WILLEY-On Friday the 25th of February, at his home near West Olive, Mich., Joseph Willey, formerly of this city. Aged 68 years.

Mr. Willey will be remembered by all our citizens as an old and very enterprising citizen of Maquoketa. The mills now known as the Williams' Mills, were built by him, also the stone corner now occupied by Wm. Stephens. For the past eight years Mr. Willey has been totally blind and has suffered physically otherwise.
