Obituary.—William Winepark Judy, oldest son of Philip S. and Elizabeth V. Judy, was born October 24th, 1855, in Gilmer township, Adams county, Illinois. William W. Judy was married to Rovilla Corder, December 25th, 1890. Their union was blessed with one child, a son. In the spring of 1891 he was afflicted with jaundice which caused his insanity. On the 15th of May, 1891, he was taken to Jacksonville and all that love, sympathy and money could do was done for him. The deceased departed this life at Jacksonville, Illinois, January 14th, 1891, his age being 35 years, 2 months and 21 days. One of the inmates of the asylum gave him some buckeyes or horsechestnuts to play with; these he swalloed whole which caused his death in a few hours. He leaves a wife and son, father, mother, two brothers and four sisters and many friends to mourn his departure. Mr. and Mrs. Philip Judy were blest with seven children and nineteen grandchildren, and the death of their son William was the first in the family. His remains were taken to the M. E. church at Columbus. Brother Staker, pastor of the German M. E. church, officiated. He chose for his text the fourth verse of the 2d chapter of Psalms: "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me; Thy rod and staff they comfort me." The discourse was well delivered and highly appreciated. His remains were laid to rest in the Columbus cemetery. Rest be to his ashes.
