John B. Blake, about 88, died at the Lincoln County Hospital Tuesday night after a long illness.
His parents were the late Dr. George Washington and Henrietta Metcalf Blake and he spent his entire life in Lincoln County. The Blake family was among the most prominent of the pioneer families of this county. Mr. Blake served four years as Circuit Court Clerk of Lincoln County and about sixteen years as Deputy Trustee of the county. He was City Clerk for a number of years and served in this capacity until his health necessitated his retirement.
At one time, he was State Senator for Lincoln County. He was a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
Funeral services were held Wednesday at the Higgins Funeral Home by Capt. S. W. Toal, new pastor of the Episcopal Church and R. A. Largen with burial in Rose Hill Cemetery.
