Obituary - William Robert Studley known to his many firneds as Bill Studley, was
born to George and Sarah Studley at Cabry, Illinois on August 19, 1879 and
departed this life at the Arnold Hospital in Arnold, Nebraska on December 4th,
1951 at the age of 72 years, 3 months and 14 days.

As a child, he moved with his parents to Kansas and in 1894 moved on a farm east

Bazer at Wolbach, Nebraska. Three daughters were born to this union. In March
of 1921, he with his family moved to Oconto, Nebraska, where he continued his
work as an energetic farmer. For the past six years, Mr. Studley has been
retired, although he continued to live on the farm. He was a member of the
Masonic Lodge. He enjoyed life and made it enjoyable for those around him. He
was active in community affairs and especially liked to see the children and
young people have a good time. Their pleasures were his pleasures. He loved
his family dearly and found the home his chief joy and delight. While his
illness has slowed his pace for several years, yet he enjoyed working and did
his chores until he suffered a stroke just a day before he was taken.

three daughters, Elsie Ditmar of Oconto, Leona Armstrong of Santa Ana,
California and Velda Studley of Oconto; six brothers, Ben, Ora, George, Charles,
