ASBURY MATHENY DIES IN SEATTLE

Asbury Matheny, well known to many Indianola people, died of a heart attack in his home in Seattle Sunday night, January 8, according to a telegram received by his brother Raymond.

Mr. Matheny was a student at Simpson back in 1900 and 1903, and was an outstanding football player, playing halfback on the two strong teams of that year.

After leaving Simpson he taught school at Earlham and Jefferson, later entering the mercantile business in Kansas. About twenty-five years ago he moved to Seattle where he entered the employ of the United Cigar company, managing a string of stores in several large cities in Washington.

For the past few years he has been in retailing and jobbing electrical appliances. He was forty-eight years old and is survived by his wife and brother.---Indianola Tribune.

“Mac” Matheny lived in Winterset a number of years when his father was pastor of the Methodist church.
