Read More	Osage News WHITLEY The saddest time of a person's life is the time when they are called upon to part with one of the family and let death claim them of its own. It seem doubly sad when one just entering the prime of life is taken away and all their hopes and plans for the future are cut off, yet God know best and all must abide by His will however hard it may seem at times. This week a young man well known and highly respected by a large circle of friends in Osage has been taken away by death. Merle Lord Whitley first saw the light of day in Osage, Iowa, April 24, 1883, and with the exception of the years which were spent at college, he has always been here, and has been on popular among young and old alike, although delicate health has sometimes made it impossible for him to enter into the sports and pleasures of his friends. Merle was the fifth child of Dr. John L. and Ada M. Whitley, his father having passed away in Osage a few years ago. He graduated from the Cedar Valley Seminary with the class of 1902 and the fall of the same year entered the Iowa college at Grinnell. He remained at Grinnell until February, 1904, then was a student of the University at Iowa City. He went to Iowa City again last fall to take a course in law, but was overcome with sickness and had to return home. Together with his mother and sister he went to Hammond, Louisiana, to spend the winter in the warmer climate and returned to Osage about three weeks ago. For a few days he was able to be with his friends, but he rapidly grew worse and was confined to his bed for about two weeks, the last week being unable to converse with those who have been his companions from youth, and he died of heart failure last Monday morning, May 15, at about four o'clock. The funeral services were held at the home on 6th street yesterday afternoon at two o'clock; the remains were interred in the Osage Cemetery. He is mourned by a mother, two brothers and one sister, besides other relatives and numerous friends.
