     Died at the residence of W. H. Pemberton, Rock Vale, Ky. Thursday, 
December 13, 1894, Jubel Meador, in the 95th year of his age.  Uncle Jubel as 
he was called, was born in Bedford County, Virginia, February 26, 1800.  When 
about 8 years old his parents moved to Ky., and settled near Hardinsburg, 
Breckinridge County.
     He was married to Miss Betsy Hanks about 1820.  To this union were born 
10 children, 5 sons and 5 daughters, 5 of which still survive him.  They are:
Mrs. Eliza Parsons
Mrs. Margaret Overton
Mrs. Rhoda Carwile
Thomas Meador
Dr. J. W. Meador
In the year 1827, he moved to Indiana, but failing in health, returned to 
Breckinridge County, where he has resided since with the exception of one year 
he lived with his son, Dr. J. W. Meador of Shrieve (Shreve), Ohio County, Ky.  
Uncle Jubel cast his first vote for president in 1824 when he voted for Andrew 
Jackson.  His wife died on December 10, 1890 after which he married again.  
His second wife was Mrs. Betsy Harder, widow of William Harder.  She died 
November 5, 1893, after which he became much dissatisfied and failed rapidly 
in health.
     He was a devoted member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and spent 
much of his time in his last days reading the Bible.
     He was laid to rest in Union Chapel Cemetery on the evening of the 14th, 
thereby a long and useful life has ended.
