GEORGE WILLIS

  Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Wenzel and Mr. and Mrs. Delmer Wenzel on Monday attended 
the funeral of the former's uncle, George Willis, which was held in the 
Methodist Episcopal Church at Lahmansville, W.Va., the pastor, Rev. Mr. Davis, 
officiating.  Interment was made in the family burying ground on the old home 
farm following the services at the church.  Mr. Willis, who was a bachelor, was 
aged 82 years, and lived all his life at the place where he died.  He was a man 
of unassuming disposition, kind and generous, and had hosts of friends, as was 
attested by the large attendance of friends from almost every section of Grant 
County, who attended his funeral.  A brother, Richard Willis, also a bachelor 
aged 80 years, with several nieces and nephews, survives.  The surviving brother 
is an invalid, being afflicted with dropsy.
