He was at Camp Nelson and after the close of the war was for many years express messenger between Nicholasville and Danville, and afterward succeeded in amassing a comfortable estate as a successful farmer. He was a man of good information and high type of character, a gentile and kind man whose republicanism was firm but never obtrusive.

CROCKETT, COL. JOSEPH
From “Biographical Sketch of Colonel Joseph Crockett A Paper Read Before the Filson Club at its Meeting April 6, 1908”

Major Chambers on Colonel Crockett's Death
Near Georgetown, Scot Co., KY
Nov 20, 1829

Dear Friend: I was pained that I had not the pleasure of seeing you at the burial of Col. Jos. Crockett, six weeks ago in Jessamine CO. I have learned from your letter that you were very sick at the time of his burial and unable to get out of bed. He died at the home of Dr. Bower, his son-in-law. For three weeks or more previous to his death, he repeatedly informed his friends that he viewed himself a dying man and that he was not afraid to meet death at any moment. A few days after he was taken with his last illness, and while he was able to walk about the room, his eyesight failed him. He took the Rev. Isaac Reed to be you and ordered him to bring your son, Joseph to see him, as he had not seem him for some months. On my telling you that you were detained in Jessamine, but would probably be up on Friday, he quietly fell into a sleep. He slept about an hour, and waked and had a severe coughing spell. It was at this time that he drew his breath with great difficulty, and the agony he was in was so great that in two hours after he had awakened from sleep he died. Capt. Wm. Christy, Major John T. Pratt, Maj. Wm. Johnson, Capt. Wm Smith of Bourbon, and the Rev. John Hudson and Mr. Reed were present in the room where he died.

The struggle for breath broke a small blood vessel and he spat a quantity of blood, yet not a murmur or undue complaint was heard. His cough and spitting of blood increased and every breath was accompanied with a groan.

When he was dying I noticed him put his head a little back, closed his eyes as if going to sleep and expired, at the ripe age of 83. His remains were taken to his home in Jessamine and buried with the honor suitable to the memory of a brave and patriotic man, who served his country bravely in the Revolutionary War. The order of procession to the grave was as follows---

The hearse with the military escort, attended by music, on each flank. The relatives, the ladies, the citizens, the fine volunteer company from Georgetown, commanded by Maj. Wm Johnson, with Capt. Thos. Cogar’s company from Nicholasville, the whole conducted by Col. John T. Pratt, marshal of the day. At the grave the usual ceremonies took place by the firing of thirteen rounds by Captains Graves and Leslie Combs, of Lexington, who at the head of the gun squad fired at intervals during the service at the grave. There were present more than a thousand persons with carriages and horses. Such was the good order and decorum preserved that not the slightest accident occurred. At the close of the ceremonies, the Rev. John Hudson delivered a short address touching the high character of Col. Crockett as a citizen, neighbor and friend--a model of virtue and morality, cherished in the affections of all who knew him. Though his manly form lies low in death, his many virtues, his patriotic example, shall continue to abide in the memory of the living. Such, my dear friend, is a brief account of the burial of your father-in-law, Col. Joseph Crockett.

Very truly your friend,
B. S. Chambers

Dan’l B. Price, Nicholasville, KY.

Colonel Crockett’s body was placed near that of his wife, in the family burying-ground a short distance in the rear of his country seat. Thanks are due, by the descendants, to Colonel Bennett H. Young, for his generous act in placing about his last resting place an iron fence, instead of the stone was, which has become sorely dilapidated. Inscribed on the slab, which marks his grave is the simple but eloquent epitaph, IN LIFE HONEST AND PATRIOTIC
