      Copy of letter written by Gabriel Trullinger to his brother Daniel, spring of 1848:
      Dear brother: Farewell. A long farewell. I have followed you thus far. I can follow you no farther. From the pleasant vales on Deer Creek to the green spot on Coal Creek, thence to the broad plains of Iowa, extending from innocent childhood up to the meridian of life, yea verging towards old age. But at this point our journey through life together must end. We shall see each other no more. My bones must shortly lie beneath some grassy nook of Iowa and yours behind the western hills. But in that day they will be found. Our parents and Andrew lie buried on Graham Creek, our youngest brother near the turbid waters of the Wabash, while our youngest sister lies on the Des Moines. Yet God will bring them all forth. Adieu dear brother, a long adieu. Depart in peace, obey God and love your country and be happy. And remember me when far behind the great hills. And although far removed from each other I hope strangers will act the kinsmans part and bear my body to its long resting place. And when you retire to some lonely spot beside some waterfall and view this address then remember that the hand that wrote it may be still in death. Farewell dear brother, a long farewell.
      D.T. from G.T.

      As Daniel Trullinger was leaving Iowa by covered wagon for the Oregon country, Gabriel was unable to tell his brother goodbye so he wrote this letter. The places mentioned show the family had travelled from Pennsylvania, to Ohio, to Indiana, to Illinois, to Iowa and to Oregon.
