The Marysville Tribune, June 3, 1908
The double funeral at Peoria, Monday, of Robert Finley and his son, Frank 
Finley, was the largest gathering of the kind ever held in that village. The 
service was held in the Friends church, conducted by Rev. J. B. Hagans, of 
Magnetic Springs. The church was crowded, and there was not even room in the 
church yard for all of the friends who gathered to pay their last respects to 
these prominent and esteemed citizens.
The death of Robert Finley occurred Sunday afternoon, the next day after the 
demise of his son. The father’s ailment was of long duration, and he was 
hovering between life and death when the Grim Reaper took off the son. The 
latter was afflicted with cancer.
Robert Finley was seventy-three years of age, and he was a veteran of the 
Civil war, having served in the 96th regiment O. V. I. He built the first 
house in the village of Peoria. For a number of years he conducted a store 
there, his son afterward taking up the business. The son was also postmaster 
at Peoria. Following his death last Saturday his bondsmen met and selected his 
widow to carry on the affairs of the office. A. E. Knox, postmaster at 
Raymond, has been handling the mails at Peoria until after the funeral.
Robert Finley is survived by a widow, but no children. The burial of father 
and son was made at Oakdale cemetery in Marysville, Monday afternoon.
