Zebulon, Pike County, Georgia, September 8, 1899 Sudden Death of an Old Soldier Mr. John Peters, a citizen of Monroe county, aged seventy eight years, died here last Saturday suddenly of heart failure. Mr. Peters served in the civil war with a company from this county. He was wounded and was here for the purpose of making an application for a pension. While sitting in a chair in Ordinary Means’ office talking to some of his old comrades, who had accompanied him for the purpose of proving his claim, he gasped, fell over and expired in a few moments. His remains were removed to the Zebulon House; placed in a neat coffin by Undertaker Howell and shipped to his home in Monroe county for interment.
