Uncle Dave Eubanks, one of the pioneers of the country, died at his home in the Rocky Creek Community last Monday evening at the ripe old age of 83 years. He had been in failing health for many months but confined to his room a comparative short while.
Back in the old days before there was any George County, Uncle Dave was one of the leading citizens of Greene County and served on the Board of Supervisors for quite a while. At the time that George County was created he was serving as President of the Board and was active in helping to create the new county and was elected President of the Board in George and served for several terms as such.
After retiring from the Board, he devoted his time to his farm and other personal interests but never lost his interest in public affairs. He was a member of the Baptist Church, lived a Christian life, was loyal to everything that was for good, a man of few words but enjoyed the friendship of everyone. He was loyal to his county, state, and nation, a model citizen, a devoted father and loyal friend. He was buried in the Rocky Creek Cemetery. Rev. G.S. Jenkins assisted by Rev. Gilbert had charge of the funeral services.
He is survived by five sons and five daughters all of whom live in the Rocky Creek Community except one daughter in Mobile. They are: Berry, John, Jim, Lyman and Dan, Mrs. J.H. Courtney, Mrs. M.M. Havard, Mrs. W.E. Berry and Mrs. Keith Brannon; a large family connection and a host of friends who are grieved at his going, and we extend sympathy.
