Caley After Lingering Illness William C. Caley, prominent citizen of Creighton, died at the family home at 11:45 on Friday, October 29. The news of Mr. Caley's passing was of no surprise to his many friends as he had been a sufferer for the past two years from cancer and his one time rugged constitution long ago showed the effects of the ravages of the disease. For the past two months he has been bedfast. William C. Caley was born on September 10, 1854 at Lockport, N.Y. In early boyhood he moved to Illinois and later to Waterloo, Iowa, where on June 12, 1875, he was married to Alice J. Wilson. Six children came to bless this union, four of whom, with the wife survive: Capt. M.T. Caley, Creighton, Fred Caley, Ekalaka, Montana, Jess R. Caley, Creighton and Mrs. Walter Rees, Pilger, Nebr. In 1882 Mr. Caley moved to Creighton, where he was in business for several years. Later he entered the real estate business and the last ten years, he has devoted most of his time to looking after his own personal real estate holdings. Early in life, Mr. Caley pinned his faith in land and at one time was owner of considerable acres, but in the last few years had disposed of it. For the past thirty six years, he was a member of the State Board of Agriculture, being the oldest member in years of service in that body. He was also associated actively in the direction of the Knox County Agricultural Association, serving several years as president. Mr. Caley possessed a keen business foresight, that made him a wise councilor. His own successful career stand as a monument to his industry and thrift. He was a man, whose companionship was cherished and by his happy mannerism and openness of character was able to make and retain friends. The many positions of honor and trust, which he held during his lifetime illuminates his usefulness while among us. In his death one of our worthy pioneers is taken from us; one who had the foresight to become a builder in an undeveloped country, that we, of the younger generation might enjoy the fruits of their labors. The funeral services were held at the Episcopal church at 11 a.m., Sunday, October 31, conducted by Rev. Crickmire. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. Interment was in the Creighton cemetery. Pallbearers at the funeral were members of the Knights of Pythias lodge of which Mr. Caley was a member. Members of the State Board of Agriculture attending the funeral were: J.F. McArdle, president; E.R. Danielson, secretary and T.H. Wake, representing the official board. The News joins the many friends of the relatives in extending condolences to those who mourn. Extracted from: The Creighton News 4 Nov 1920 Bios contributed by Find A Grave Member #47075564
