He moved from his home in Madison County ot a farm near Greenville and resided in Wayne County until last fall, when he moved with his family to Scott County near Sikeston. On the 27th day of July 1879, he was married to Miss Mattie Sutton, sister of Marcus Sutton, to which union a number of children were born. The wife and five children survive him. He was a consistent member of the Greenville Baptist church for many years, and his home was always open to his pastors. He had been in rather poor health for a number of years and only six days before his death he was stricken with pneumonia and owing to his frail constitution the attending physician was unable to give relief. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. H. M. Duncan, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Green cemetery on Big Lake Creek. His conduct in everyday life is sufficient testimony as to his reward, Mr. Settle had many friends in this community and the Journal joins the in sympathy for the bereaved family. A Friend.
