TRUITT was born in Kentucky, March 5th, l8l9, and died at the home of his son, MARION TRUITT, in this city Monday morning, May 7th, l900. He moved to Indiana about l840 and married NANCY LEIGH, who died in l848. To this union were born three children; MARY ELIZABETH, an infant sister and MARION TRUITT who now survive him. In l849 he married LUCINDA J. STOKES who died in September, l850 (sic), after their removal to Iowa. To their marriage six children were born, of whom the following are living: MILFORD F., LUCINDA F., SARAH A. and THOMAS N. TRUITT. For many years, deceased was a member of the Methodist Church but in his last years was not united with any denomination, although from words to his children during his last years and sickness, it is known that he still held to his early faith in the life to come. The funeral services were held by the Rev. W.H. Ilsley, of the Presbyterian Church, at the residence, after which the remains were laid at rest in the Hall Cemetery in Woodland Township. Thus has passed away a man ripe in years whose form and face we shall see no more on earth. Though poor in this world's goods he was rich in all those qualities which constitute true manhood. He was an honest, temperate, industrious, loyal and patriotic citizen. During his long life he witnessed various changes in the history of his country. He was a pioneer who belonged to the log cabin days of fifty years ago. May he rest in peace.
