- COL. RICHARD HUNTER DULANEY. -
The Richmond Times-Dispatch states editorially in regard to the late Col. R.H. Dulaney, Lieutenant Colonel, 7th Virginia Cavalry. who died recently at Welbourne, Loudoun County, Va.: "It is difficult to describe to the modern generation in appropriate terms the character of a man like Col. Richard Hunter Dulaney. It would require the descriptive powers of Washington Irving and John Esten Cooke combined and an intimate knowledge of the best Virginia and English society for a century past to portray this striking character, whose example of refinement, manliness. courage, piety, and patriotism has just been removed from the State, of whose best traditions he was one of the fairest exponents. The anecdotes of his elegance and his hospitality, of his personal prowess in the field of sport and of his daring deeds on the field of battle, of his sufferings and his triumphs—all will be told, and would not be in place in this notice, which is only to express the gratification and pride of Virginians that the old State has had such a son and their lament that his equal is not left."
