death,
as ho frequently told bis children,
"that lyis tinm had come and he
wSofd'noon leave them." Uncle
Tom, though a professor of no
leligion, exercised faith in tho God
of Heaven itnd in tho Lord Jesus
Christ, and often in conversation
with Mrs. Davis, his daughter,
would tell her ho was not afraid to
die, that the Lord had forgiven
him of his frespussos and would
meet liisGod in penco, Uncle Tom
had a kind bcnovolent heart in his
dear old bosom. Ho bestowed
eCarity where charity was due; no
hand left empty-from his door was
friend to the opprossod, ho fed the
hungry and clotlied the poor. IIis
age was unknown, unless Aunt
Ruth Bean ha< a record of his fam-
ily. He has many relatives and
friend in the Indian Territory who
s^mpfhlae with us, for we will miss
hyn now that ho is laid away' and
I jtow join with his many friends
in aayiug, "peace to his dust."
