The deceased was a worthy, good citizen and a most excellent man. In all his dealings with the world, he was scrupulously exact and honest. He left a disconsolate widow and several children and grand-children, besides numerous friends, to mourn his loss. =========================================================================== NOTE: there is some discrepancy in the date of death. According to Wiley Jones in his book "Rest In Peace, A Cemetery Census of Taliaferro County, Georgia," the tombstone of Thomas Chapman shows his death date as Oct. 12, 1853. The obituary shows date of death as Oct. 18, 1853.
