William Albert Polley, eldest son of Edwin and Diantha Polley, was born Sept. 14, 1882, near Maloy, Iowa, where he grew to manhood. He died at his home in Delphos, Iowa, Saturday, June 11, 1921, after an illness of but two days, being 38 years, 8 months and 27 days of age.
He was converted and joined the Baptist church at Maloy at the early age of 15 years, retaining his membership with the same until the time of his death.
On Feb. 7, 1906 he was united in marriage to Lizzie M. Mapel of Mt. Ayr and to this union five children were born—Cleo G., Orville K., J. Edwin, Cecil E. and Martin L.
The wife and five children, his aged father and mother, four sisters—Mrs. Cora A. Turner of McClave, Colorado; Mrs. Leona E. Thompson, Mrs. Minnie E. Poor and Mrs. Lula E. Skinner of Blockton—and one brother Guy E. Polley of Mount Ayr—survive him. These together with a host of friends, mourn his early departure.
He was a man of kindly disposition, a loving husband and father and one who will be greatly missed in the community.
Funeral services were held Tuesday morning, June 14, at 10 o’clock from the First Baptist church at Delphos, conducted by Rev. E. F. Thompson and the body was laid to rest in Rose Hill cemetery at Mount Ayr.
