OBITUARY Iron River Reporter Dec 4 1928 “Last Rites For Ex-Service Man: Burial Services Today For Gilbert Farley, Life-Long Resident”
Gilbert Farley, aged 40 and life-long resident of Stambaugh, died at the home of his niece Mrs. Carl Johnson at 3 o’clock Sunday afternoon after an illness of three months duration. He came to spend his last days at the home of his niece six weeks ago, suffering from leakage of the heart.
Mr. Farley was born in Stambaugh on February 21, 1888 and had lived here ever since with the exception of the years he served in the United States army at Macon, Ga. His father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. John Farley, were one of the first settlers in this district, coming to Stambaugh in 1882 when the locality was still a wilderness. Mr. Farley died 18 years ago and Mrs. Farley passed away three years after the death of her husband. The family came here in the year when the first railroad was brought into the district.
The deceased was a bachelor and resided alone at his farm homestead about one and a half miles east of Stambaugh. His only surviving relatives are a sister Mrs. Margaret White, and his niece Mrs. Carl Johnson, both of Stambaugh.
Funeral services will be held this afternoon at the Carl Johnson residence, Stambaugh, with the Rev. J.E. Rankin officiating. Interment will be made in the Stambaugh cemetery.
