IL, Thursday, Jan. 24, 1901, p1: "Hon. Scott Wike at Rest. His Remains Buried in Park Lawn Cemetery. The funeral of the late Hon. Scott Wike took place on Friday afternoon, and a large number of our citizens turned out to pay the last tribute of respect to a man who was honored by all. Pittsfield, where deceased lived many years, sent over a large delegation of prominent citizens, and consequently the services at the house and in the cemetery were largely attended. At the house Rev. W.M. Hailey, of the M.E. church, conducted the services which were brief but very impressive. There were present the members of the Pike County Bar association and all the people of the surrounding country, many of whom had known the Hon. Scott Wike since he was a boy working in his father's woolen mill. Only the Knights Templar selected to act as pallbearers went to the house, which is located some distance west of town, the other members of the commandery remaining at Masonic Temple until the funeral procession was coming toward town. They met it near the residence of Mr. Eugene Smith and led it to the cemetery. Among those who attended the funeral were the following relatives from a distance: Mr. George Wike, of Moberly, Mo.; Perry Fuller and wife, of Dixon, Ill.; Mr. Brookins and wife, of Moberly, Mo.; George Grubb and wife of Liberty, and Prof. Grubb, of Galesburg."
