Blakeney, one of the oldest and best known citizens of Monroe, died at his home here at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. His death was caused by a tumor in the side, from which he had been suffering some two years. He had been confined to the home since last Christmas. The funeral will be held at the home this afternoon at 4 o'clock. The deceased was sixty-eight years old last November. He is survived by his wife, who was Miss Sallie Bennett of Anson county, and by his three children, Messrs. M. F. and Bennett Blakeney and Mrs. C. D. Meacham. He was a member of the Methodist church and services will be held by Dr. Chreitzberg. Mr. Blakeney came to Monroe about thirty-eight years ago. He went through the army with a company from Chesterfield, his native county, and after the war began life as a merchant, at a point about where Peachland now is. Later he went to Mecklenburg and did business awhile, then moved to Norwood in Stanly county. From there he came to Monroe and conducted a mercantile business for several years, selling out about 1888. He was a most quiet, honest man who attended to his own affairs, and never criticized others for doing the same. Mr. Blakeney was the son of the late John Blakeney of Chesterfield, who lived to be eighty-five years old and was one of the most prominent citizens of that section. The deceased was about the fourth or fifth in direct line in this county to bear the name of "John," and the name went on back to Ireland whence the family came to this country among the first settlers. He was of the second set of his father's large number of children, and two of these remain, Mr. George Blakeney, a prominent citizen of Paris, Tex., and Mrs. Mary Blakeney, also of Texas. None of the older children are living and of the younger ones only four, Messrs. R. E., P. B. and W. S. Blakeney of Monroe, and Mrs. Sloan of Mecklenburg.
