Andrew Peacock

The old saying of “trouble never comes singly”, is verified in the calamities 
which have followed in quick succession to the Peacock family of this city.  
But a little over one month ago came the intelligence from Iroquois county 
that William, the oldest son of Mary Peacock, of this city, had been murdered 
by his son, and the latter was confined in jail at Watseka. A brother, L. A., 
of this city, and the mother, Mary, went to Ashkum, the scene of the murder, 
and soon Andrew, who resided at Primghar, Iowa, came on and visited the scene 
of the murder. He was not in good health when he came here, and the excitement 
was more than he could bear. Returning home after his visit to Watseka, he 
became insane and was sent to the Kankakee asylum for treatment. There but a 
little over a week and he began to fall rapidly. On the 4th of this month Alex 
visited him, and while he was gone his house was destroyed by fire, as 
reported elsewhere in this paper. On Sunday came the news that Andrew was dead.

The remains were brought here on Monday and Tuesday the funeral took place 
from the M. E. church, Rev. Bucks officiating. Deceased leaves a wife, (who 
was Mary Nobles) and one child, 6 years old. Mrs. Peacock was at her home in 
Iowa, too sick to make the journey here.
