William Johnson Pennebaker died Monday at the home of his uncle, H. W. Salmon, of consumption, aged 31 years.
Born in Versailles September 6, 1868 and came to Clinton in 1877 after the death of his mother, to make his home with his uncle.
When 17, he went to Kemper Military school at Boonville, but fearing his fatal disease, as his parents and eight brothers and sisters had all died of consumption, firends thought it advisable for him to lead an outdoor life, so he went with a railroad survey party to the Indian Territory.
His inclinations were to follow the banking business and when his health permitted, was on duty in his uncles, G. Y. and H. W. Salmon's bank.
In December of 1895, he married Miss Bessie Gahan of Grand Island, Neb., who, with little daughter, survive him.
Three years ago when the little one was six weeks old, he rented the Redding home on South Main St. and furnished it, hoping his health would permit him attending the duties in the bank, but in one month had to give it up, his wife residing with her parents and he engaged in mining in New Mexico and Colorado.
Last summer, he went to the sanitarium at Las Vegas, N.V. and in October, returned to his uncle's home to be nursed by his aunt, Mrs. A. M. Tutt, where he was certainly blessed in the last years of his life by the ministering hands of one of the noblest, unselfish women of the world.
He was a member of the Episcopal Church.
Burial at Englewood.
