I have no connections to this gentleman, I am indexing the local (Monroe, LA) paper and wanted to help some people. Enjoy!
The Louisiana Intelligencer

Page 2, Column 5
DIED.
At Monroe, on Sunday the 29th of March, 1868, Dr. C.H. Dabbs. It is again our sorrowful duty to chronicle the death of one of our oldest and most esteemed citizens and dearest friend.
DR. CHRISTOPHER HUNT DABBS was at the time of his death, the oldest adopted citizen of Monroe, and among the natives, only two gentlemen now live, who were here when he removed to this place, more than thirty years ago. His identity with the Ouachita country however dates anterior to his residence among us, having previously resided in Catahoulda parish.
Few men occupied as high a position as a physician. Socially, he had no superior. He filled, with credit and ability, many important public
offices. He had passed three score years, and spent a useful life, kind, charitable and just, he was God's noblest work "An honest man."
Many a tear will be shed for you, old friend; and your memory will be cherished by all who know you.
New Orleans and Texas papers please copy.
Notes: Resolutions of Respect by the Masons can be found in the April 8, 1868 issue, page 2, column 5.
