GRANDPA WILLSEY GONE

The death of Grandpa Willsey, the aged father of B.M. Willsey, which occurred at the home of the latter early Saturday morning, was not entirely unexpected. The old gentleman had been in feeble health for some time past, but was up and about up to a few days before his death.

He was past 83 years of age, a native of New York, and a life-long active member of the M.E. Church. He had made his home for many years with his sone, Berea M., and the funeral on Sunday was from the residence, services being conducted by Rev. Main, pastor of his own church, and attended by a large concourse of friends and family.
