Herald Thursday Feb. 4, 1897
John Q. Blackwood who resided with his wife at Riverside, died quite unexpectedly between six and seven o'clock Wednesday evening from exhaustion. He has been ailing for some time from bowel trouble, which culminated in complete obstruction and finally ended the career of the sufferer.
Mr. Blackwood was twice married and leaves several children by his first wife among whom is Mrs. Samuel Park of this city; the other children do not reside here. His second wife also survives him. He has lived in Decatur for 14 years and has mostly been engaged in buying cattle. He served in the war for three years in Company B, 117th Illinois Infantry and had a good record as a soldier.
He was not a member of the G.A.R. but at the request of the widow the Dunham post will conduct the remains to their last resting place, when the G.A.R. burial service will be performed.
