GEORGE RILEY FLEEMAN

 

   George Riley Fleeman, son of George and Mary Fleeman was born January 25, 1870 and passed away at the home of a daughter Mrs. Lucy Fleener of near Fair Play at the age of 90 years and 10 days. He was united in marriage to Ader Clemmons in October 1890. To this union were born five children. His wife preceded him in death 16 years ago. Besides the daughter, Lucy, he is survived by another daughter, Mrs. Anna Tootle of Visalia, Calif., three sons Charley and Harry of Visalia, California and Homer of Weeping Water, Nebraska; two brothers, his twin, John, and Willis both of Dallas, Texas; five grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren. Riley had spent his entire life in Cedar County, and since the death of his wife 16 years ago he had made his home with his daughter, Lucy. He was a kind and loving father and neighbor, and was dearly loved by both the older and younger people of his community. Although he had been in failing health for the past few years he never complained. He always had a kind word and a cheerful smile for everyone. Not only will he be sadly missed by his family and especially Lucy who had so faithfully and lovingly cared for him these past several years, he will be sadly missed by his many friends. Funeral services were held at the Bethel Church, Sunday, Feb. 7 at 2:30 p.m. with Lewis Mead officiating. Burial was in the church cemetery.
