Mr. Ground emigrated to this county about 45 years ago, and settled at Abingdon, and became a prominent citizen in that section of the county. He was Justice of the Peace for a number of years, was a prominent member of the Christian Church, was upright and honest in his dealings with his fellow-men, and was beloved by all who knew him. He was 83 years of age when he died. He leaves a wife, four sons and two daughters to mourn his loss. All the children are married but two sons.
