Waverly Watchman--Dec. 28, 1967

FORMER PIKE RESIDENT DEAD OF GUN WOUNDS
 Services were held Thursday for a former Pike County man who died in a 
Springfield, Ohio, hospital Sunday of gunshot wounds inflicted Dec. 15.
 The Clark County sheriff's office said George M. Whaley, 49, of Rt. 1, 
Springfield, died of wounds suffered when his step-son James L. Brown, 20, 
reportedly shot him in the stomach with a .410 gauge shotgun during an argument 
at the Whaley residence on Cold Springs Rd.
 Brown is being held in Clark County jail at Springfield, under $5,000 bond on 
a charge of assult with a deadly weapon filed shortly after the shooting.  
Officers said additional charges are expected to be filed at an arraignment set 
for Jan 5.
 Surviving are Whaley's widow, Mrs. Lula Brown Whaley; a step-daughter, Mrs. 
Joyce Kemper of Huntington, W. Va.; a step-son Daniel Brown at home; and six 
sisters, Mrs. Louise Newton and Mrs. Cora Pettit, both of Waverly, Mrs. Ina 
Sager and Mrs. Sarah Sager, both of Amlin, Mrs. Mary Askins of Swanton and Mrs. 
Muriel Blair of Monclova.
 Services were held at 10:30 a.m. Thursday at the Jackson-Littleton Funeral 
Home in Springfield with buriel in the Omega Cemetery.

Additional Comments:
This wasn't an actual obituary, it was a news story because of the cause of 
death.  George was born on Aug. 4, 1918 in Pike County and I believe that he is 
buried in the Mound Cemetery, Piketon, Ohio.  I never heard what happened to 
the step-son that shot him.
