The funeral of Hugh Peacock, who died in Chicago last week, and whose body arrived in this city Saturday afternoon, was conducted Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock from the home of his sister, Mrs. W.L. Fuller, by Rev. D.H. Tuttle, pastor of Centenary Methodist church. After a simple funeral service, the body was laid to rest in the family plot in the old cemetery.
The pall bearers were: Messrs. H.D. Ellington, J.D. Spiers, N.B. Grantham, R.O. Cotter, W.N. Holt, W.D. Hood, W.T. Adams, and W.H. Call of Selma.
The deceased was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. G.N. Peacock. He was born in Smithfield and lived here until about 18 years ago when he went to Chicago. He has lived in Chicago since that time having held a position with the Western Union Telegraph Company during that time. He was married soon after going to Chicago and is survived by his wife and one son. He also leaves three sisters and a brother as follows: Mrs. W.L. Fuller of this city; Mrs. A.S. Chesson of Wilson; Mrs. Guy Willis of Porto Rica; and Mrs. Clyde Peacock of Chicago. The family has the sympathy of the community in their bereavement.
