Mr. WILEY was born in Harford county, Md. almost 68 years ago, but had spent the greater part of his life in the neighborhood where he died, and where he was well and most favorably known. He early adopted the occupation of a farmer which he followed until some two or three years ago, when he retired from active life. Mr. WILEY was a warm hearted, generous man and a public spirited citizen. In politics, he was a lifelong, thorough going Democrat uncompromising and indefatigable. He was several times a candidate for county commissioner, before the Democratic county convention, and no doubt would have made a most faithful and efficient officer, but was never so fortunate as to secure the nomination. Mr. WILEY was a member of Centre Presbyterian Church, and was buried in the cemetery attached thereto on Monday last. A wife, two sons and two daughters survive him. - York Gazette This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/pafiles/ File size: 1.7 Kb
