Dr. .fames F. Dulfie, an aged
hysician of Blackstock, Chester
ounty, died at his home there
ast Monday afternoon. He was
,bout 70 years old. He was a
irother of the Rev. R. L. Duffie>
he well-known Moth idist, ir?in
ater of Lancaster county. A8
0011 as Mr. Duffie was notified
>f his brother's death ho went
o Blackstock, but reached there
00 late to attend the funeral,
vhich was at llopewell. He reurned
home yesterday. A Ches;e.r
special in the Columbia State,
>f Wednesday, gives the followng
interesting account of the
life of Dr. Duflie.
Dr. Duflie was a graduate of
the Charleston Medical College.
He went West a fow years before
ihe outbreak of the war,
und at the opening of the mighty
struggle between the States was
a surgeon in the United States
3?valry at Brownsville, Texas.
He decided to cast in his lof with
liis section, however, and enlistsd
in an Arkansas regiment,
serving throughout the war. At
ihe close of the struggle he was
in line of promotion to the post
of assistant general in the Conlederate
service.
After the war Dr. Duffie movsd
bacK to ins old h me, near
Blackstock. He abaudoued the
practice of medicine and labored
lor many years a* a teacher, dividing
his time between this employment
and farming. For the
last few years Dr. Duttie had
been almost totally blind and
been compelled for that reason
to desi9t from all active employment.
His mind was a wonderful
store house of facts, his lib
eral education, united with labors,
having served to give him
a wide ramie o! information.
Dr. Duffie is survived by s veral
brothers, among whom are
the following : W. J. Durtie, of
Columbia, a prominent bookdealer
; M. M. Duflie, Dallas, Ark ,
(deceased,) once Lieutenant
Governor of Arkansas; Samuel
Duffle, lawyer, Texas; John Duffle,
lawyer, Washington; R. L.
Duffle, superannuated M. E.
minister, Lancaster county, S. G;
Alex Dutlie, Circuit. Judge, Hot
Springs, Ark.
