Thomas Dunlop, our fellow townsman, died November 12, 1904. He was a
beloved
husband and father. For several months he had suffered with cancer of the
throat which
had defied the physicians skill to stay its progress, and when death came,
it was to release
the tired sufferer. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. John H. Bellot,
at the residence
of the deceased, after which the remains were conveyed to the beautiful Oak
Wood
cemetery where they were laid to rest. The old Confederate veterans turned
out in mass,
and marched in solemn procession to the last resting place of their old
comrade in arms,
where they formed around the grave, and after the reading of the burial
service, all, with
bowed heads, repeated the Lord’s prayer in concert. Mr. Dunlop was born in
Glasgow,
Scotland, August 1, 1837. His early life was under the influence of the
Scotch Presbyterian
church. He came to America in 1858, and after arriving in this country, he
resided a short
time in Georgia, afterwards removing to Alabama, then finally to Texas in
1872.
When the civil war broke out, he cast in his lot with the people of the
South. He was a
member of the first company that left Alabama for the front; first
belonging to the 2nd,
afterwards to the 51st Alabama regiment. He was captured several times
during the
war. He leaves a devoted wife, Mrs. Clara Dunlop, a daughter, Miss Mary
Dunlop,
and a son, Mr. James Dunlop, besides three sisters in Scotland.
