Price (of the Martin Pipkin line). Lilla McLure had succeeded in locating her through friends and relatives. Betty Baer: "They said Grandpa Barnabas might have lived longer but he just would ride horseback on his gentle old horse, Lucy. He did not come in one day so they hunted for him, found the horse grazing nearby and Grandpa had slipped from saddle and was lying in the water of the small creek on the place. He was chilled. Uncle Wilbur wrapped him in his coat and they put him to bed. At his age he was not able to survive the exposure so after a short time he died. When dying all were around his bed. He seemed to be smiling and looking into the distance and mentioned his wife's name (Elizabeth Hanna). Papa asked him if he felt he was ready to go and he said "Do you think after serving my Master all these years I am not ready to go - of course, I am." Papa and Aunt Anna told this to me. -- Grandpa Barnabas did not preach at Greensburg, La. church. Their plantation was out in western part of St. Helena Parish (near Amite River) and he preached at Darlington, old country church, 12 miles west of Greensburg. -- The Clinton and Pipkin plantations joined so it (the cemetery) is called Clinton-Pipkin cemetery. -- After Aunt May died (Maria, Uncle Louis first wife), he married--Martha Vance Upson. She went to Centenary College too, at Jackson, La. She married a Col. Upson first. Uncle Henry married a widow lady who never had any children. My father, Wm. C.
