He had been unwell for a day or two, but had not been confined to his bed. About noon on the day of his death he went some distance from the house to turn some cattle out of a field of corn, failing to return as soon as his folks thought he should. [A] search was instituted for him and about 3 o'clock he was found lying in the field dead. There were some bruises about his face and head supposed to have been the result of the fall. GAINER, BRIAN 8/28/1894 With deep regret we chronicle the sudden death of Uncle Brian Gainer, who departed this life July 23, 1894. He was born November 11th, 1828. He shared in the toils and blessings of life for 65 years, 8 months and 12 days. He was united in marriage to Elizabeth A. Vannoy nearly forty years ago, and as the result of this union six children were born, two boys and four girls, five of the children are still living on, and near the old homestead, the oldest daughter having preceded the father in death. The sudden and unexpected death of Uncle Brian tended to deepen the sorrow that separation from friends naturally produce in the human heart. Paralysis or heart trouble was doubtless the cause of his death. We realize that in the death of the above the community has lost one of its best citizens, the family an affectionate father and companion. In many respects the example of the deceased is worthy of patronage, though he was not a professor of religion. There were many traits of character in his life that all would do well to imitate. He was kind to all, especially the poor and needy, lived in peace with his neighbors, aimed to deal honestly with everyone, and would often reprove the out-broken for their wickedness. Hence we deeply sympathize with the bereaved family, who have been bereft of such a friend as this, but may we not hope that God will over rule all to His glory and the good of sorrowing friends. The lifeless remains of the deceased were laid to rest in the family cemetery on the old homestead, there to await the final ressurrection (sic) of the death. The funeral services were conducted by your correspondent. The large gathering of people on the occasion showed conclusively their respect for the departed one. - L.S. Vannoy
