Sudden Passing Of John Weatherly

John S. Weatherly died Of
heartfailure at his home five
miles southwest of Laclede Fri
day, June 10, 1921. He had
just returned from a horseback
trip to Laclede, during which he
bought several head of stock,
had put the horse in the barn
and started for the house when
he fell dead, only a few feet from
where his brother, Fletcher,
died a few years ago.
John Stafford Weatherly was
born in Clifford county, N. Car,
March 19, 1856, and came with
his parents to this state in 1857.
He was united in marriage to
Lydia Agnes Hetrick, August
%, 1881. To this union three
children were born, Mrs. Eva
Shaffer and J. Ray Weatherly of
Deer Lodge, Mon, and E.Clyde
of Milbank, S. OAK, all of whom
survive and were present at the
funeral. His wife preceded him
to the great beyond August II,
1920. He is also survived by
one grandson, Norton Sullivan,
and one niece, Mrs. Laura Logs
don of St. Joseph, who with a
large circle of friends mourns his
sudden demise.
The deceased lived his entire
life on the old home place, farm
ing and dealing in stock, spend
ing more than so years in this
vicinity, and was probably the
oldest pioneer of this part of the
state. He had watched this
country grow from fenceless
prairie country to its present
high state of cultivation, and
naturally had a wide acquaint-
ance throughout the state.
Funeral services were held at
the Forker church Tuesday after
noon, conducted by Rev. E. L.
Robinson of Brookfield, assisted
by Rev. E. M. Hoff of Laclede
and the remains laid away in the
