DICKEY, David R. (d. 1872)

David R. DICKEY, of Randolph, Tennessee, made a bet that he could eat four bottles of brandy peaches and drink all the liquor, together with two full tumblers of raw whisky.  He drank the whiskey and finished all the peaches, dropping dead while holding the last peach to his mouth.
