The Henry County Weekly, October 30, 1896
Death of Mr. L. D. Tarpley
     Mr. L. D. Tarpley died suddenly at his home last Saturday evening, about 
five miles west of McDonough.
     As was well known to his friends, he had been in an almost helpless 
condition a good long while from the effects of a stroke of paralysis, and when 
the second attack came complete paralysis set in, and in a very short while
ended his life. With the assistance of some of the family he had gone out on his
front porch, and with an exclamation of pain sank in his chair and expired of
pain before anything could be done for him.
     Mr. Tarpley served as a faithful and gallant soldier through the 
Confederate war, and was a good citizen of Henry county. He had the respect and
esteem of all who knew him, and much sympathy was extended him in his 
affliction.
     A large number of friends gathered Sunday afternoon to attend the funeral,
when his remains were laid away in the family burial ground.
