WHITLEY-
A feeling of sorrow prevailed among Andrew inhabitants Saturday owing to the 
arrival of the remains of the late Miss Kate Whitley, who died at the home of 
her sister, Mrs. Theo Joy, in Morgan Hill, california, Thursday, March 25th at 
4 p.m.. Clara Catherine Whitley was born December 19, 1883, in Oppach 
province, Saxony Germany, and was baptized January 1, 1884, in the Church of 
Oppach. She immigrated from Germany with her parents in 1894. She was 
confirmed at the Lutheran church in Andrew on Palm Sunday, 1897. After her 
confirmation she made her home with Rev. and Mrs. Gillespie and in the year 
1904, accompanied them to Fowler, California and continued to make her home 
with them until May, 1906, when she came to Andrew, Iowa to visit her people 
and friends, returning to Fowler and resuming her place in the Gillespie home 
until the following October. There she remained until October 1906 when she 
went to Morgan Hill, California., where she found employment as assistant 
postmistress and was near her sister Dora who had married to Theo. Joy of that 
place and where she continued to reside until her death. Miss Whitley was the 
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Theo. Whitley of this city. Her genial sunny nature 
won her firm friends wherever she was known. She leaves in deepest bereavement 
her father, mother, four brothers, Karl of California, Walter, Johnie and 
Artie, at home, and three sisters, Dora of California, Martha of Maquoketa and 
Louise at home. The last sad rites were at the home at 10 a.m., Rev. Hast of
