“DEATH OF AN OLD PIONEER.
Thomas Horrall died on Saturday last at his home about six miles south of this city having attained to the ripe age of ninety two years. He came to this county in 1809, at which time there were not more than a dozen families living within the forks of White River. He was in the Indian War, under Harrison, and the sword (which does not compare in beauty with the elegant blades of modern manufacture, having been made by a native blacksmith) he used is still in possession of his children and is a very formidable looking weapon, if it isn’t very pretty.
He was a member of the M. E. Church seventy-five years. He served upon the first grand jury ever empanelled in Daviess County. He was married four or five times; his last wife died about ten years since. He leaves six children, among whom are Dr. W. A. Horrall; ex-postmaster, and Mr. S. F. Horrall; of the Vincennes COMMERCIAL. The old man’s vitality was extraordinary, even up to within twenty-four hours of his death he insisted upon waiting upon himself and bringing water from the well. In the course of his long life he did not accumulate much property. He leaves, however, a good farm. He was a good citizen and a good neighbor. May he rest in peace.
We are permitted to copy, from a proof slip, the following obituary from today’s Vincennes COMMERCIAL, written by the editor of that paper, who is a son of the deceased:
The deceased was one of the pioneers of the “Forks of White River,” as in those early days that locality was designated. He was born in South Carolina, about sixty miles from Charleston. His father, Wm. Horrall, was a Revolutionary soldier, and fought throughout the struggle for liberty, from first to last. With him, and a few other relatives, the family emigrated to this part of Indiana, it then being a territory, of course, in 1809, fording the Ohio river at the falls at Louisville, KY., or where Louisville now is. This was seventy years ago, and there were at the time they located as above stated, not a dozen white families in a circuit of many miles east, west, north, south. William Horrall, father of the subject of this sketch, lived to be near a hundred years of age, and being a Revolutionary soldier, as a mark of respect to his memory and services to his country, he was buried with the honors of war.
Thomas Horrall, Sr., was a soldier under General W. H. Harrison, was in the battle of Tippecanoe, and at the Council between Tecumseh and Harrison, in this city, held of the green in front of the Harrison Mansion, now occupied by Hon. W. F. Pidgeon. With the sturdy pioneers of that day, he opened the way in Daviess County for large and prosperous settlements in different parts of the county, ten, fifteen and twenty miles apart, and lived to see the forests felled and the whole county most densely populated, and these settlements grew together until no longer were settlements: known in the sense used in those days, but they had all given way to the great mass of people and become one. At a ripe old age, and in the very full enjoyment of his mental faculties (until within a few weeks of his death), he passed away to that “journey whence no traveler returns.”
The funeral took place at 11 o’clock a.m. Sunday, 9th inst., at Bethel Church, five miles south of Washington, Rev. T. A. Long, of the M. E. Church, officiating. A very large concourse of relatives, children, grandchildren, great-grand-children, nephews, nieces, and others more distantly related, were in attendance. He leaves six children, three daughters and three sons, living, and many grand-children, to mourn his departure, and though his demise at such a great age was to have been expected at any hour for the last few years, the grief and sadness was no less poignant. He was the father of the editor of his paper, and of Dr. W. A. Horrall, Washington, Indiana, and the grand-father of Sylvester, Darius A. and Irvin Curtis Horrall, residing in Decker Township, this county.
He was a consistent and earnest Christian, being a member of the M. E. Church for seventy-five years. He was not an over enthusiast, but a calm, faithful and devoted Christian leading a life, during all these years, above all reproach, and being at peace always with all men, it can be safely and truly said that he died without an enemy in all his wide circle of acquaintances – reaching as it did to all parts of the county – or in the wide, wide world.
At the time of his death, he was, perhaps, the oldest man in Daviess County. He belonged to that class of pioneers whose tenacity of life has been so often the subject of remark in memoirs. He was a man, through all his life, of marked and decided opinions, a close reader and independent thinker, and having by his own exertions, secured a good education, his opinion on religious and other subjects were respected by all who knew him. As to his future beyond the dark river, he never was heard to express other than the fullest confidence of a rich reward on the other shore, and none who knew him could doubt that his calm, earnest, abiding faith was well founded. In the full assurance of a goodly heritage above, “Uncle Tommy Horrall,” as he was familiarly called by all, crossed the dark valley, where age and afflictions are not known. Rest in peace.
“Vital spark of heavenly flame,
Quit, O, Quit this mortal frame,
Trembling, hoping, ling’ring, flying,
O the pain, the bliss of dying,
Cease fond nature, cease thy strife,
And let me languish into life.”
“Hark! They whisper: angels say,
Sister spirit, come away!
What is this absorbs me quite, -
Steals my senses, shuts my sight,
Drowns my spirit, draws my breath,
Tell me, my soul, can this be death?”
“The world recedes; it disappears;
Heaven opens on my eyes; my ears,
With sounds seraphic ring,
Lend, lend your wings! I mount! I fly!
O grave where is thy victory?
O death where is thy sting?””

