George Billick, Sr., 93, Brooklyn's last civil war veteran, who died Friday at 1:35 p.m. was buried Sunday afternoon with military honors. Services were held at 3 p.m. at the Methodist church for the aged veteran with Rev. Fred E. Miller, pastor of the Methodist church, officiating. Twenty-two service men who were Spanish American War veterans and 18 World War veterans took part in the military rites. Interment was in the I.O.O.F. cemetery. George Billick was born in 1845 in Potter County, Pennsylvania, and was brought by his parents to Illinois in a covered wagon when two years old. Here at the age of nineteen he and a younger brother enlisted in the Union army. They served on guard duty to relieve older soldiers. They were in Kentucky, St. Louis and Missouri. Mr. Billick was discharged October 25, 1864. Soon after the war he came to this county to farm. On January 10, 1869 he was married by Dr. I. N. Busby, early physician and minister in this county. His wife and five children survive. The children are: Mrs. Sam McAninch, Mrs. A. M. McAninch, Mrs. L. H. Ahrens, Benjamin Billick and Geo. Billick, jr. All made their home in Brooklyn. Mrs. Billick and son, Ben, were unable to attend the funeral services Sunday, both being in rather poor health. Last January Mr. and Mrs. Billick observed their 70th wedding anniversary. Except for a few years spent in Scott county, Iowa, soon after their marriage they have lived all of that time in Brooklyn. Fifty-five of those years have been spent in the same home just east of the school house here. During his earlier years Mr. Billick was fond of gardening, particularly of raising flowers and of fishing. He was a familiar figure for many years fishing on the banks of nearby streams. Three of four years ago Mr. Billick's health failed and since that time he has been in invalid. His death occurred Friday, July 28, 1939 at 1:35 p.m. Since the death of W. L. Johnson in California last fall, Mr. Billick has been the only G.A.R. member left of the Brooklyn Post. Source: http://iagenweb.org/boards/poweshiek/obituaries/index.cgi
