Obituary: The death angel, that grim harvester, who calleth upon old and young alike in their turn, visited our community again last week and called one who had withstood the vicissitudes of life's journey for many years.
William PEEBLES was born in Hart county, Ky., June 5, 1823, came to Illinois May 1, 1839 with his parents who settled near Chesterfield and has lived in this vicinity ever since.
On August 14, 1844 he was united in marriage to Mary E. J. SMITH, which union was blessed with eight children, five of whom survive him.
His wife preceded him to the better land, departing this life April 9, 1881, since that time he has resided with his son, Perley.
At the age of 14 he was converted and united with the M. E. church and up to the time of his death remained a devoted Christian. He was one of the organizers of the M. E. church in Chesterfield and helped to erect the present church building.
He lived a quiet peaceful life, was free from enemies, and showed a zeal for all Christian work emulated by few. He leaves four sons, one daughter, two brothers, one sister, and numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren to mourn his loss, who have the deepest sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement.
Funeral services were held in the M. E. church on Thursday morning, March 2, Rev. READ officiating, after which the remains were laid away to rest in the PEEBLES cemetery.
