which two (f his ribs were fractured and Ms system,

It will be gratifying to the many absent friends of
the rtncrable deceased, to lie assure*], that during his
long coirflnement, he received every possible attention
from physicians, friends, relatives and faithful servants.
There was not a moment of time, day or night, for a
year and eleven days that lie was not tenderly watch
ed and nursed hy those who made his comfort their
chief study and concern. His wants were ever kindly
anticipated, and those softer airl more delicate atten
tions always so grateful to the afflicted, were bestowed
by a devoted, gentle daughter, who was ever present to
encourage, to comfort, to soothe and to “minister unto.”
He truly appreciated the attentions and kindness of all,
and never forgot nor neglected to be kind and polite
in return. He was entirely conscious of his approach
ing dissolution—was prepaie.l for the oft dreaded or
deal, and fully realizing the promise, “Lo ! I am with
you always,.’ he deliberately placed his hands—closed
his eyes, and Ins time-worn body sunk to rest, whilst
his spirit, released from its earthly tenement, returned
to God who gave it. r J bus has ]r.sM*.l from earth, one,
venerable in years, a Patriarch in wisdom, respected
and esteemed by all, ami blessed of Heaven.
1 lie lit.* and character of Major Drake, faithfully
written, would furnish much that would not onlv be in
terestin': but profitable for imitation and study. The
writer feels hi.* incompetence to enter into a biograph
ical detail and hesitates to attempt even a general out
line.
John Hodges Drake was born in Edgecombe, (now
Nash,) county. North Carolina, January 2!ith, A. D.,
17b7. Although be was t:>o young t > take part in the
struggle for Independence, lie was reared in “the days
that tried men’s souls,” and w ith the example of his
lather and elder brothers, who periled their lives in the
cause, he early imbibeTl those principles of patriotism
and love ol right and justice, that characterized his
life. 1 iie writei has olten heaid him recount many
stirring incidents of revolutionary times, and loved to
see liis noble countenance lit with the fire of patriotism
•as lie would relate them. One incident especially, of
which be was an eye witness, seemed to warm liis soul
; w it!, fire. It was the attack on his lather’s home in
17Sl by a Captain Beard and hi* hand of lories, brief
ly alluded t<* in \\ heelers History of North Carolina.—
In tlii.-. attack- his lather, a brother and iwo neighbors
contended, hard n> band with Captain Heard and liis
company of over fifty tories, until they were overcome
and cut down, their bodies covered with wounds.
Major Drake lived in hi> native county, Nash, (form
ed Iron; E.lgec nnbe in 1777,) for more than seventy
live years. I here the vigor and prime of liis lit'd aid
energies w ere spent, and his integrity, sound judgment
a'-dgie.it genera! iufurniatßm weie ever leeognized hy
i the people, indeed, for over fifty years he was honor
ed with some public trust which tin* people freely bes
i towed in compliment to bis faithfulness ami competen
cy. iie served in the North Carolina l egislature, in
the House ol Commons, from 17U2 to 17lib, and in ihe
Senate in 1SIK) and ISt in. He was form, re than thir
ty years (Jleik of the Superior C. urt ol Nash county,
and tor a greater length of time served a* a Justice of
tiie Fence, an of,ice. in North Carolina, without emolu
ment, but ol honor-and responsibility.
in politic in’ was not a f>vrhVnn, but always gov
erned by principle. He understood well tin* history of
the Government—the rights granted and ie.-eivcd
State Sovereignty, and States light* and equality were
ea.dinal tenets i,i is poliii.al creed, fully nppiecia
ting the elective franchise, be never failed to vote at a
Presidential elect ii n when constitutionally qualified,
and voted . ons'crentiously and consistently onallocca
si.nis when he cxercif’od the privilege.
A-- a citizen, his long life of active public service is
\ evidence that he was useful and esteemed. He loved
order, and was from impulse ever a conservator of peace,
it is mind was strong and active—and quick to analyze
and disc: iminate. Ills opinions when formed were gen
| craliv correct and couc.hi-ive. i:. , -*ic<* tie was often ap
pealed to hi manors t vont roVcrsy between bis neigh
hors and I.tends. Hi t habits of industry and temper
. a nee may pe. Imps in ome measure ace. lint for ihe as
;t’ IK.-iiing pre.-e. vaii not his physical and mental ener
gies. il n mind \.: s clear and the senses scarcely im
paired up to the la-1 li< nr of h.s lil<>.
