Mr. Petty was married June 25, 1912, to Miss Fa© Bradford, of Bloomington, Ind., w’ho had be on teaching school in this County. They spent a short but happy married life.

Sc( arrangements were made for the fast train to stop and his wife and Dr. Kresler hastened him to Wesley hospital, w’here he again underwent a still more serious operation for obstruction of the bowels. His body was in a very weak condition and unable to undergo this operation, and after about twelve hours of suffering he passed quietly away. However, he came out from under the anesthetic and was conscious to the last, bidding his wife good-by, she alone being allowed to remain at his bedside. He had some weeks before expressed to her his willingness to die and be relieved of his suffering, which had been almost continual.

His remains were prepared for bi rial in the city and shipped back to Fair Oaks Wednesday on the 10:30 a. m. train. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Postill, at the M. E. church, after which his remains were taken to Prater cemetery and laid to rest beside his father, brothers and sisters.

E. church at Fair Oaks, having purchased property and moved there this fall. Besides his wife, mother, brothers and sisters, he leaves behind a host of other relatives and friends to mourn their loss.
