Obituary: Dr. George BLEY died at Bunker Hill. Dr. George BLEY of Beardstown,
brother of Dr. D. L. BLEY and Mrs. M. B. DRIPPS of our city, died suddenly Tuesday
at 12:20 o'clock p.m. at the home of Dr. Robert BLEY at Bunker Hill. Death was due
to heart spasm and the doctor sustained the attack shortly after having partaken of a
hearty dinner. His age at the time was 70 years. Dr. George BLEY is well known in
our city having been born in Staunton and spent his youth here. For the past 20 years
he practiced medicine at Beardstown, where he conducted a private sanitarium. In
November of the past year he sustained an attack of heart trouble and since that time
has been sojourning in Staunton and Bunker Hill in an effort to regain his health. He
had planned to visit his brother and sister in our city Tuesday and was making
arrangements to come over here when death overtook him. Funeral arrangements
have not been made as this goes to press but burial will be at Beardstown. He is
survived by one son, Dr. Walter BLEY, two brothers, Dr. D. L. BLEY of Staunton
and Dr. Robert BLEY of Bunker Hill; two sisters, Mrs. M. B. DRIPPS of Staunton
and Mrs. Nellie WURTZ of Joliet, besides other more distant relatives. His wife
preceded him in death a number of years ago.
