    • An old Citizen dead.

      Died, Jan. 8, 1900, At the home of his son in law, S. M. Wood, Richard Lee Blackburn. After an illness of two years of that dreaded disease consumption.

      Mr . Blackburn was born in Fairfax Virginia, March 7, 1824.: He was the son of Robert and Jane Blackburn, who with their children, emigrated to Missouri in 1835, where Mr. Blackburn resided until his death. He was married to Elizabeth V. Gill in 1849, at St. Charles, Mo. To them were born eleven children, six who survive him. His wife preceded him to the grave in 1880.

      Mr. Blackburn's death had been expected for several months. He was well aware that his time was short and made preparation to that effect. He said many times he was prepared and ready to die; that he was only waiting for the Lord to say,"Well done thou fa'thful servant come up higher." Mr. Blackburn was a good neighbor, kind husband and affectionate father. He was honored and respected by all who knew him. He has many friends who will mourn the death of their friend and neighbor. He always remembered the poor and was ever ready to help those that were in distress. His enemies were few if any. He would say to the bereaved children, weep not for their loving parent who from you is gone forever, but prepare to meet him in the realms above where there will be no parting and all shall be perfect happiness.
