Arthur "Tick" TERRILL

"Tick Terrill"

Former Boone County Citizen
Dies at The Home of His
Daughter In Kansas

Arthur, familiarly called "Tick" Terrill, a native of the Petersburg precinct, this county, died at the home of his only child, Mrs. Frank Laws, at Belleflower, Kansas, December 22. The remains were brought to Kentucky and interred in the family lot in the cemetery at Petersburg. Mr. Terrill was the last of his family and past 78 years of age. He was a quiet and very genial gentleman and everybody at his old home was his friend. When the civil war began Mr. Terrill espoused the cause of the South and cast his lot with her army and took part in some of the hardest battles in that conflict. At the conclusion of hostilities he returned to his farm near Petersburg and gave it his attention until age incapacitated him for labor, when he retired from active life and spent the remainder of his days with his daughter. The passing of Arthur Terrill completes the removal of the last member of the old generation of Terrill's, once a very numerous family in Petersburg precinct, and each ranked among the county's most worthy citizens.
