David Blunk was born in Harrison County, Indiana, Oct. 14, 1813. He departed this life Dec. 20, 1906, being 93 years, two months and six days old. He was married to Temperance Hadley, Dec. 24, 1840, their married life being 66 years. To them were born ten children, two having died in infancy. Samuel died at the age of five months; Harvey at the age of nine months, George H. died at the age of 22 years. Those that survive are his aged companion and following children--Mary Jane Prather, David E., John W., Jeremiah W., and Sylvania S. There are 25 grandchildren living and five dead. There are 43 great grandchildren living and nine dead. There was one great-great-grandchild which died in infancy. Grandpa or Uncle Davy, as he was commonly called, was a man of great will power, always ready to go where his business called him. He was cheerful in disposition. He was a kind husband and a loving father. He was much thought of by all who knew him. He united with the Regular Baptist church in his boyhood at Friendship, Hendricks county, Ind. Before he died he prayed for his children and told them he wanted them all to live right. He knew his time had come to leave this earth and he was ready to go.
Dearest father, you have left us, Here your loss we deeply feel; But 'tis God Who has beref us, He can all our sorrows heal. Yet again we hope to meet you, When the day of life is fled; Then in Heaven with joy to greet you, Where no farewell tear is shed.
