He was married to Miss Catharine Riggs west of Jacksonville, February 5 1837; and moved to a farm south-west of Clayton, Ill, in 1838. Six children were born to them. Three are living, Mrs. Martha Sloan, Jesse and Reuben. David Bolinger lived on his farm near Clayton, Illinois, forty years. After his wife's death he lived with his son Jesse, near Lamar, Missouri, about ten years. He made his home with his eldest son, Reuben, near Eads, Colorado, from October 6, 1892. He joined the Baptist church before he was of age and lived a good faithful Christian life. Few men were so kind and generous and no member of his church contributed more to it. He was strictly temperate, using intoxicating stimulants only when absolutely necessary and using but little tea and coffee and never using tobacco. He was a strong old man because he had lived a temperate life. Nothing that he enjoyed more in his old age than reading his Bible and talking of it. He enjoyed the weekly visits of the paper of his old home, the Clayton Enterprise. If my fathers belief biased his opinion it was little. I will gibe one as follows: During the presidential campaign of 1860 my father was a Douglas or Union Democrat. He predicted that Lincoln would be elected which would cause war and the slaves would be liberated. A prediction that he did not want fulfilled. After he had lived in Colorado two years he made a visit to relatives and friends in Arkansas and returned home in ill health but soon regained his usual good health. With this exception he had good health while in Colorado until September 4 1898. His illness which did not seem to be serious, was caused from drinking bad water obtained away from home. It is probable that if he had not drank it, he would now be living and enjoying good health. On Sept. 10 he seemed to be well again. On Sept. 18 he had a relapse and was confined to his bed for the first time since he had lived in Colorado. He died at noon, Sept. 27, with his eyes closed as if he had gone to sleep. There was a large attendance at the funeral which was conducted by Rev. F. M. Pierce, of Sheridan Lake, Colo. He was buried in the Eads cemetery. Reuben Bolinger Eads, Colorado
