After several months of lingering illness William Antcliff passed away at the

from this life on August 26, 1927 at the age of 75 years, 5 months and 4 days.  
He moved here with his parents at the age of three years and has spent 
practically all of his life on the old homestead.  He was united in marriage to 
Miss Lucinda Westervelt February 11, 1877 and to this union was born eight 
children of whom six are living.  

He leaves to mourn their loss, besides his devoted wife, three daughters and 
three sons; Mrs. Fred Freeman, of Greenville; Mrs. Lew Schroader, of near
