     The following obituary appeared in the newspaper The True Republican published in Sycamore, Illinois 21 November 1914:
Death of Arthur Meade
     Former Sycamore Boy, Son of Well Known Horseman, Passed Away On Monday After Long Illness At His Home In Belvidere
     Arthur Meade, who passed most of the years of his youth in Sycamore, where he was well known, died at his home, 1609 Pearl street, Belvidere, on Monday evening, after a long illness. The funeral services were held at the home on Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. H. E. Rompel officiating, and the interment was in Belvidere cemetery.
     The Belvidere Republican says:
     There survive his wife, one son, Dwight of Chicago; his father, Benjamin Meade and two brothers, Frank of Belvidere, and Edward of Genoa.
     The deceased was born in Belvidere January 24, 1847. His home for a number of years had been in Elgin, Ill., and Kalamazoo, Mich., but he returned to Belvidere about four years ago and has since resided here.
     Mr. Meade was highly esteemed in the community and was of a genial and kindly temperment. His many friends will much deplore his demise and extend their sincere sympathy to the bereaved family.
     The father, Benjamin Meade, was a pioneer of this section, living here when the old stage coaches were the means of travel through this section. He is now living at a remarkable age, having reached 95 years, and is active and comparatively well, being able to drive horses and get about the city.1

     Widely Known Resident of DeKalb County Stricken at Grange Meeting in Malta; Lived in This Vicinity Many Years
     John Stanton Valentine, 53 years old, a widely known DeKalb county resident, died suddenly at a meeting of the Malta Grange in that village at about 9;30 o'clock Monday evening. He had been in his usual good health, and was seated in a chair when he slumped back, death striking before aid coul(d) reach him.
     Mr. Valentine was born in Polo, Ill., June 8, 1884, a son of George Howard and Mrs. Harriet Shaver Valentine. He spent his boyhood in Polo and Beatrice, Neb., where the family resided for some time. They returned to Polo, he completing his education at Dixon college.

They resided near Sycamore since that time with the exception of two years spent in Lewistown, Mont., returning to this vicinity in 1918, locating near DeKalb.
     He was a member of the DeKalb (Turn to Page Three)
