About 1880 he moved to Appomattox County and settled near the Hebron Baptist Church. Here he came to be the "beloved physician," because the people counted him a past master in his profession, because they believed in the man, and because, notwithstanding his age, calls from far and near, whatever the weather might be, were answered. One horse, an excellent animal, served him these last twelve years and was led, with the empty, buggy, just behind the corpse in the funeral procession. "And after him lead his masterless steed."
