Wesley Metz was born in St. Johns, Ohio, and spent most of his life there. He moved to Texas about 1911 and lived in Garrison for 8 months before moving to Center. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, a Mason, and a member of the Maccabees.
Mr. Metz had been in ill health for a number of years. In the summer of 1914 he went to St. Petersburg, Florida, to visit his brother and hoped the change would benefit his health. He continued to decline, however, and died there.
His body was returned to Center for burial. Services were to be conducted at the Metz home on San Augustine Street by Rev. M. L. Lindsey, with burial in Fairview Cemetery. Survivors were his wife; 2 sons: O. F. and Mike, of Center; and 3 daughters: Mrs. Darden of Frederick, OK, Mrs. Jim Wilcox, of Topeka, KS, and Mrs. Carl McBrayer of Granbury, TX.
