Illness Claims Rev. Wykoff At His Home
Rites Will Be Held Thursday For Retired Methodist Minister
the Rev. William Oscar Wykoff, a retired Methodist minister, died at 10:15 o'clock last night at his home, 709 Presbyterian avenue, following an illness of two months' duration. His death was attributed to infirmities of advanced age.

He served pastorates at various points in southern Indiana and continued active work in the ministry until forced to retire in 1900 because of failing health. He had since resided in Madison.
He was married in 1888 to Miss Henrietta Williams, of this city. She preceded him in death in 1907. He was married in 1924 to Mrs. Agnes Benefiel, who died on May 10th, 1945.
