William P Willey, for more than 30 years a professor of Law in West Virginia University, former president of the West Virginia Bar Association, and editor of the West Virginia Law Quarterly for more than a quarter of a century, died at his home in Morgantown last Tuesday after suffering from partial paralysis for several years. He was 82 years old. Prof Willey, who was a son of Waitman T Willey, first United States Senator from West Virginia, had practiced law in Morgantown and St Louis, Mo, and had been on the editorial staff of the Wheeling Register before he became a member of the State University law faculty. After a service of more than 30 years as a teacher of most of the lawyers now practicing in this State, he retired from active duty about 10 years ago. He continued his work as editor of the West Virginia Law Quarterly until four years ago, when failing health made it impossible for him to take care of the editorial duties. Many are the students of the University law school who will regret to learn of Prof Willey's death, not only in West Virginia but in many other States.
