OBW January 1913 XXXII 13 2 3 William Oliver
William, son of William and Ann Oliver, born in
Shelbyville, June 8, 1867. Died at his home in Shelbyville, Jan. 9,
1913. He was married to Miss Dora Lenover Oct. 2, 1894. He is survived
by his mother, wife and son, Lee.
The deceased spent his early life as a printer, working in the various offices of Shelbyville. He was a member of the Unitarian Church.
He was a very pleasant, sociable, kind-hearted man with many popular
qualities. He was remarkably patient during a long, distressing
sickness. He left the body of flesh with bright hopes of meeting loved
ones where there is no sickness and death.
The service of sorrow was conducted by Mr. Oliver’s
pastor, Rev. J. L. Douthit, assisted by Rev. J. S. McColley, of the
“Christian” church. The Modern Woodmen, of which the deceased was
a member, had charge of the casket at the grave, President H. D. Sparks, of the Shelbyville Business College, leading in the closing service of that fraternity.
