The Fairfield Recorder - July 20, 1888 edition

  DIED - At his residence three miles north of Fairfield, on Saturday, July 14th
1888, Mr. Coleman Tally, aged about 60 years. He came to this county from 
Cannon county, Tennessee, about 16 years ago. By industry and economy he became
one of the county's substantial farmer citizens, and was held in high esteem by 
his neighbors and many friends. The deceased had been ill several weeks with 
flux, and though he improved some at first, he gradually became worse until 
death closed the last scene. He was a member of the Baptist Church, and will 
be missed by his brethren. His remains were interred in the burying ground on
his place. Elder E. J. Brown, officiating at the gave. The funeral was one of
the largest ever seen in the county, many mingling their sorrow with that of 
the bereaved family. The deceased left to mourn the loss of husband and father, 
a wife and several sons and daughters, and a number of grandchildren. The 
deceased was a good neighbor and a warm friend, and his death is his county's
loss.
  Peace to his ashes.
