DEATH TAKES DR. BARTLETT
Prominent Physician and Citizen of Harrison County, Answers the Last Call.
The Daily Telegram., February 26, 1908
Dr. Thornberry Bailey Bartlett, one of Harrison County’s prominent and highly esteemed citizens, is dead at his home at Mt. Clare after a lingering illness, in the seventy-sixth year of his age. Dissolution occurred Tuesday night at 8 o’clock.
Dr. Bartlett was born January 17, 1833. He was one of the oldest and best known practicing physicians in Harrison County, and had a wide acquaintance in Barbour and Lewis counties.
A year and a half ago he was the victim of a stroke of paralysis, from which he never fully recovered. This, together with other diseases incident to old age, caused a rapid decline in his health during the last few months and terminated in his death as above stated.
During the Civil War he espoused the cause of the Confederacy, and served as surgeon of the Twenty Fourth Virginia Regiment in General Gary’s Brigade, C. S. A., entering the service in June, 1861, and closing with the surrender of Lee’s Army at Appomattox, April 9, 1865.
In politics he was a Democrat of the Jeffersonian type; and was an admiring disciple of William Jennings Bryan. Until very recently he took much interest in politics, was well posted upon all current events, and was a formidable antagonist to any who dared to oppose him in an oral discussion.
In religion he was of the Baptist faith, and for many years he had been a consistent member of the congregation of that denomination at Center Branch.
Dr . Bartlett and Rhoda Ann Hudkins were united in marriage on the 23rd day of February, 1854. To this union were born six children, and besides the oldest which died in infancy, he is survived by the following: Mrs. Dora D. Linger, Vandalia; Leonodas Bartlett, Buckhannon; Mrs. Hanna R. Linger, Fairmont; Mrs. Camdena Wetzel, Lost Creek; and Mrs. Florence Hickman, Mt. Clare. His wife preceded him in death by five years.
Short funeral services will be held at his late residence in Mt. Clare on Thursday morning at 8 o’clock and his body will be shipped to Clarksburg on train No. 2 for interment in the I. O. O. F. cemetery, where the services will be concluded, the Rev. Lloyd Holden officiaiting.
