The Marietta Journal  December 8, 1898
Our community was sadly shocked on Saturday, the third, by the death of our
neighbor, Mr Thomas I MEEK, of heart failure.  He was in the yard when stricken
down by the last of foes, death.  Mr MEEK had eaten a hearty dinner, and had
gone out and was watering his horse, preparing for work, when one of his little
boys saw him fall, ran to him calling his mother, and every effort available was
made to restore him, but to no purpose.  He only breathed a few times after his
wife reached his side.  Mr MEEK was born in Cobb county, near Marietta, on July
28, 1842.  He served as a Confederate soldier in Phillips' Legion; was wounded
in the right arm, having nearly lost the use of it.  He was a courteous and
obliging neighbor, kind and considerate husband and father.  Had been a member
of the Baptist church 25 years.  He leaves a wife and eight children, four at
home.  He was interred at Midway cemetery on Monday, the 5th.  The community
deeply sympathise with the sorrowing family in this their hour of grief.
