Death of Joseph Weddle.

Joseph F. Weddle died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Will Weddle, at twelve-thirty o’clock this afternoon. His death was caused by old age and a complication of dis­eases. Mr. Weddle was in his nine­tieth year and had been ill for the past two months.

Mr. Weddle was born Dec. 15, 1831 in Brown county. He had an extensive farm in Hensley town­ship and had been one of the most progressive of farmers of his com­munity. For many years he had made his home with his children and come to the home of Mrs. Will Weddle just before his last illness. He was a member of the Beech Grove Baptist church.

Mrs. Joseph Weddle died a num­ber of years ago. Five of their seven children are living. They are Mrs. Sarah Green, Mrs. Adda Spicer, Mrs. Will Weddle and John C. Weddle of Franklin, and Hanford Weddle of Smith’s Valley.
