"The Hendricks County Republican, Danville, IN, Thursday, December 4, 1890
Samuel McPheeters, father of Mrs. Jesse Thompson died this morning at two o'clock, aged eighty nine years. It is not known when the funeral will occur.
Thursday, December 18, 1890
Mr. Samuel McPheeters was born in Shelby Co., Ky, March 3rd 1802; died on the 4th day of December, 1890; aged 89 years, 8 months and 1 day. He had by inheritance, a good constitution and long lease of life. His father was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, and had an old fashioned family of 12 children; two of whom were in the war of 1812. At this writing, a sister in California is the only surviving member of this large family.
When Mr. McPheeters came to Washington Co., Indiana was a territory. The Indians were here, and but a few white settlers. Some dwelt in block houses, and all lived in quite a plain way, but were an honest, hardy class of people. To the pioneer settlers, and the Kentucky hunters, we are largely indebted for our advanced civilization and prosperity as a state. Mr. McPheeters was united in marriage to Miss Eliza Garret, June 5th, 1827. At Crawfordsville he entered land, and made a farm on which they lived for many years. Both were members of the Presbyterian church, and in devotion to the profession they had made, they rode on horse back as many as 12 miles to church. Later on they moved to a farm north of Danville, where they resided until blindness and old age, made it necessary to remove to the home of their daughter, Mrs. Jesse Thompson of this city. There the old people were made welcome, and were better cared for than they could have made in their own home. Mrs. McPheeters deceased before him as did also five of their children. Two daughters, Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Ousley, twenty grandchildren, and twelve great grandchildren mourn his loss, all of whom hold his name in reverent esteem. Six of his grandsons, the Thompson brothers bore his remains to their last resting place.
Mr. McPheeters was a good man, husband and father. His funeral was largely attended, yet it was noticeable that more of his early associates had either passed away or were not able to be present.
Young man, when you read this, remember that if you would live an honored and long life, follow the example of this brave soldier of the Cross, live soberly, righteously and Godly in this present evil world. "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his Saints." J. H. HULL"
