Death

William Price DeWitt.
William Price DeWitt, son of Price and Sarah DeWitt, was born June 30, 1847, in Scott County, Ind., and died July 14, 1918, at 3:55 p. m.
He, with his parents, came to Illinois when but a small boy, where he grew to manhood. He was united in marriage to Nancy Jane Carr April 3, 1867, and to this union were born twelve children, four of whom, together with the companion of his youth, preceeded him to the great beyond, the wife and mother dying January 29, 1900. He was united in marriage to Mary J. Black August 20, 1902.
He, together with his first wife, became Christians uniting with the United Bretheren church nearly 40 years ago. Twenty years later they united with the Christian church at Timewell, of which church he was a faithful and respected member up to the time of his death. He was sincere in his religious convictions, believing in his Saviour with the simplicity of a little child, and if he erred, which we all do, it was a matter of misjudgement, and not intentionally.. He was honest to the last penny, and as a Christian citizen he had the respect of all who knew him. He was retiring in disposition, and to have him as a friend, was to have a friend indeed.
The eight living children are: Mrs. Rosetta Bennet, of Cynthia, Ind.; Mrs. Orsie Pierson, of Timewell; W. B. DeWitt, of Clayton; A. I. DeWitt, of Galesburgh; Marvin P. DeWitt, of Kellerville; Miss Nora DeWitt, of Timewell, and Floyd Edward DeWitt of Liberty. He also leave his wife and a host of other relatives and friends, also one sister, Mrs. Tish Gunn.
The funeral was held in the Timewell Christian church July 16 at 10 a. m., Rev. Hoe of Bowen conducting the services. Interment was made in the Washington Grove cemetery.
