  	David C. Craighead Dead. David Crockett Craighead, 80 years old, died Tuesday evening at his home on the Judge Moore farm, four miles south of Fulton. Mr. Craighead was stricken with paralysis in July, 1913, caused by advancing age. He was born on the David Craighead place, one and one-half mmiles south of Fulton, November 23, 1834, this land having been entered by his father, the late Solomon Craighead, and lived there until ten years ago. Since that time he has lived on the Lynes farm, south of Ham's Prairie, and on the farm on which his death occurred. He was married February 14, 1865, to Miss Sallie F. Harding (sp), at the home of her mother, northeast of Fulton. Five children were born of the union, all of whom survive as follows: Deputy Sheriff Clarence Craighead, of Fulton; Mrs. W.S. Mirts, of Guthrie; Mrs. Alfred Jatho and Mrs. Miller Fox, southwest of Fulton, and Seth Craighead, on the home place. His wife died June 12, 1889. Mr. Craighead lived a life of usefulness and among his friends he was regarded as a man of thrift and energy. He followed farming until advancing age necessitated his retirement from active work. A short service was held at the family hom at 10:00 o'clock, Thursday morning, and the funeral was held at the Ebenezeer Baptist church at 2:00 o'clock Thursday afternoon, the Rev. J.A. Taylor, pastor of the Fulton Baptist church, officiating. Burial took place in the church cemetery by the side of his wife.
