Those little lips so sweet to kiss are closed forever now, Those sparkling eyes that shone so bright beneath that pearly brow, That little heart that beat so high free from all cares and gloom, Are hidden now from those she loved beneath the silent tomb.

Valuable Curios Mr. Frank Boyet of Lawrenceburg TN purchased some very interesting relics at the sale of Mr. Thomas Boyet here a few days since. He had an old trunk full of such curios which were principally in the form of old papers. The truck is exceedingly old itself, a date on an old newspaper pasted in the top of trunk being 1793. It was no doubt an old trunk when the paper was pasted there. The trunk was one foot wide by 20 inches long and 8 inches high. This curious old trunk contained papers bearing various dates from March 23, 1700. The most interesting paper of all is a certificate of discharge of Etheldrid Boyet by order of a British General. It is word for word as follows: “Charleston, March 23, 1700. This is to certify that Etheldrid Boyet hath been sick and will not be fit for duty before the 6th of April. Therefore the sd. Boyet is discharged from this tour of duty. By order of the General {signed} John Shepherd” “C.C.” It will be seen that this paper is over 213 years old and is tree-quarters of a century older than this great nation. There are other papers as valuable; old tax receipts written on a slip of paper bearing various dates from June 1701 on up to 1750. Another interesting paper is a bill of sale of what they called in those days a “negro wrench”. This paper is dated 1757. Mr. Boyet showed the Tribune reporter another very interesting thing though not so old; it was an old tallow candle which had hung on a nail on the wall at the old Boyet home place since the bloody days of 1863, it never having been moved in all that time.

A beautiful poem is published in the paper about missing him, last verse. “God needed one more angel there A midst his shining band, And so he bent with loving smile And clasped his darling hand.” John Dysart Sr. -   September 27, 1913 written by R.S. Walker John Dysart was born in Burk County, North Carolina on Dec 25, 1749.  His parents were Scotch - Irish. He served as a soldier from start to finish in the Revolutionary war.  It is not known whether he married during or after the war.  He married a Miss Patten and from this union were born the following heirs; James, Robert, Frank, Charity, Rachel, William, Margaret and Andrew.  By a second marriage to Miss Martha Woods were born the following heirs, James, Davis, John Jr and Assenthia.  John moved from North Carolina to Kentucky and from Kentucky he came to Williamson County, Tennessee and part of the heirs were born in that county.  It is supposed that he received for his serices in the army a land grant and he located a piece of land suited to his taste in Williamson County, and afterwards, about the year of 1801 and 1802 he moved to Bedford County, now Marshall and located on the farm now owned by John A. Bills and later settled on the farm owned by the late John Herron Dysart.  There he lived and died.  His wife, Martha survived him a few more years.  He was 93 years old at the time of his death and the occasion of this reunion dates from his birth 164 years. Mr Walker then gives the names of his heirs. James Dysart was married to a Miss Cowden, who was a sister of the late Dr. John Cowden of Petersburg.  From this union there were no heirs. Robt. Dysart was married to Miss Susan Denny.  There was born to them ten heirs. Rachel Dysart was married to John Denny.  If there were any heirs none are known. Frank Dysart was married to Miss Mary Woods.  Two heirs William Dysart was married to Miss Mary Adams and moved to Dade County, Mo., Eight heirs were born to them Charity Dysart was married to John Woods and from this union seven heirs were born.  After the death of his wife Mr. Woods married her sister, Margaret Dysart and to them five heirs were born. Andrew Dysart was married to Miss Jane Ewing and to them were born thirteen heirs.  While this was the largest family it was noted for its great njumber of singers.  The boys all taught singing schools and the girls were the finest singers.  One son Milton was a prominent minister of the Presbyterian Church.  Of this number of children, but one is living at the present and she is the wife of John a. Bills Andy Dysart was the youngest heir of Joe(did he mean John?) Dysart by his first marriage. Jane Dysart was married to Ben Logan and from this union six heirs were born.  Dr. T.R. Logan of Lewisburg being a grandson.  Ben Logan died and his widow was then married to Daniel Morphis.  To this union four heirs were born. Davis Dysart was marrid to Miss Elizabeht Ewing, a sister of Any Dysart's wife.  To this union eight heirs werre born.  Davis Dysart and family moved to Missouri about the year of 1818 and there is where the Dysart and Heady families were settled and my information is that six Dysarts married as many Headys. John Dysart was married to Miss Rachel Herron and to this union eight heirs, all of whom lived to be grown.  The girls of this family were very prominently known all over as being the best singers of the land.  There are now liivng, Mrs. Mary Coffee, wife of the late A.N. Coffee who was a prominent hotel man of Lewisburg.  Two sons, W.H and Dunlap Dysart, living on a part of the old John Dysart homestead where this reuion was.
