OLD RESIDENT OF URBANA PASSES AWAY AFTER EXTENDED ILLNESS-FUNERAL AT 2:30 O'CLOCK

John Worley, one of the oldest residents of the county seat, died at 1:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon, at his home, 901 East Green Street, Urbana, following an extended illness from diabetes and kidney trouble.

The decedent was born May 10, 1846, at Urbana, O., and came to Urbana, Ill., when he was five years of age. He had resided in Urbana ever since. In 1869 Mr. Worley married Anna Kerrar. She died in 1878, and he again married in 1880, Lucy Butler being his second bride. She is now confined to her bed by illness that is thought to be very critical. For twenty years the decedent was employed in the car department at the Big Four shops.

Mr. Worley engaged in the service of his country during the civil conflict of the 60's and has been an active member of the G.A.R. He was also a member of the Modern Woodmen, and his church membership was with Grace Methodist Episcopal church, on East Main Street. Besides the widow, two children survive, Joseph Worley of Peoria and Lottie Worley at home.

The funeral is to be held at 2:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon from Grace Methodist Episcopal church, the services being conducted by Rev. Singleton and Rev. W.A. Browder. Interment will be at Mount Hope cemetery
