family left Llano yesterday for San Saba, where they will make their future home.
Judge Flack is going to that place to take charge of his law office, as his son, Joe P.
Flack, will go to Menard, where another office will be opened. E.J. Dalrymple will
have charge of the Llano office, Judge Flack the one in San Saba, and Joe P. Flack
the one in Menard. Judge Flack stated to us in connection with his move that he
expected to be in Llano a good portion fo his time, though would make San Saba
his home. This family has many relatives and a large circle of friends here who
regret seeing them leave our town, but will wish for them abundant prosperity in
their new location in our sister town.”²

Obituary

Nov 27, 1924

The Llano News-Thursday, 27 Nov. 1924-”Death of E.J. Dalrymple-Eugene James
Dalrymple died at the Physicians and Surgeons Hospital in Austin at 2 o’clock in the
afternnoon of Sunday, November 23, 1924. Burial was in the Llano cemetery the
following Monday after the funeral service had been held at 3:30 o’clock in the
afternoon at Methodist Church...death came as a result of a sudden attack of
paralysis. On Saturday, November 3, Mr. Dalrymple, in company with Miles Butter,
S.S. Smith and a traveling man was going on a deer hunt. While on the Honey
Creek road, about 15 miles from Llano, he suddenly became paralyzed. He was
brought back to Llano and given treatment. On the following Tuesday his condition
became worse and he was taken to the hospital at Austin. For several days
thereafter he appeared to be improving, regaining much of his strength and the use
of his limbs. It was believed that he was on the road to recovery, and all left his
bedside except his faithful wife, who remained with him through the long days and
nights in the hospital. On November 19, when he appeared to be stronger than at
any time since he was stricken, he developed bronchial pneumonia. That, with
other complications, was more than he could stand. From then until Saturday
morning he gradually began to grow worse. Saturday, about noon, his condition
took a rapid turn for the worse and he lapsed into unconsiousness. His children,
relatives and friends were notified that the end was not far off and those who could
do so rushed to the bedside. Throughout Saturday afternoon and night and Sunday
morning he lay unconscious struggling in his helpless way for the breath of life. His
fight was made the harder, his body was made the weaker...here>...On June 14, 1900, he was married to Miss Jessie Alexander, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Alexander. To the union were born six children, two of whom,
Frank and Eugene Jr. have preceded their father into the other world. Besides his
widow, he leaves his four children Tate, Emily Alice, Edwin and Edith; one sister,
Mrs. Gussie Townsend; three brothers, William T., Sebe H. of Llano and Archie D.
of San Antonio, and many other relatives residing in Llano, Menard, Austin
Georgetown, San Antonio, Uvalde, Fort Worth, Dallas, Mexia and Houston.”²
