Mr. T. H. Duley suddenly departed this life last Monday morning at two o'clock. He got up and gave one of the children a drink of water, then returned to his bed. Immediately upon his lying down his wife heard him breathe with difficulty. She slightly shook him, to which he gave no answer, and she immediately arose, lighted the lamp when she found him unconscious. She hastily went to the home of his sons near by, but before any of the families arrived he had died. Heart failure is supposed to be the cause of his sudden demise.

Mr. Duley was 67 years old the first of last January, and had been a resident of this city and vicinity for about 20 years. He was a good, Christian gentleman, and was a member of the M. E. church. He was a soldier in the civil war and drew a pension of $12 per month, which he had arranged to go to his wife after his death.

By his first wife Mr. Duley left four sons and two daughters. G. W., C. W. and J. E. are living in this city and M. Duly residing at Sanborn, Minnesota, who was present at the funeral; one daughter, Mrs. George Rhodes, lives six miles south of town and Mrs. Nora Hughes at Moberly, Mo., who, owing to a sick child, could not attend the funeral. By his present wife three daughters and one son survive him.

The funeral took place at the M. E. church yesterday afternoon.

To the bereaved families we extend sympathy and can assure them that a good man has gone to a better reward.—The Beloit Times, June 16, 1898, Vol. III, #44
