Christopher C. Gourley, a veteran of the Civil War, passed away at 9:50 o'clock Friday evening at the home of his son, Clarence and family on South Edwards Street, Franklin, after an illness that has extended over several months.

Mr. Gourley was born in Madison, Indiana, May 31st, 1843. On the death of his parents when he was but a few years of age, he went to Brown County at the age of nine years to make his home with his grandfather. He was reared to manhood by his grandparent. When he was eighteen years of age he moved to Johnson County and had lived in this county ever since.
In 1863 he enlisted in the Union Army and served with distinction until the close of the war. After he was mustered out of the service, he returned to Johnson County and took up his residence in the Pisgah community. There he was united in marriage to Miss Susan Shumaker. They were married in December and she died in the following February.
On April 14th, 1874, he was again united in marriage, this time to Miss Mary A. True of the Pisgah community and to this union eight children were born, six of who survive. Mrs. Gourley died several years ago. The surviving children are, Clarence of Franklin; Lawrence of Kokomo; C. C. Junior of Edinburg; George of Anderson; Mrs. Minnie Deer of Mooresville and Mrs. Mattie Simpson of Indianapolis. He is also survived by two half brothers, Clarence of Madison, and Thomas of Indianapolis.
Late in life, Mr. Gourley was married a third time to Mrs. Joanna Simpson Deer. They were married on December 17, 1916, and Mrs. Gourley died on February 9th, 1923. Since that time he had been living with his son, Clarence, here in Franklin and with his son, C. C. Junior, of Edinburg.
Early in life, Mr. Gourley united with the Pisgah Christian Church and he had always retained his membership there. As long as his health permitted he was always a faithful attendant at the services of the church. He was also a member of the Wadsowth Post of the G. A. R.
