Neodesha Register, Thu., Feb. 7, 1918
WM. HOUSLEY PASSES AWAY.
Another pioneer settler of this community has answered the final summons. Wm. Housley, who had resided in this locality for over forty-three years, died at the Wilson county hospital in Neodesha Thursday, January 31, 1918, at 2 o'clock a. m., aged 81 years, 3 months and 5 days.
Several weeks ago Mr. Housley suffered a stroke of paralysis and was taken to the county hospital for treatment. His condition apparently improved for a time, but the stroke finally proved fatal to this aged veteran and highly respected citizen.
Wm. Housley was born in Campbell county, Tenn., October 27, 1837. He lived in Indiana a few years before coming to Neodesha in the fall of 1873, and has resided in and near Neodesha continuously ever since. He followed blacksmithing and farming and combined the two on a farm southeast of Neodesha, near Brooks, for a number of years, when he retired, moving to town and had since lived in the property he owned at 704 Illinois street. Mr. Housley was a veteran of the Civil war and was a member in good standing of Humprey Post, G. A. R., of this city. He is survived by three sons and one daughter, as follows: George Housley of Brooks; Chas. Housley, eight miles west of town; Henry Housley and Mrs. Anna Catron of Fredonia. His wife died four years ago.
Wm. Housley was a kind, good man and enjoyed the friendship of all who knew him. He was honest and fair in his business relations and never knowingly wronged anyone. He was a good citizen and will be missed by his many friends. The bereaved ones have the deepest sympathy of all.
Funeral services were held at the Grand View church last Friday afternoon, conducted by Rev. R. C. Leonard of the Christian church and interment was made beside the grave of his wife in the Grand View cemetery.
