WILLIAM "WYSIE" WYSCARVER

Although it has not been the writers privilege to enjoy more that what might be termed a casual acquaintance with the late Wm.

There is no better acquaintance to be had with a man than to possess a familiarity with what he reads, and in this case we found a lifetime-ninety-three years, spent in a quest for knowledge. Religion was the theme of this unusual and more than ordinary useful life. His curiosity was greater than that of Ingersoll, and his quest more exacting. Born in a log house in Beaver township, Noble County, Ohio in 1841, then moving to Edinburg, Ill., where he attended school and entered business. A fire left him poverty stricken. He then moved to Oakley, homesteaded here in 1885, and was one of the first merchants of the town.
