Obituary
William P. Truesdale passed away Friday night, after an illness of a number of weeks. He was one of the foremost businessmen of Peoria.
He was 58 years of age, and born in Ohio. He came here with his parents when he was but 9 years of age. For many years, he was a member of the Truesdale Manufacturing Company, operators of the largest planing mill in Central Illinois, but was forced to retire from the business because of declining health, twelve years ago. Since that time, he had been a lumber merchant.
A widow and four children survive him.
