TEXAS CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE, June 13, 1861, p. 4, c. 2

James Tunnell died on the 10th of May, 1861, of bloody flux, after an 
illness of twelve days, aged 48 years, 10 months, and 27 days.
He professed religion and joined the M. E. Church, South, in early 
life, after which time he lived a consistent member of the same up to 
his death. He left a large family and a large circle of friends to 
mourn their loss; but they mourn not as those who have no hope.

Also, Nathaniel Bascom Tunnell, only child of Perry and Ellen Tunnell, 
of the same disease, aged 13 months and 14 days.

Parents, cheer up! though little Nat cannot come back to you, you can 
go to him.
Joe.
