Euphronius Kirtley was the son of Asa Thomas Kirtley and Mary B. Rogers.
"Euphronius Kirtley died at his home on North Walnut Street at 2:30 o'clock Wednesday morning from the effects of a stroke of paralysis which overtook this prominent pioneer last May. Mr. Kirtley had been failing gradually since that time and his death was not unexpected. His case differed from the usual form of paralysis in that one stroke was not followed by another, but by a gradual failing on the part of the patient.
Euphronius Kirtley was one of the prominent and highly respected pioneers of Livingston County. He had been engaged in farming and stock raising during the greater part of his life. He moved with his family to Chillicothe in February 1902 from Mooresville township and had resided in this city since that date.
Mr. Kirtley was a charter member of the board of directors which was elected at the organization of the First National Bank, and has remained a member of the board since that time. He was one of the managing directors most frequently consulted by the officers of the bank. His judgment as to the value of farm lands and general property valuations was considered a strong asset of the financial institution with which he was connected.
Manlius Kirtley, who lives in Butte, Montana, a brother, is the only surviving immediate relative of Mr. Kirtley. A half-sister, Mrs. Eudora Bates, lives in Kansas City and a half-brother, Arthur Kirtley, resides on a farm near Lexington, Missouri. None of these relatives will be able to attend the funeral. The surviving children of Mr. Kirtley were present during his last hours. They are Mrs. O.W. Matthew of Joplin, Mrs. Cecil M. Baskett of Mexico, Miss Birdie Kirtley of Joplin, and Asa T. Kirtley of this city.
The funeral will be held Thursday at 2:30 o'clock at the Mooresville Methodist Church, Elder S.J. White, assisted by Rev. F.P. Davidson, will deliver the funeral ceremony. A prayer service will be held at the Kirtley home in this city prior to leaving for Mooresville at 10 o'clock Thursday and will be conducted by Elder S.J. White. The burial will be beside the deceased memebers of his family in Mooresville.
Eurphonius Kirtley was born November 26, 1835, in Decatur, Indiana but was reared in this county, receiving a good common school education supplemented by ten months' attendance at Edinburg College. In 1865, he left home and traveled throughout the west for a year, then returned and purchased a large farm east of Mooresville. January 29, 1863, he was married to Miss Martha E. Stuckey, daughter of John Stuckey, an old and esteemed citizen of this county. Mrs. Kirtley died in March 1875, leaving four children, Asa T., Mary B., Bertie and Mattie. August 29, 1877, Mr. Kirtley was again married, to Mrs. Dora Jourdan. Mr. Kirtley's farm now embraces 280 acres of land and upon it he had at one time a herd of thoroughbred shorthorn cattle, an industry to which he gave considerable attention before retiring from the farm."
