A telegram received by his son-in-law, Captain E. R. McKee, conveyed the information that Judge Meek died last night at half past nine o'clock. His illness dates from a stroke of paralysis from which he suffered about a year ago. He partially recovered from this, but was never able to attend to any business or to go about actively since his attack. The direct cause of his death however, was paralysis of the brain, his whole condition, as stated in The Gazette, being like that of the late Mr. William Cook. Judge William Meek was seventy-six years old. He married Miss DeBruin of Winchester, Adams County, Ohio, a sister of Captain Ed. DeBruin, ex-Auditor of Highland County. Judge Meek's title was derived from the fact that he was, for several terms, Probate Judge of Highland County. He had been for many years associated in the practice of law with Judge Thompson in Hillsboro, Ohio. Judge Meek leaves a wife and four children, two sons and two daughters, as follows: Mr. Charles Meek who resides in the northern part of the state, Anna S., the wife of Captain E. R. McKee of this city; Edward Meek of Chicago and Miss Judith Hester Meek of Hillsboro. The children are now at their old home, having been summoned there when their father's condition became critical. Judge Meek was widely known in Masonic circles throughout the state, having been for years a prominent member of that order, and having been one of the state officers in it. The funeral services will be held in Hillsboro at one o'clock Monday afternoon. Contributor: Marianna Kerns Morgan (47616369)
