Tom Meade Dies:
Was City Native

One of Rockville's oldest
and best known natives was
buried Monday following
funeral services and eulogies
that lasted more than one
and-a-half hours.
Approximately $50 persons
crowded the Jerusalem Meth
odist Church to pay final re-
spects to Tom Meads. whose
real name was Jesse Meads and
who may have been 70, or 10,
or Is.
Nobody really knew his exact
age or cared that he was called
by his nickname. What they
did know about the old Negro
man was that he had the affec-
ton and respect of hundreds Of
native Rockvillites over 35
years of age.
For Tom Meads was a fix
ture. People can remember
him as the red hot catcher on
Rockville's Negro baseball team
back in the early 1905. They
also remember him years ago
when he filled the little Civil
War Memorial triangle in front
Of Court House 50. with Christ
mas trees, holly, crowsfoot and
berries which he sold for a
living.
They remember him knock.
