LEE, John - John Lee, a pioneer citizen of Benton county, died at his home on Pea Ridge last night at the age of 93 years. Mr. Lee moved to this county in the early 50's from Rutherford county, Tenn. He lived at Pea Ridge before the battle and took part in that bloody fight over forty-eight years ago where fell the brave of both the blue and gray. He fought under the Confederate flag, believing he was right. He was a Mason of good standing and a consecrated Christian gentleman, having united with the Southern Methodist church early in life. He was held in high esteem by all who knew him and counted his friends by the hundreds. He leaves a wife and several grown-up children behind. Mr. Lee was among the first settlers in Pea Ridge and since the Civil War has lived a quiet, peaceful life, surrounded by home folks, relatives and friends. He was related to the Buttrys, the Putmans, the Pucketts and many other prominent families residing in Benton county. His remains were laid to rest Tuesday in the lonely well-kept little graveyard near his home in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends.
