DOVER, PoPE Co.,, ARK, June 10, '79. EDITOR RussELLvILLE DEMocRAT:-
 It is with emotions of pain and sor- row that announce to you the decease of an old respected cifizes neighbor and friend, Dr. John McFaddin, who departed this life this day at his resi- dence in Dover, Pope Co.,, Ark, at } o'clock D. m, Tuesday June 10, 1879, after an illness of nine days of coagesA ton of the brain aged sixty-four years, seven months and eight days.
 Dr. McFaddin was born i'll Rock bridge Co.,, Virginia, on the 2d day of November, 1874. Having graduated and obtained his diploma in Materia Mediea in - McDowelps Medical College, St. Louis, Mo-, he went to Springfield in that State, from thence he moved to and locatedin Dover, Ark. in April 1S44, where he had been en- gagged in the practice of his profession for period of over thirty-five years, part of which time he had associa ted with him as partner his. old friend Dr. - Davis, formerly of Springfield, Mo, noble, high-toned gentleman and most excellent physician who died within few years after their partner ship association, greatly esteemed and universally regretted. He also after the death of Dr. Davis formed part nership with Dr. k. E. Harrell which continued until the commencement of the war between the north and south when it was dissolved by the force of circumstances created by it. Dr. Har- rell yet survives him, though in feeble health, and is resident of kussellyille, Ark. is a good physician, and possess ing soul as capacious and generous as was ever implanted i'll the bosom of man. r
 Dr. McFaddin had the best medical attention of the country, Drs. k. NJ. Johnson, ". c. Marberry, J. k. Kin nev, J. M. Yancey, and c. l.. kirkscey, who did everything within their power to save him, but Providence decreed otherwise. No people under the wide canopy of heaven, within the same ra- dius and containing the same number of souls could be more largely indebted in graGtud to benefactor and frienu than were the poor, destitute, sick and afflicted mortals at whose bedside pr. McFaddin watched, waited and admin istered (and in which duties he was so frequently aided and assisted by the gentle and soothing hand of woman, his dear and now disconsolate wite) through so many long years of toll, la bor and privation without any pecunia- " reward or even the hope thereof, in the performance of which duties his physical ability was worn out and his constitution much shattered and great ly impaired; not so, however, with the noble, generous sympathy of his soul, ever full of the milk of human kindness. Hundreds and thousands of dollars due him in his practice he never asked for; was never known to sue or press any one. Liberal and kind in his nature; jealous and devoted in his friendship; honorable and just in all his dealings with hls fellow man; unsurpassed by any in hospitality and without enemies, he had endened himself to all who knew him. Deeply and sorrowfully do we mourn and grieve his departure from our midst. He leaves a disconso- late wife and Nu only child, a son near five years old, with innumerable friends to sympathize and sorrow with them iIi this heart-rending bereavement. @
