WILLIAM C. WISEGARVER

William C. Wisegarver was born in Bedford township December 11, 1815, and died, 
very suddenly, at his home in Cessna July 15, 1899, aged eighty-three
years, seven months and one day.  When a young man, he was united in marriage
to Miss Smith, who died about a year ago.  He is survived by the following
children: Mrs. George Koontz, Mrs. Millwood Morehead and Mrs. Henrietta 
Earnest, of Bedford township. One sister, Mrs. Hershberger, of Johnstown, also 
survives him. Decedent was familiarly called "Squire" Wisegarver and held the 
position of justice of the peace for a number of years.  He was a man of more 
than ordinary ability.  The funeral services were held at St. Paul's Reformed
church on Sunday afternoon and were conducted by Rev. S. C. Stover, assisted
by Rev. E. E. Parson.  It was the most largely attended funeral held in that 
community for many years.
