Thursday, January 4, 1900

A Bloody Fight---On Thursday evening of last week, eight young men, namely, James Ewing, Ed Hornsby, Charlie King, James Hagler, Tom Peak, K. Edgemon, Luke Peak and Walter Williams left Ten Mile Stand, Meigs County, for a Mr. Hall's near Erie, Loudon County, where a party of some kind was to be given. Immediately after leaving Ten Mile Stand, four of the number rode off and left the other four, but the first four were overtaken by the others about two and one-half miles west of Erie. When those in front were overtaken, they all halted and some of them alighted from their horses and began to discuss which way they should go. The discussion resulted in Tom Peak and Walter Williams becoming angry. Williams at once left his horse and ran around Peak's horse to Peak and a fight ensued. The fighting was done altogether with knives. Peak received four wounds, either one of which was sufficient to kill him. Williams was slightly wounded. In the meantime Luke Peak, a brother to Tom, and James Ewing ran to those engaged in the fight, apparently to stop it, but arrived too late. Ewing and Luke Peak were both slightly wounded in the arms and hands. The wounded were at once taken to the home of Mr. White Guffey, who lived near where the fight occurred. Peak died in an hour after being wounded. He was taken to the home of his mother, Mrs. T.J. Peak, near Sewee, Meigs County, on the following day. The funeral services were held at the home of Mrs. T.J. Peak at 2:00 p.m. Saturday, by Rev. J.B. McCallon. A very large number of relatives and friends were present. After the services the body was taken to the family cemetery (sic? Sharp Cem) two miles south of Ten Mile Stand, where it was interred in the presence of about five hundred people. All the young men engaged in the affair are the sons of the best families in Meigs County. The dead man was a son of the late T.J. Peak.

Located Ten Mile, TN off I -75 exit 60 W on to to New Hwy 68 about 8 miles. Rt to Hwy 58. RT on Little Egypt Rd. Just before bridge on Right.

This cemetery will eventually have each tombstone viewed, yet so many are now missing or upside down in a pile or two. Evetually there willl be a link below (Yes) to see each tombstone known. Please be patient as it has taken me 4 years to document 3 small (less than 500) cemeteries in this area.
