Arthur A. Huey

died July 12, 1915

Westfield Review

Arthur A. Huey was born in Westfield, Ill., April 10, 1892.  He is the son of Martin and Anna Huey, and his whole life was spent in Westfield except one year, when he resided in Oklahoma, and a few months when he lived in Casey.  he was united in marriage September 2, 1914, to Miss Lydia Cochonour of Casey.  He was stricken with a serious illness at his home in Casey several months ago.  he was brought to Westfield[?] and spent several weeks at the home of his parents.  Shortly after the return to his life home in Casey he was seen to be failing and on the last Monday evening, July 12, while surrounded by his immediate relatives, he stepped lightly from time to eternity.

Arthur is survived by his wife, his parents, and two sisters, Mrs. Fern Heckard of Drumright, Okla., and Miss Rita Huey of Westfield, and by his half brother, Carroll Messinger, of Westfield, and two half sisters, Mrs. Elva Phillips of Casey and Mrs. Nora Doty of Oklahoma.  Measured by years his life of 23 years, 3 months and 2 days.  but he was rich with the things that go to make life of value.  he was ambitious and always cheerful.  he was friendly and always had good will towards men.  he was a member of the Men's Bible Class of the Methodist Church, and while residing in Westfield was a very valuable worker in the class.  During the latter weeks of his life he definitely directed his heart towards Christ and expressed a purpose to unite with the church as soon as he was able to get out again.  The fulfillment of this purpose was denied him but to the invisable church composed of all who place their trust in Jesus Christ he was already united.

Card of Thanks

We desire to express our sincere thanks to all the friends and neighbors both in Westfield and Casey for their sympathy and for every kindness extended and assistance given during our late sad bereavement.

Takes Own Life

James Hurst, 30 years old living on Parker Prairie near Round Grove was found hanging lifeless in the mow of his barn Tuesday morning. No cause is known for the tragedy as his family relations were harmonious and his business affairs in good shape.

He had been working very hard and it is thought possibly that the heat may have unbalanced his mind.
