Death of J. D. Meeks.
A peculiarly sad death was that of J. D. Meeks who passed away this morning about 2 o'clock. Mr. Meeks, or Levy, as he was familiarly called, came here about two years ago and worked for several horsemen about the city, being something of an expert in horse management. Last fall he went to Enterprise where he remained, engaged in the same business, until about two weeks ago when he came to Abilene, stopping at the Burns House, to to be treated for a chronic trouble. In spite of doctors' care he sank steadily until this morning when his suffering was over. He leaves a wife to mourn alone, far from home and friends, the loss of her protector.
The funeral was held from the Burns House this afternoon at 4 o'clock, Rev. H. C. Humphrey, officiating. The interment was in the Abilene cemetery. (Abilene Weekly Reflector, May 31, 1888)
