SUDDEN DEATH FROM
ATTACK OF THE HEART
----------
Mrs. John T. Peek Expired Friday
Evening While Feeding Chickens
----------
(From Saturday's Daily)
----------
Mrs. Rose E. Peek, aged 52 years and 19 days, wife of John T. Peek, one of the prominent farmers of this county, died suddenly of heart trouble at their home one mile west of Waldron, in Liberty township, at four-thirty o'clock Friday evening. She and two of her daughters had been in the chicken yard feeding the chickens and as they turned toward the house after work was done Mrs. Peek supported herself for an instant against a fence and with only the words, "Oh! my" fell dead. She had been suffering from heart disease, but her death came as a terrible shock to her relatives and the bereaved family will have the fullest sympathy from their large circle of acquaintances.
Mrs. Peek was a daughter of James and Elizabeth [Montgomery] Jones and was born March 14, 1863 on a farm in Noble township about one mile from the farm where her death occurred. Her home had always been in that community. She became the wife of Mr. Peek April 25, 1883, and nine of the ten children born to their union survive. They are Mrs. William Thompson, of Casey, Illinois; James R. Peek, of Rush county; John E. Peek, of Noble township, and Rosanna, Carl E., Earl R., Nellie M., Gertrude F. and Presley A., all at home. Mrs. Peek also leaves four grandchildren and two sisters, Mrs. George Monroe, of Noble township and Mrs. J. C. Newton, of Indianapolis.
Mrs. Peek had always shown the greatest devotion to her family and was a woman of influence in her home community, and all who knew her will be saddened by her untimely death.
The funeral services will be held at the home at ten o'clock Monday morning the Rev. V.B. Hargitt, of Waldron officiating and the interment will be made in the Ogden cemetery in charge of Stewart & Fix.
