This obituary from an unknown paper is pasted in the family Bible of Washington 
TRAYLOR/Mariah Aikman, now owned by a descendant residing in SC.  Washington 
died  in Arlington , Tarrant Co. TX and was buried in Ford Cemetery on what was 
originally Traylor property.

Washington TRAYLOR    Blessed are they who die in the Lord.  Tis a truth full of 
comfort to all surviving friends.  The death of  Bro. Washington TRAYLOR, who 
was born in Spartanburg District South Carolina  July the 3rd 1794 and was born 
again of the spirit Indiana 1825.  And who died at his residence Nov. 27th 1864; 
in Tarrant Co. Texas, calmly, quietly and peacefully on Sabbath.  That day of all 
others he was delighted to meet his brethren and neighbors in class or prayer 
meeting, when there was no preaching at the Church.  Bro. TRAYLOR was what might 
emphatically be called an every day Christian; his piety was deep and abiding.  
His house was a home for the preachers and a welcome and pleasant one as many 
preachers can testify.  Oh! how he is missed in the community where he lived.   
Bro. TRAYLOR greatly desired to live to see his youngest child married and settled 
in life.  The Lord granted him his desire, truly he came to his grave in a full age 
like a shook of corn cometh to its season.  Bro. TRAYLOR sleeps in death:  and when 
the great harvester of the world shal come and shall shout harvest home, we feel 
that our departed brother will be garnered in Heaven.  May the Lord bless his 
children, and grand children who still live and may they meet  their departed 
sire in a world that's free from sin.       James M. JONES