"DEATH OF JAS. V. WHITTEN.
A telegram was received Sunday last from Dr. Whitten, at Lincoln, California, that his son, James Whitten, had expired and that his body would be immediately expressed to this city for interment. The remains will probably arrive today in care of Hyatt, Levings, & Co. The deceased died of consumption. He was about 25 years of age. In company with his father he left this place for California in May 1877, hoping by a change of climate to conquer the insidious disease. The father of the deceased, Dr. A. M. Whitten, is himself in delicate health, and will not return home at present. The Odd Fellows will take charge of the funeral of the deceased."

It is the correct James Lents. Phebe was born in 1880, so she probably was not yet born when the census took place.
The proper names of the children are, James V. b.1862, Mary M.b.4 Mar 1865
Mariah C.(Jane) b.1866
Matilda Agnes b.1869
Sarah A. b.1877
Phebe b.1880
James Lents b.Mar 1836
John Gabriel b.18 Aug 1848
My Great Grandfather is George Raymond Lents, the brother of James and John, their mother Christina was the daughter of James and Julia Splalding, so that makes us distant cousins.

Jerry, thanks for the information. It looks like I may have been given some bad information several years ago. Now I have a problem.
In the 1880 census Barr Twp Daviess Co, IN, I have found :
Lents, James, head, 42, farmer, b. IN, parents b. KY
__, Catherine, wife, 38, keeping house, b. IN, parents b. KY
__, James, son, 18, works on farm, b. IN
__, Mary, dau, 14, at home, b. IN
__, Jane, dau, 12, b. IN
__, Agnes, dau, 8, b. IN
__, Sarah A., dau, 3, b. IN
Is this the correct James Lents, son of John Jacob and Christina Spalding? Looks about the same except for the addition of Agnes Lents and there is no Phebe listed. Unless Agnes is Phebe.
Do you have an approximate date of birth for James Lents? Do you have an approximate date of birth for John Gabriel Lents? It appears I had the two confused with each other.
My direct line is with John Barton Spalding who married Mary Ann Pate and was son of James Spalding and Julia Montgomery.

"DEATH OF A PIONEER.
John Bradford, one of the oldest citizens of Daviess County, died at his home in Sugarland, Thursday in the 87th year of his age. He settled upon a farm in this county in 1815, and lived upon the same farm until his death. The cause of his death was due to a concatenation of ills incident upon old age. He married soon after he came to the county, a Miss Wilhite, who died about five years ago. He was blessed with eleven children, eight of whom are living. He was a good citizen in every respect, and was loved by all who knew him. It is said that he never had an enemy. He served upon the first grand jury Daviess County ever had and he survived all the other members of the jury. His remains were buried yesterday at Sugarland. "As the sheaf is gathered in its season, the Lord of the harvest brought him to the grave in hoary age." May he rest in peace."
