He passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Amos ASHCRAFT near Dresden. His remains were laid to rest in the Ridge Cemetery Monday. It was Uncle Major’s custom when he came to town to dance the old time dance for the boys, which they expected and enjoyed, and only two weeks before his death he danced his last time for them very deliberately. — Link to the Obituary of his daughter, Anna (BRUCE) ASHCRAFT: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=message&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.greene&m=2400 — NOTES—RLJ: CEMETERIES OF EASTERN GREENE COUNTY, INDIANA, 1994, G.C.H.S., Jackson Township, Kentucky Ridge Cemetery, Page 119: BRUCE, Hugh B, 12 Jul 1828; BRUCE, Elizabeth 1828—29 May 1901.
