The news of the sudden death of Samuel Veale, a former well known and respected citizen of Malta, at his home in DeKalb on Sunday, came as a shock to his many friends in this vicinity who had not known that he was ill.
Samuel Veale was born at Devonshire, England, November 13, 1838, and died at his home in DeKalb, Illinois, Sunday, March 19, 1911, at the ripe age of 72 years, 4 months and 6 days. He came to Illinois in 1863 and shortly afterwards went to farming in Milan township at which he continued until about 1880 when he moved to Malta and entered the general merchandise business. In the early '90s he sold out to the late W.L. Stephens. He continued to reside in Malta until about 1897 and then went to St. Charles where he lived for several years when he moved onto a farm he had purchased near DeSmet, South Dakota, and after remaining there for several years returned to St. Charles where he continued to reside until six or seven years ago when he removed to DeKalb.
On the fifth of November 1861, he was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Rowe and the fruits of that were the children hereafter mentioned. Mrs. Veale died in 1893.
On the 6th of November 1897 he was again married to Miss Cecelia DeLong, of St. Charles.
