Note: The following notice from newspaper was glued in front of Bible:

"Died

At Greenville, N. C. on the night of the 18th . inst., Col. Thomas C. Singeltary, in the 33rd year of his age. A devoted wife, an only brother, other kindred and numerous friends mourn their loss. In character he was gentle, affectionate and true, and they who knew him best, and loved him most, are not without hope that the great, just and merciful God, who "seest not as man seest," has taken their loved one to an eternity of blessed rest and peace for Christ's sake."