In social intcrcou.Te, his exiensive general informa
tion to-ether t) ith a rich fund of anecdote ever at com
ma n!. made hi-, company much sought, for insti uction
and piea.-ure. No one enjoyed in a raiional sense, the
pic., u e of society more than lie did. He had the
liappy lacti ty ot adapting himself to any circle, and of
making every oi.e I. el at ea*e a.id in Ins pres
ence. Jtelovei to win less the ? ports of youth, and to
hear lie joattle of chi.dhood, always liappy to c.m
----t: il.-uie to thc.r eiiloym * :i—pe.haps presenting some
now .’.'creation, or moving some Ingenious test for the
e.io i eot tlieir minds, careful ever to miiwh’ the “ii .*-
la. with the agreeable.” The writer has .men seen him
sealed, su rum,del by a circle of chi!.lieu, and enter
taining them with some pleasing remiuisence of ether
day- to. h ill they Ii leiK'.l with delight—each eager
to catch e'.cry word that fell from the tips us “Grand
Ea D ake.”
Major Duke was a .Master Mason. He was initiat
ed into the Order, in the town of Halifax, N\ 0.; near
seventy years ago. He loved the tenenls of the Order
and on every convenient, occasion, it was his pleasure
to mingle with the cruft. Tlis writer can never forget
the profound impression made on his feelings, on see
ing this venerable man, then near ninety years old, as
the oldest Mason present, carrying “the Sacred Wri
tings,” in public Masonic procession. Though always
unobtrusive, he seemed to lift this ollice with peculiar
pleasure.
In all the relations of life he was fully equal to his
assigned positions. He was generous and brave, with
a heart alive to every noble sympathy. Asa master
he was humane and indulgent liis servants loved ami
reverenced him tiuly. liis friendships wete disinter
ested and true, and nothing seemed to give him more
pain than to tied them misplaced. Asa husband and
father, he wa* tender, gentle, kind and indulgent, lie
cherished in sacred remembrance the wife of liis youth
—the friend and companion ot his rijter years. Togeth
i er, they journeyed hand in hand, for many years, down
. life's path-way—a large family had been reared up to
bless them—then lie gave her to God and to Heaven.
Twenty years ago he deposited her remains in the fam
ily burying ground at the old homestead. But twenty
years had not obliterated her memory, and desiring
that his dust should mingle with Iter's, lie requested
that liis remains should be borne to his old home and
deposited by the side of her s. From these two. now*
silently sleeping, there are living, over one hundred de
scendants. May they cherish their memories and love
the virtues which their lives exemplified.
Major Drake was a believer in the religion oftheßi
ble. Sixty years ago he made a profession of religion
ami was baptised in Switt creek, near Marne’s Chapel,
Nash county, North Carolina. He was a great Bible
reader, and l.is views on the mysteries of the Trinity
seemed to be unusually dear. He was a Baptist, but
not a Sectarian, nor fond of religious controversy, yet
would defend w ith a ‘thus savetli the Lord,” when his
religious belief and view s were attacked. He loved
the service of God. and was always a punctual attendant
a t church. Even in his latter years. Sabbath after Sab
bath. liis bent and venerable form might be seen totter
ing on towards the House of Pi aver. There, none gave
more attentive hearing, or caught more eagerly, every
word that fell from the Sanctuary. His faith remained
unshaken up to his death. Indeed, in his last hour it
shone most clear. Feeling that God had been gracious
and kind to him, lie bore his bodily afflictions w ithout a
murmur, and w hen the dim vista was presented and his
own strength failed, he realized in its fullness the great
promise and found the rod and ihe staff to support and
comfort through the dark valley and shadow of dcatlr-
Pan ’plied with the all-sufficient strength he met midis
mayed the Grim Monster, and died a triumphant Chris-
TtAX. ~
Ait dr his death on Sunday, his body reposed in the
house of liis son-in-law. Maj. J. F. White, where lie died,
until the Tuesday following. On Tuesday morning an
appropriate funeral discourse was pronounced by the
Rev. M. B. Hardin. Pastor of the Baptist Clnireh at Au- j
burn. His remains were then taken in charge by the
Masonic fraternity and borne to the depot, where the
last sad bourns, peculiar to the order, were performed.
It was then placed on the cars, and attended by a num
ber of his children and friends it was safely conveyed to
the boit.-e of his son. Dr. John G. F. Drake, Nash coun
ty. N. C.. arriving there on Thursday evening. 1 here it
was visited by many w ho knew and loved him long years
ago. The old and young, kindred and friends, testified
their respect and veneration. On Friday evening, the j
D>th December, is ‘i.t, in accordance w ith his request, j
his body was buried in the old family burying ground,
by the side of his deceased Wife. Now they sleep—but
in the great day they will arise and join the happy throng
