Jacob Worley, son of John and Mar
garet Worley, was born at Canton, ILL.,.
Jan. I, 1912, and died after a long
spell of sickness at his home in De.
lott, Iowa, Tuesday morning, Oct. 10,
1911, being at the time of his death SO
years, 9 months and days old. Mr..
Morley was married to Miss Eliza ].
Galland Feb. 10, 1871. To this union
four children were born: John B., of
Sac City; Mrs. Daisy B. Prentice, of
Boyer, and William w., of Deloit, who
were all present to give strength and
assistance to their mother. The 9th
er child, Eva, died when six years of
age. Mr.. Worley was the last one to
answer the call of the death angel of
his fathers family, composed of seven
sons and four daughters. The deceased
was member of the Latter Day
Saints church and lived quiet, con-
sistent and faithful christian life. He
responded to the call of President Lin
coin and enlisted in the union army
from Greene county, Iowa, going to
FIT. Dodge, where he was given his suit
of soldiers blue, thence to Davenport,
where he was sworn into service. His
army experience, as one of Iowa's
brave and noble sons, was thrilling
and dangerous. He was active in elev-
en- battles and many skirmishes. Those
of special mention were: Chicamauga,
Nashville, Lookout Mountain, Mission
airy Ridge, Dalton and Alton Pass. He
was a true soldier, lived a noble life,
a kind and loving husband, an affec-
tionate father. He was loved and re-
spected by all. The funeral service
was held at II a. M. Thursday, Oc-
tober 18th, at the l.. D. S. church, Ell
der G.. J. Hunt preaching the discourse.
At the close of the sermon Mr.. Wor-
ley's comrade in the army. Mr.. r. r.
Montgomery, who was in the same reg
iment, but not the same company,
spoke of the true and loyal bravery of
Mr.. Worley in battle. At one battle
the fight lasted 100 days and it must
have been heart rending to see the
dead and dying stacked up and car
ried from the scene of battle at the
close. At this battle he suffered a
sunstroke and Mr.. Montgomery ar
rived where he was the next day. 1t
is no wonder he suffered nervous disa-
bility thereafter, caused from trials,
and sickness. His family
have the sympathy of all, who also
realize that they have lost truly re-
spected citizen. His body was laid to
rest in the Deloit cemetery to await
the resurrection of the just. Two
nephews and two nieces from dis
ID ~
one niece arrived too late.
