The Mrs. Mead mentioned in our Burlington correspondence last week as having had
her arm broken in a runaway accident, is Mrs. Watson B. Mead of this city.
She is reported as doing as well as could be expected under the circumstances.
[The Marshall Statesman, Friday, December 2, 1892, p.9, c.5]
Major Hendershott and son were greeted with a crowded house last evening, every seat in the opera house being occupied. They played a great many of the old war pieces which greatly pleased the old comrads and the audience generally. The major has the snare drum down pat, and makes it talk right out. The work of the local talent was very fine and added much to the program. Masters Robert Peck, Roscoe Clayborn and Herman S--- each recited very nicely. Miss Kennedy and James Hughes each favored the audience with selections. Lawrence Wright gave some of his pleasing character songs. Watson B. Mead sang The Old Coffee Kettle. The M. E. church choir rendered two pieces and Messrs. Wright and Dickey, the burnt cork artists, helped to make the evening a pleasant one. The G.A.R. post is to be congratulated on the success of the entertainment. [The Daily Chronicle, Thursday, March 21, 1895, p.3, c.2] Watson B. Mead is very low. [The Marshall Statesman, Friday, April 3, 1896, p.5, c.3] Watson B. Mead, who has been sick for several months past, died about 8 o'clock this morning. Notice of the funeral will be given later. [The Daily Chronicle, Monday, June 1, 1896, p.3, c.2] There will be a special meeting of St. Albans lodge, F. and A. M., Tuesday evening at 7:30 o'clock to make arrangements to attend the funeral of Watson B. Mead. [The Daily Chronicle, Monday, June 1, 1896, p.3, c.2] There will be a meeting of C. Colegrove Post Tuesday at 7:30 o'clock at G.A.R. hall to make arrangements to attend the funeral of their late comrade, Watson B. Mead. [The Daily Chronicle, Monday, June 1, 1896, p.3, c.2] Watson B. Mead, an old and well known resident of this city, died at his home, 10 Prospect street, Monday, at 8:30 a. m., aged nearly 72 years. Mr. Mead was born in Unidilla, N. Y., and came to Marshall in 1845, since which time he has resided here continuously. He was a prominent member of C. Colegrove Post G.A.R. and also of St. Albans lodge, F. and A. M., under the auspices of which order the funeral occurred from the late residence Wednesday afternoon. The G.A.R. Post acted as escort and the services were conducted by the Rev. Sidney Beckwith. There was a very large attendance. Mr. Mead was of a jolly temperament and possessed a wide friendship. He leaves a window and three sons, William Mead of Chicago and Charles and George Mead of this city. [The Marshall Statesman, Friday, June 5, 1896, p.5, c.5] |
