Obituary of Valentine Sevier of Greeneville, Tennessee
Transcribed from original newspaper clipping






Greeneville, Tennessee
DEATH of Mr. Sevier - Valentine Sevier one amongst the oldest,
perhaps the very oldest citizen of our town, died on the night of the
24th [res]ult of chronic affection of the liver. There was no man in his
community whose loss will be felt more than that of Mr. Sevier. He was
between seventy and seventy-five years old, and about fifty years of that
time was spent in the full discharge of the arduous duties of Circuit
Court Clerk.

One of the maxims of his long and useful life was a full discharge
of duty and diligent application to business. There is no doubt but he
fell a victim to his rigid exactions(?), and might have lived to full
four score had he served himself more and his country less. But he is
gone, and the record of his life is without a blot or blemish - his name
will live and be fondly cherished; while the pure water gurgles from his
own native "Spring."

Mr. Sevier was a man of unblemished moral character, and he left the
impress of his own high toned conservative nature upon the town of which
he was the paternal father.
