Begley, Howard (1882 - 5 Dec 1918)

Howard Begley, one of the most progressive and promising young farmers of the town of York, Clark County, Wis., died on Thursday, Dec. 5, 1918, aged 36 years. He was born in York and lived there all his life, being the son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Begley. Ten years ago he was married to Miss Sadie Barton, daughter of Mrs. Anna Barton. She, with her two children, Selma and Russell, are left to mourn his too early death.

Mr. Begley was an honest upright citizen, an industrious and thrifty farmer, a kind son and loving husband and father. His death is a great loss to his family and to the entire community.

Besides his wife and children he leaves his parents, two brothers, Edward and George, and one sister, Grace Begley. A brother, John, died last July.

The funeral was held Saturday at the York Center Church.
