Breaks - John B. 1895
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Friday, 22 March 1895
A message received last Friday from Punta Gouda, Florida, announced the death there Thursday of John R. Breaks Jr., who passed away shortly after the arrival of his father. The deceased was a son of John R. Breaks Sr., of this county, and lived here all his life, being born in 1855. He was married in 1882 to Miss Hattie Goodspeed and was engaged in the drug business until failing health compelled him to retire. He suffered for several years with rheumatism and a complication of diseases which finally resulted in his death. The end had long been expected but it finally came in the nature of a shock to his family and friends. He was a man of many excellent traits and will be mourned by those who knew him intimately. -s
