This clipping came from the collection of Jessie F Whitely Hodges. Her father is the F.A. Whitely mentioned in this article.
I do not know what city is referenced in this obituary. I also do not know the name of the newspaper which published this obituary. I believe the town referenced is La Plata, Missouri.
