OBITUARY NOTICE OF: Peek, J. J.: Death of J. J. Peek -- J. J. Peek departed this life at his home near Jeremiah this county on last Sunday morning. The immediate cause of his death was bilious colic. He was seized with the dreadful disease Friday night previous. Drs. J. B. S. Martin, of Cookeville, and Reece, of Oak Hill were summoned to his aid and all that medical skill could do was done, but without avail. Esquire Peek was one of the best men this county has ever produced. . . . He has been a member of the County Court for many years and was its Chairman for two consecutive terms a few years ago. He was and has been for many years a warm, devote and energetic member of the M. E. Church, South, and his home was always wide open for its ministers and those who were active in the cause. He was a Master Mason and belonged to Cookeville Lodge and always took a lively interest in its affairs. He was buried on Monday last with Masonic honors by Cookeville and Livingston lodge in the presence of a great throng of his neighbors and friends. He was a valuable man to his family, to his country and to his church, and his death will be greatly regretted wherever he was known, and the people of Putnam will miss his prudent, wise and consistent advice and counsel. He was about 60 years old, and leaves a wife, son and several grandchildren to weep over his sudden and unexpected departure, and their loss God alone in His goodness and mercy can supply. . . .
