PYEATT, John C. — We are truly sorry to learn of the death of Mr. John C. Pyeatt which sad event occurred at his residence, at 10 o'clock Monday, at Prairie Grove. His mortal remains were laid to their final rest in the burying ground at that place, at 7 p.m. of the same day, the funeral services being conducted by Revs. Earle and Hopkins. Mr. Pyeatte was born in Washington County and never knew any other place as home. He was universally known and loved throughout that section and his acquaintances and friendships extended throughout Northwest Arkansas. He was a generous, liberal, public spirited Christian gentleman and a most useful, enterprising citizen. The death of such a man would be a loss to any community. He was devoted to his home and family and upon them, more than all the world besides, does his taking off fall with the darkest gloom. The Democrat feels the deepest sympathy for his widow and interesting family of children.
