John E. Fleming's Death

Died, Sept. 27, 1898, at 3 o'clock p.m., John Eli Fleming, in his 39th year of 
his age. On July 17th while Mr. Fleming was helping catch some hogs he 
accidentally stuck the blade of a common pocketknife in his leg just above the 
kneecap and which pained him severely. The family at once sent for the family 
physician, but neither he nor the family thought it a dangerous wound, but he 
gradually grew worse until a surgical operation was necessary. Still he got no 
better, and a second operation was performed, but to no avail. Every effort was 
made by the family and physician to save his life, but all in vain. John E. 
Fleming was a son of Eli and Maranda Tackett Fleming now living in Oklahoma, 
and was born March 19, 1860. He left here with his father's family about 21 
years ago. Going to Missouri after he had attained his majority he married a 
young lady who only lived about seven nomths. He then went to Colorado and 
lived there until about 8 years ago, when he came back to the home of his 
childhood. After he had been back here about 2 years he married on April 24, 
1893, to Miss Ida May Crouch, daughter of Jock Crouch. Of this union three 
children, two girls, Georgie May and Mabel Eli and one boy Moreland Monroe, 
were born, all surviving, the eldest about 4 years old, the youngest one year 
old. John E. Fleming was an honest, upright business man in every respect and 
commanded the esteem of all who knew him. A truer man to his friends never 
lived than John Fleming. The remains followed by a large crowd of relatives and 
friends, were laid to rest in the Owingsville Cemetery after appropriate 
ceremonies conducted by elder T.S. Tinsley at the grave. The pall bearers were 
Riley Chandler, Nathaniel Markland, Woodson Shrout, Marshall Stone, Curran 
Crouch, D.C. Shrout, T.W. Hamilton and E.S. Hamilton. The wife and children, 
parents, brothers and sister have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire 
community in their sad bereavement.
