M B WHITLEY

Rogers City (Rogers) Cemetery
Benton County,
Arkansas

February 15, 1847 - October 11, 1909

*Obituary
Rogers Democrat
Thursday, October 14, 1909

M.B. Whitley died Monday evening at four o'clock. Death was the result of heart failure and he had been ill only since the day previous. The body was brought to Rogers Tuesday evening by his son, Ed Whitley, who had been called to Ft. Smith, but owing to the lateness of the hour services were not held at the church. Rev. J.P. Dillon of the Christian church conducted services at the cemetery. Mr. Whitley was 63 years old and had lived in Rogers eight years, coming here from Forsythe, Taney county, Mo. He was born in Linn county, Mo. He leaves a wife and six children: Ed Whitley, who for a number of years has been employed at McSpadden's grocery store here; Mrs. Elizabeth Henry of Illinois, and four younger children, one boy and three girls, who are all at home. They live on the street south of the water tower on the East side. For a number of years Mr. Whitley has had the care of many of the lawns of our city and was held in high esteem as a careful and conscientious worker. The drought this fall had made work in his line scarce and he had been in Ft. Smith for a month or so. His untimely death is greatly regretted by our people and the family have the sympathy of everyone.
