William McCreary,
Clarksville, Dead
CLARKESVILLE, IA - July 9 - William McCreary, lifetime resident of this place and its immediate vicinity, died this morning from pernicious anemia after an illness of more than two years. The funeral will be at the home at 2:30 p.m. Thursday, with Reverend D. N. Morgan, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, officiating.
Mr. McCreary was born March 30, 1857, on a farm two and one-half miles southwest of town. His wife, who was Nettie Doty before their marriage, died four years ago.
Surviving are two daughters, Mae and Emma, and three sisters, Mrs. Sarah Marquand and Mrs. Douglas Marquand, Longmont, Colorado, and Mrs. Ruth Wygle of Clarksville.
[Waterloo Courier, Wednesday, July 9, 1924]
(The above obituary is as appeared in the paper. The last name is spelled differently than on the grave marker, but the dates match, as well as the fact that there is a Nettie buried right next to him and her death date matches as well. So it seems the evidence points to the fact that this is the obituary for William but it just has his name spelled wrong.)
