∼OBITUARY OF WILLIAM J. MAPLE
William J. MAPLE, of Benton township near Riverside, died at his home Saturday morning, March 3rd 1900 from the effect of cancer.
Mr. MAPLE had been afflicted with this dread disease during the last six years of his life, and for many months before the end came was not free for a moment from the torturing pains, which every effort of medical skill and attention failed to alleviate; relief easing only when the Silent Messenger came to sever the immortal soul from its earthly encumbrance.
William J. MAPLE was born in Guernsey county, Ohio, April 02, 1826, and at the age of ten moved, with his parents to Peoria county, Illinois, where he resided until 1877. From Illinois he removed to Missouri, remained a few years and then located at Pratt, Kansas and finally removed to Beaver County in 1886, here he resided until his death.
In 1874 he was married To Miss Ellen M. MARLATT, and from this union were born six children, who survive him, and who were present in the death chamber. This was his second marriage, he having children from his first union living in Illinois, Missouri and Nebraska.
Mr. MAPLE was the eldest of a large family having four sisters living at Peoria, Illinois, one brother in Missouri and one in Kingman, Kansas. He was a member of the Baptist Church, and he died as he had lived, a consistent, conscientious christian.
"Uncle Billy," as he was most commonly known, came to Beaver county in comparative poverty, but by dint of hard labor and economy succeeded in building up one of the best small ranches in the county, so that his last days were blessed by every attention procurable. He was a good neighbor and a character that will be missed.
A true hearted woman is the noblest work of the Creator, and Mr. MAPLE was signally blessed in having a companion who spared no endeavor to prolong his days upon earth, and to administer every possible care to secure his comfort. The sympathy of everyone goes out to this noble woman who has struggled as long and unceasingly in her efforts to battle the Grim Reaper. No less is the sympathy withheld from the sons and daughters who died all in their power to brighten his declining days.
The remains of the deceased were interred in the Beaver Cemetery on the Sunday following his death. Though the weather was disagreeable a large concourse of people followed the remains to their last resting place. The burial services were conducted by Rev. J. J. Bagsley.
