Peter Riley, one of the oldest residents of Kingman, died at his home in the east part of town last Sunday morning, Sept. 28, 1913, at 5:30, following an illness of many weeks duration. He was born Feb. 11, 1834 in Harrison County, O., being 79 years, 7 months and 17 days old at the time of his passing to the great beyond.
In the year of 1861 he was married to Margaret Teegarden, and to this union were born ten children, John, Josephine, Ellen, Jane, James, William, Elmer, Charley, Belle and Lonzo, the two last named having preceded their father to the better land.
The wife and children did all in their power to keep their loved one with them, but all efforts seemed in vain. He said he was anxious to go. His voice in the home is forever still, a chair is vacant, which never can be filled.
He was a veteran of the Civil war, having been a gallant soldier in Co. I, 40th Ind., receiving an honorable discharge at the close of the strife.
Funeral services were conducted from the home by Rev. J.M. McHargue at 10 o'clock on Monday, Sept 29th, burial being made in the Cooper cemetery.
