    2, 9 Nov 1893.

    Jessie Pike, one of the oldest citizens of Dublin, died on Tuesday morning about 11 o'clock, after about a week's confinement to his bed of a complication of ailments, among which the most severe was that of kidney disease, with which he has long been more or less troubled.

    Jessie Pike was born in North Carolina September 4, 1807 and came to Indiana when he was quite young. His life and history since has been eventful. In early life he had to endure much of the toll and hardship incident to the circumstances surrounding him. We have often heard him relate that many a day he was engaged as a hand in sawing with that was called a whip saw, in getting out lumber to build flat boats in the southern part of the State. About the years 1820 and 1821 he carried the mail on horseback from Richmond to Indianapolis, and his labor in this respect was an eventful period of his history. Indianapolis at time was but a mere village. He has been living in Dublin about 60 years.

    He was married in this place to Maria Schofield [sic], in 1832, since which time, in connection with that of cabinet making, he was undertaker, not only for this place, but he was frequently called quite a distance from home to bury the dead, and on several occasions he conveyed corpses as far as Ft. Wayne. He continued in this business till within a few years ago, when Jown Lawson took charge of the business. Jessie Pike was a man whom but few could fault, and he was of a kind, jovial nature, always in a good humor and felt friendly to everybody. In his domestic and social relations he was a model, kind and obliging, and his friendship was sanctioned by all. He is gone, his long career has ended, but his many friends will often call him back to mind, many years hence. His wife preceded him to the world beyond many years since which time he has been living with his daughter, Mrs. Lucy Devlin, who will feel her sad loss. He has a son also at Los Angeles, Cal., these two out of five children being left.

    He will be buried Thursday at 2 o'clock. A very brief service will be held at the house. There will be no preaching; only a prayer and some music, and no doubt an obituary will be read, after which the Odd Fellows will take charge of the remains and lay him away as he so often has done others. In the lot he long since had chosen in the South cemetery.
