The death of David LARRICK, Saturday evening, while it came as a surprise to his family and the people of the community, can hardly be said to be an unfitting end to a long life of well spent years. If the old gentleman had a fault, we have never heard it mentioned. He was one of the group of Virginians who came to this county in January, 1976. Uncle James LOCKHART, David LARRICK, O. E. RAMEY and a Mr. JUDD, came together, selected their homesteads in the northwest part of the county, and became the basis of what is called New Virginia. Mr. LARRICK was the next to the oldest of the party and he has survived them all by several years. After a life of industry upon his farm, of some 32 years, and in 1908 he felt able to retire from its active management and enjoy a well earned rest from arduous labor in the city. To such a man mere idleness was insupportable and his garden and lawn received daily attention and labor. Quiet and unassuming, he passed his old age among us, winning the respect of all with whom he had to do. In his young manhood, while in Virginia, he took the orphaned Crabill boys under his care, and William and Lloyd CRABILL, have ever felt the affection and esteem for him with which sons regard a loved and revered father. Mr LARRICK is survived by his widow, daughter Mrs L D GEORGE, two sons, A R and P H LARRICK of Bladen, who are showing themselves worthy children of a father of such estimable character. Death fell upon him as a passing cloud. Stricken on his 84th birthday, while his life's companion was preparing the birthday dinner and arranging for a family gathering to commemorate the event, he lingered but for a day and without suffering, mental or physical, his more than four score years of honorable, upright living was ended, and he passed into the unknown, where sooner or later all mortals must journey. Brief funeral services, in charge of Rev H G Wilcox, assisted by Rev C G Nelson, were conducted from the late home at 1:00 o'clock this afternoon, and at 2:30 services were again held at Plainview Church. Interment was made in Plainview Cemetery." 1925 OBITUARY in Red Cloud Chief 5-Apr-2000 - Down Thru the Years, The Weekly Advertiser 1925 - "Oscar E RAMEY was born in Frederick Co Virginia, July 15, 1851 and departed from this life at Red Cloud March 22, 1925, aged 78 years.
