WILLIAM WHITING
DECEMBER 10, 1925

William Whiting, a man about 50 years old, died suddenly Monday (Dec. 7) evening about 7 o'clock at the Mike Finnegan home north of Chatsworth in Charlotte township.
The body was brought to the Roach undertaking parlors in Chatsworth the same evening and Tuesday morning Coroner Kleck held an inquest. The jury returned verdict finding that the deceased came to his death from a cerebral hemorrhage due to a stroke of apoplexy.
The jury was composed of James Baldwin, foreman; John Boehle, Jesse Moore, William Baldwin, Joseph J. Rebholz and Edwin Schulz.
Little is known of the man. He had been employed at farm work by different people in this vicinity for the past few seasons. A short time ago he was employed husking corn for John Goggins, north of town and his peculiar actions caused his arrest. He spent the night in the village lockup and then seemed to be normal again and was released. At the Goggins home he went to bed in a room occupied by other members of the family without permission and refused to get up when asked to do so. Later he was employed husking corn for Claude Wilson but on account of the man's peculiarities he did not board there but had been staying at the Finnegan home lately. He had complained of his stomach and pains in his head and had not worked for a few days.
After the evening meal he sat down on a chair near a stove and fell from the chair to the floor and was dead when picked up.
Nothing is known as to the whereabouts of the relatives, if any, of the dead man. He had worked off and on at periods for a number of years in Chatsworth and vicinity.
The body was buried Wednesday afternoon in the Chatsworth cemetery. Rev. C.W. Lenard, pastor of the M.E. church said short services at the grave.
