Morris Daily Herald, 1893
"Morris Daily Herald"
Wed., Feb 1, 1893, p. 3, c. 2

At 9:30 last night the spirit of George Fey took its flight to its Maker. For 
many months deceased, through old age, had been confined to his house, 
latterly dropsy set in and for the past twelve weeks he was confined to his 
bed. He was conscious up to a short time before the final separation, and when 
the end came he passed peacefully away.

Deceased was born in Bavaria, Germany, and at the time of his death he was in 
his 85th year. He had been a resident of Illinois many years, having been 
engaged in business in Bellville, St. Clair county, a number of years before 
coming to Morris. He came here early in the 50's and built the building now 
occupied by Thompson & Johnson, where he conducted a general store for a 
number of years, retiring from business just before the breaking out of the 
war, since which time he lived a life of ease, a vacation he well and honestly 
earned. His aged wife, to whom he was greatly attached, is left to mourn his 
death. They had no children, but a number of years ago they adopted he who is 
now George Fey, Jr., who has been a favorite companion to the old folks in 
their declining years.

The funeral will take place from the Catholic church tomorrow at 10 o'clock 
and interment will take place in Mt. Carmel cemetery. Of him can truly be 
said: He was an honest man and a good citizen.
