GEORGE W. DARDEN

"Friend after friend departs; Who has not lost a friend?"

   ‘Tis with sadness we announce the death of George W. Darden, who has lived 
for many years in the vicinity of Chuckatuck. He was attacked on Monday last 
with paralysis, and died on Thursday evening following, the 18th instant, in 
the fifty-forth year of his age.

   The death of George W. Darden has cast a gloom over the vicinity of 
Chuckatuck, for he lived so as to win the love and esteem and affection of the 
entire community, by practicing the "Golden Rule of Life." Nay, more, for his 
neighbors testify that he practiced giving and doing, without exacting; thus 
living, he could not have erred in his duty to his fellow man.

   Long will his many deeds of kindness be remembered and cherished by his 
surviving friends. But, alas; he is gone!  The cold, silent grave claims him as 
its victim.

   May his many friends be reminded, by this dispensation of Providence, of the 
shortness of time; the certainty of death and the reality of other grave, and 
govern themselves accordingly.    ONE WHO KNEW HIM.   November 22, 1880.


[George W. DARDEN, of Chuckatuck area, 1826 - 18 Nov 1880,
