THE LATE WILLIAM RILEY 



Editor Review — I am enclosing clip- 

 ping from paper which will inform you 

 of the death of my dear father. At 

 the time of his death he had one hun- 

 dred and twenty-five stands, and while 



1 cannot handle so many, I shall try to 

 keep perhaps half of them. At the 

 time of father's death he was a reader 

 of your paper. Let the same continue 

 to come and at expiration I will renew. 

 Yours truly, 



J. R. Riley. 



Death Summons William Riley at His 

 Home in Breeds, 111. 



Deatli's summons came to William 

 Riley Wednesday night at 11 :30 o'clock, 

 at his home in Breeds. He had suffered 

 four days from pneumonia. 



Mr. Riley was widely known as a 

 bee-keeper. His apiary is the largest 

 in the county and perhaps the oldest. 

 He had made the care of bees his occu- 

 pation for a quarter of a century. 

 Watching and studying the busy little 

 honey-gathering insects was his favor- 

 ite recreation for a dozen years before. 

 He understood them thoroughly, man- 

 aged them with eminent success, and 

 far and near was rated an authority on 

 all pertaining to bee-keeping. 



He was also one of Fulton county's 

 pioneer coal miners and the first mine 

 inspector of the county . 



William Riley was a man who had 

 the confidence and high esteem of all 

 acquaintances. He was just. He was 

 generous. He was tolerant. He read 

 much, thought much, and his views 

 were positive ; but he never quarreled 

 with those whose judgment led them to 

 reach different conclusions. 



The last illness started from a cold, 

 occasioned by exposure to the chill and 

 damp Saturday when Mr. Riley came 

 to Canton to give his attention to some 

 busuiness matters. 



He had been previously in his accus- 

 tomed health, excepting for a slight 

 cold which had troubled him since Tues- 

 day.
