J. W. Mayle Passes Away
We are this week called upon to chronicle the passing of another of Blair’s pioneer citizens – one who had many friends, was a good husband and father and a progressive citizen – John W. Mayle.
For the past year Mr. Mayle had been failing in health, but it was only within the past several weeks that he had been confined to his home. He was given the best of medical attention and care, but in spite of all that could be done he became weaker and weaker and on Friday at 12:45 p.m. his spirit fled to the one who gave it.
The funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 4:30 from the Episcopal church, Rev. A. E. Marsh officiating, the services being attended in a body by Odd Fellows, Rebekah’s and Knights of Pythias, of which orders deceased was a member.
Deceased was born at Philadelphia, Penn., February 23, 1854, and came to Nebraska thirty-five years ago. On the 2nd day of September, 1877, he was married at Herman to Miss Mattie McCloud. In 1876 he engaged in business in this city, opening a confectionary store and operating the Commercial hotel. He conducted the hotel for about four years and then turned his attention exclusively to the confectionery and notion business which he enlarged from time to time and conducted until his death.
Deceased leaves a wife and five children and three brothers to mourn his death, the children being Mrs. F. G. Hoffman, of Armour, S. D., Mrs. M. R. Lippincott, of this city, and Misses Florence and Mattie and Fred. His brothers, Fred, of Cleveland, Ohio, and Ed and George, of Memphis, Tenn., were here as well as the balance of the family to attend the funeral.
Other relatives and friends who were here from abroad were: F. G. Hoffman, of Armour, S. D., Mr. and Mrs. James Thorndike and son Vern, of Randolph, Neb., and Mrs. R. O. Whitney and Ralph Garwood, of Fremont.
