CHESLEY, John William

John William CHESLEY was born at Georgetown, Ill., on May 22, 1919, being 14 
years, 2 months and 11 days old when he met his unfortunate death August 3, 1933. 
Billy, as he was called by all who knew him, was a likable lad, with a sunny disposition 
that endeared him to all and made him a favorite among playmates. He was a great 
lover of flowers and of animals, always doing some little kind act for some poor dumb 
beast.

Those who mourn the lad's death are his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. CHESLEY; one 
sister, Dorothy; three brothers, James, Thomas, jr., and Paul, and his grandparents, 
Mr. and Mrs. Sam HOLLINGSWORTH; and a host of friends that will miss Billy and 
sympathize sincerely with the near relatives in their sorrow at Evergreen cemetery at 
Red Cliff.[11 Aug. 1933, Eagle Valley Enterprise, p1]
