Augustus Washington Maley was born in Harrisville, Richie county,Virgina, February 16, 1832. When 4 years of age, his father's family moved to Warren county, Illinois, settling near Little York. On February 17th, 1864, he was married to Miss Mary Jane Achison of the same place. To this union were born 12 children, six boys and six girls, John A. of Tyler, Minn., Elva L. of Council Bluffs, Mrs. Amy Chamberlain of Mechanicsville, Mrs. Nina Starry of Olin, and William E.,Reed H., Sam A., Matta L., W. Ray, Tressa A., James and Halena, all of this place. In the spring of 1870 Mr. Maley and his family moved to this place and settled on the homestead where Mrs. Maley now resides.At the age of 25 he united, by profession of his faith in Christ, with the Cedar Creek (Ill.) church, under the pasturate of Rev J.C. Porter. At the organization of the church at Little York, he transferred his membership to it becoming one of its charter members. His certificate was placed in church here, the first communion after their arrival.May 29, 1875, he was ordained and installed as elder of the congregation, which position he faithfully filled, and at his death was the senior elder in age and in service. Twice he represented the presbytery of LeClaire as lay delegate to the General Assembly of our church, at its meeting in Cedar Rapids in 1888 and at Philadelphia in 1899. He was very sociable, and made friends with all he met. Was perfectly honest in his business dealings. A kind loving and affectionate husband and father. He was a man of deep religious convictions and adhered to whatever he believed to be right with unyielding firmness. While positive in character he possessed much of the milk of human kindness, and his sympathies reached out toward those who differ from him. There remain to mourn their loss, besides his beloved wife and the children mentioned before, 12 grandchildren; and three sisters and one brother as follows: Mrs. Mary Monteith, Stronghurst, Ill., Mrs. Eliza McCoy, Little York, Ill., Mrs. General T.M.

The immediate cause of his death was heart failure.The funeral was held from the U.P. Church this morning at 10 o'clock,conducted by Rev. S.M. McConnell, the pastor. The sorrowing family have the sympathy of the entire community.
