The report of the gun alarmed his son and his two youngest daughters in the house, who immediately ran to the relief of their devoted, affectionate and agonizing father, but their joint efforts proved unavailing in attempting to arrest the rapid effusion of the life blood of their beloved and prostrated parent. He expired in less than ten minutes, never uttering but these words, �I believe my leg is broken�, the palpliteal artery being completely lacerated.

From: Clarksville Leaf Chronicle

July 18,1928--Struck in the head by some three or four shots which were fired by Douglas Potter, 28, at a stray dog under the grocery store of Allen Potter, located on the Palmyra road less than a quarter of a mile from the new Cumberland River Bridge, John Ewing Meek, nine-year-old son of Ruthie Meek, District 13 resident, was killed about 9:30 this morning. He was struck on the left side of his head and lived only about five minutes after the accident. The entire community is shocked and grieved at the tragedy.
Douglas Potter, who had come to the store early this morning to purchase groceries, heard his father complaining of a number of stray dogs which killed chickens, hiding under his store. The younger Potter volunteered to shoot them and went to his father�s house where he obtained a shotgun. Three youths, Louis J. Potter, 9, brother of Douglas Potter, Louis Whitlow, 10, and the little Meek boy, who would have been 9 in August, readily volunteered to use sticks in prodding the dogs from under the building.
Two or three of the animals were run from under the building by the boys, but one of them crawled back under the store where he could not be reached. Allen Potter directed the boys to the porch before any shooting was done. The son then sought to get a glimpse at the hiding dog and in the meantime the victim slipped from the porch and was next seen by Allen Potter on the opposite side of his store. He asked the youth why he was not on the porch and received the reply he was going to the lot.
Unseen by any one, the child crept under the house to get the dog out. Douglas Potter about this time saw the animal and opened fire upon him. The dog was instantly killed and some stray shot struck the little boy. Potter saw the child stiffen out, his head striking the ground just out from under the store. Grief-stricken, he rushed up and lifted the little form from the ground. Someone took the boy from him and Allen Potter supported his son to keep him from falling from sheer weakness. The child was dead in five minutes.
The father of the child was in Clarksville at the time of the tragedy, delivering some meat for Douglas Potter.
The little boy is survived by his father and one brother, Leo Meek, and four sisters, Miss Aileen Meek, Mrs. Charlie Oliver, Addie Meek, and a half sister Margaret Hester.
He is buried in Presbyterian Cemetery near the Otterbein Church.(Macedonia Cemetery)

Those who have been to Springfield know that the depot is on one side of the track and the passenger platform on the other. As usual where such is the case, people who purchase their tickets at the ticket office are late in crossing the track, and often a large number will rush across to the platform just as the train approaches. Mr. Dudley was at the depot on last Thursday morning and ran across in front of the train. He thought he had ample time to make the crossing, but the cowcatcher struck him and knocked him about fifteen feet on the platform. He was picked up and taken to the home of Mr. Rawls, near by, and Dr. Menees was called in. At the time he was not thought to be badly hurt, as there were but few bruises to be seen on his body when the examination was made. On Saturday morning, however, he began to grow worse, and his death followed at 4 o�clock Sunday morning. The physician decided that he had been internally injured. His family, who were in Adairville, at their home, were summoned to his bedside when the accident happened and were with him at the time of his death. William A. Dudley was born and reared in this county near St. Bethlehem. He was a son of Harry Dudley and was about fifty years of age. He married Miss Nannie Northington , of this city, daughter of the late Samuel Northington and sister to M.C. and N.D. Northington. To this union one child has been born, Miss Evelyn, just blooming into womanhood. The deceased resided in Clarksville many years, being engaged in the livery business. A few years ago, he removed with his family to Adairville where he has been in the livery and stock business, and he has been doing well there. He has numerous friends in Clarksville who will be pained to learn of his untimely death and who will deeply sympathize with the stricken wife and daughter.
The remains reached here last night from Springfield and were carried to the residence of M.C. Northington on Madison Street, where the funeral services were held this afternoon at 2:30 o�clock by Rev. A.U. Boone, of the Baptist church. The interment took place in Greenwood.
