June 27, 1862, at the battle Of
Gaines Mill in Virginia. One shot
entered just above the wrist and
the other just above the elbow.
Mr.. Wiley had four brothers and
sister 10 move to Alabama before
the Civil War, and he had never
seen or heard anything more Of

Westminster m'ourns ahe death Of
MIR. Wiley. 1t is sad to "ealize that
we shall never see his face again in
this life and feel the clasp Of his
gentle hand and listen no more to
his voice as to the experiences
through the sixties in camp and on
the batulefields. He was one Of ma
ture's noblemen, kind, humble and
true. 1t was always good to have
been in his presence, for he was
dispenser of sunshine and comfort.
Mr.. WHEY had been a member of
the Baptist church for many years.
For twenty years he was a member
of the board of deacons of South
Union Baptist church. At the timc
of HIS death he was a member Of
the Baptist church in Westminster.
