An Old Settler Gone
    Wm. Greeley died at his home in Great Oak township, Sunday, at 1:30 p.m. after an illness of a few days.
    He was in town Thursday apparently as well as usual and yet in three days time he had passed from earth.
    Mr. Greeley was born in Ireland and in his early manhood emigrated to this country and lived for quite a number of years in Illinois. In 1872 or '73 he removed to this county and has resided ever since.
    The funeral ceremonies took place Monday at 10 o'clock from the Catholic church and his body was laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery, by the side of his wife who had preceded him some 14 years.
