John Thacker, the first licensed COM

Columbia, and the last survivor of the
old VigiIant Volunteer Fire Company, of
Georgetown, died last night at his resi-
6ence, 15S y Street southeast. He was
seventy-one years of age. Mr. Thacker
was a native OF Georgetown, and in many
ways a remarkable character. Up to the
past summer he was fSniIiar figure on
the streets of Washington. He always
carried an antiqu8ted and indestructibIe
umbrella which IS reported to have been
the property of his grandfather, and
which had run the gamut of all the hues
until it had finally become a faded snuff
colcr.
Sold Fish to Presidents
Mr.. Thacker had been engaged in the
produce business in the District since his
fifteenth year It was his boast that he
had sold fish to more Presidents of the
United States and other prominent states
men than any other mn. tEe always made
it point to present the Pres jdent with a
watermelon at Christmas time.

on one OF his fathers mules and riding 10
hunt the cows in what is now the most
fashionable and populous section of the
city.
he was q strong Southern sympathizer
during the civil war, and used to boast
that he had never been reconstructed -
One OF his most priced possessions was
a bulky scrapbooh. 1t was opened this
morning and found to contain several
thousand dollars in Confederate cur
rency, some flowers which Mr. Thacker
had plucked from Stonewau Jackson's
grave, and number Of newspapers pub
lished in the last century. These latter
had been the property of his father and
among them were papers published in
