DIED-ThomasH. Tamplin of
St. Louis; No. Mr.. Tamplin
was born in Camden county,
January 4th, 1889, he left here
when quite young, going to St.
Louis; Mo, where he grew to
manhood, and graduated with
honors, just before the late
war. after which he came back
to his old home, and enlisted in
the war; was captured at the fall
of 11atteras, and with some other
prisoners he continued to serve
III the war until its close with
honor and distinction. AT the
close Of the war Mr.. Tamplin
made St. Louis his home, going
there in the fall of 1865. He
died April 9TH; 1897. Aged So
years and 3 months. He leaves
a wife and several children to
mourn his loss. We had the
pleasure of knowing Mr.. lamp
lin, as he visited his old home
III the summer of 1894. He was
a true type of the Southern gen
tlelnan so often spoken of before
the war, but now nearly ex-
tlnct, he was one of the best
men we ever knew, and we deep
ly regret to hear of his death,
and offer our sympathy to those
who mourn his loss. Ia.
