Capt. Julian F. Terrell died Saturday,
April 6, 1901 at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Sallie McGee, in
Milton, W. Va., after several years suffering with stomach
trouble, aged 67 years.
He was born in Hanover county, Va., in June, 1834, and was
married in 1854 to a Miss Christmas.
Probably no death affected the people of this community more
than did the demise of Capt. Terrell, who was known throughout
the entire State and was loved by every one who had ever had an
acquaintance with him. He was a genial gentleman, a
splendid fellow in every way, and during the entire sixty-seven
years of his life was always found to be all right. In the
Confederate army he served most brilliantly and gained many
thanks from the leaders of the "lost cause" for his valiant
services. He raised a nice family, two sons and a
daughter, respectively, C. H. Terrell, of Richmond, Va., J. D.
Terrell, of Charleston, W. Va., and Mrs. Sallie McGee, of
Milton, survive him.
He was always a fighter for Milton's progress, constantly pushing
forth the advantages of the community, and the entire State
loses a great advocate in his death.
His obsequies Monday showed how nobly he was held by the people.
The funeral was largely attended and there were many moist eyes
in the congregation.
Interment was at the Milton cemetery.
