Article Text: Lexington, Ky., February 4.--Maj. G. Henry BUFORD, of Yarnallton, a wealthy and prominent farmer, died this morning. Maj. BUFORD was a brother of Gen. Abe BUFORD and also of Col. Tom BUFORD, who killed Judge ELLIOTT, of the Court of Appeals. A singular fatality seems to have attached to this family. Many years ago, before the war, Sinkley BUFORD, another brother, was shot and killed in the Court House at Versailles by George CARTER. Gen. Abe BUFORD, depressed by the loss of his fortune, committed suicide in Indiana, and Tom BUFORD, smarting under the conviction that he had been unjustly deprived of his legal rights by the courts, slew in the streets of Frankfort the lamented ELLIOTT. The death of Maj. Henry BUFORD removes the last of the brothers. They had one sister, Miss Mary BUFORD, who, besides possessing all the dignity and accomplishments of womanhood, also possessed the great courage and decision of character for which the family was noted. The family was one of! the earliest to locate in Kentucky, and from father to son have always been among the foremost supporters and patrons of the turf, having bred some of the finest thoroughbreds ever turned out in America. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ KY-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
