Obituary of Dr. D. L. Wilhoit

30 August 1961, Martinsville (IL) Planet


Doctor D. L. Wilhoit, 93, one of Martinsville's and Clark County's most 
respected men for the past 65 years is dead.  The senior citizen of 
Martinsville passed away in his home last Friday about 12:45 p.m.

Dr. Wilhoit achieved a record of human service equalled by few men in 
history.  He served the Martinsville vicinity as a minister of medicine 
since 1896; 65 years of interrupted dedication.

A graduate of Louisville, Kentucky Medical School, and a native son of 
the Kansas, Illinois vicinity, Doctor Wilhoit lived his life, except 
for those early years of training, in and around Martinsville.

The deceased had been ailing, as do most persons of his age, and became 
very seriously ill only two days before his death. 

The body lay in state at the Greenwell Funeral Home where memorial 
services were observed Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock.  The Reverend 
James Canny presided over the rites and the body was entombed in the 
family mausoleum in Ridgelawn Cemetery.

Surviving are his daughter, Mrs. Mildred Misner of Chicago; one grand-
daughter, Mrs. Shirley Veach of Martinsville and 2 great-grandchildren.

Bearing the casket were:  Wayne Medsker, O. R. Stanfield, Robert L. 
Wilkin, Summerhill Starks, Bernell Hills, Dwight Millis, Austin Sweet, 
and John Albert Macey.

Honorary pallbearers were Don McCrory, Cyrus Padgett, Herschel Hardway, 
Henry Spangenburg and Charlie Taggart.
