Wm. Finlay Killed In Auto Accident Friday.
Friday morning word was received of the fatal accident of Wm. FINLAY, of
Lincoln, Nebraska. Mr. Finlay had just left Lincoln on his route when about
eight miles from town a truck loaded with baled hay pulled out on the highway,
causing the accident. Mr. Finlay was killed instantly. Mrs. Thomas Finlay, Mrs.
Beulah WARNER, Thomas, Jr., and Ray Finaly left for Lincoln immediately after
receiving the work. The body was brought to Carbondale Saturday night.
Mr. Finlay was one of Carbondale's most honorable young men and had scores of
friends, who were sadly grieved to hear of his death. He will be greatly missed
in this community. This paper extends sympathy to the wife and baby and to the
Finlay and Warner families.

Wm. J. FINLAY was born October 30, 1906, and died August 18, 1933, aged 26
years, 9 months and 19 days.
Bill, as he was familiarly known to his friends was born on the home farm east
of Carbondale where he lived most of his life except a few years spent in
Lyndon, where he joined the Presbyterian church in 1918. He graduated from
Carbondale high school in 1929. On June 22, 1930 he was married to Dorothy L.
WARNER on Carbondale, and to this union was born one son, William Lee last
Februrary.
Bill moved with his family to Lincoln, Nebraska, where he was employed by the
Reynolds Tobacco Company.

Finlay, Sr., four sisters, and three brothers, Mrs. Minetta BADGER, Violet and
Sarah of Carbondale; Flroence BADGER, of Kansas City; Thomas, Jr., Ray and
Gilbert of tghe home address. 
By all who knew him, Bill was known as a honest, ambitious young man with
unusual ability and character. His ability with the Lincoln firm was recognized
and this was demonstrated by the fact that he was promoted three times in the
short time he worked for them. His sole aim was always to provide well for those
dependent upon him and to lead an honest life with all those with whom he mingled.

Federated Church Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Burial was in Carbondale cemetery.
