George Edward Woolington died at 7:30 yesterday morning at his home, 459 East Bradford street, as a result of injuries which he received on Dec. 1 by falling from a scaffolding while working on a building on South Webster street. Mr. Woolington's skull was fractured and his condition was regarded as being critical from the hour of his injury. He was rational only at times and failed to be able to recognize any one since Thursday noon. His suffering was severe and pain most excrutiating up to the very moment of his death.
The deceased was the son of Joseph Woolington and was born near Circleville, Ohio March 14, 1845. When only sixteen years old he went into the army of the Union and has been a member of the G.A.R. being held in the highest esteem by his comrades. He went in 1866 from Ohio to Monticello, Ill. and lived here up to about ten years ago, when he moved with his family to this city. In his early years he had followed the trade of a carpenter but had been in the monument business in Monticello and opened a marble yard here on South Park street which he sold out two years alter on account of ill health, his physician advising him to make the change. From that time on he followed his old vocation that of a carpenter. He ad many friends among his craftsmen.
On Nov. 29, 1867, he wedded Miss Alice Albert of Monticello.Eight children were a result of this union, but only two of them are now living. They are: Miss Della Woolington, who lives at home, and Eva, wife of Arthur R. Reynolds, of this city.
The remains will be taken on the early train to Monticello tomorrow morning for interment. There will be a brief service held at the house on Bradford street, but the principle obsequies will be held at Monticello.
