After that time he lived with some of his children until a few weeks ago, when his condition became worse, he requiring constant attention, and others interfered and had him sent to the Bedford county house assuring them he would have good treatment and care which he failed to get. On Sunday before his death, his children went to see him and found him in a critical and uncared for condition. He was brought home at once, but did not recover, and on Thursday he departed this world to join other loved ones.
