PARALYSIS CAUSES DEATH OF PROMINENT CITIZEN
Alfred D. Meade, the oldest son of William C. and Delilah Hayes Meade, died at 9 o'clock Saturday night after suffering a stroke of paralysis. He had been confined to his bed for the last three or four weeks and his death came as no surprise to those who were acquainted with his condition.
Alfred Meade was born in this township on May 12th, 1844 and his entire life with the exception of what time he served his country during the civil war, was spent in this country. For a number of years he made his home on a farm in Harrison township. He was known as one of the prosperous and most influential farmers of Daviess county, taking an active interest in politics and public spirited enterprises made him well known throughout the county which loses one of its best citizens by his death.
He was sixty-six years old and was an old soldier, he having enlisted in Company E. 5th regiment, Indiana Volunteers, on September 12th, 1861. He was made corporal sergeant of his company with which he served with distinction until May 27, 1864, when at the Battle of New Hope church he was badly wounded. During his term in the army he saw and took part in some of the bloodiest battles of the war, among which were the battles of Shiloh, Stone River, Liberty Cap, Chickamaugua, Chattanoogna,
Buzzard Roost, Brown's Ferry, Ressaca and New Hope church. He was mustered out September 22, 1864.
After returning from the war he married Miss Sallie Shaw in September of 1865. To this union were born six children, three of whom survive him. They are James B. and Edward E. Meade of this county and Frank S. Meade of Bicknell. His first wife having died, he married Mary E. White in October of 1879 and four children were the result of this union, three of whom are still living. They are Mrs. E. S. Johnson of this city; William A. and Martin L. Meads of this county. His wife, half brothers, Roussean and Emanuel Meade of Topeka, Kansas, and William and Sentena Meade of Oklahoma, also survive him.
He was a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Bethany Christian church, which faith he confessed July 14, 1866. He was one of the strong members of the church and during his last illness he ofttimes said that he was ready to answer the call of the Lord.
The funeral services were held at the First Christian church in this city Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock, burial in Oak Grove cemetery. The Ladies' Circle of the G. A. R. will hold their services over the body just previous to the religious services.
