Wiley Is Dead
Served as Bond Clerk in State Auditor's Office 22 Years.
----------
Former member of Legislature and Meade Treasurer.
George W. Wiley, bond clerk in the state auditor's office for nearly 22 years, died early today in a local hospital, where he was taken Christmas night. He would have been 83 years old on January 24, and he worked regularly at his office until six weeks ago.
A staunch Republican all his life, Mr. Wiley was born January 24, 1850, in Wayne county, Ind. He was a firm friend of Sen. James Watson, of that state.
When a youth, he moved with his parents to Osceola, Iowa, and grew to manhood there, and came to Kansas in the spring of 1887, settling in Meade center. There he was in the real estate business for several years, and engaged in farming, also. He served as county treasurer of Meade county two terms, came to the legislature in 1899, and served two terms as state fish and game warden under Governor Stanley.
Served State Since 1911
In April 1911 he was brought to Topeka by his son-in-law, William E. Davis, state auditor, as bond clerk, a position he held until his death.
In 1928 he was a Republican presidential elector and cast a vote in the electoral college for President Hoover, of whom he was a staunch admirer.
Mr. Wiley was a baseball enthusiast, and was a familiar figure at night games in which Topeka was a participant.
He was an active Mason, having joined the Blue Lodge when 21 years old, and he always maintained his interests in affairs Masonic. He was a member of the consistory and the Knights Templar.
He leaves his widow, Mrs. Lena M. Wiley, of the home address, 623 West street; two daughters, Mrs. W.E. Davis, Topeka, and Mrs. H.M. Coon, Meade, Kan.; two grandchildren, W.E. Davis, Jr., Topeka, and Mrs. T.T. Cornett, Dalhart, Tex.; and a sister, Mrs. J.W. Cannerly, Stamford, S.D.
Funeral services will be held at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon at the Wall-Diffenderfer mortuary. Burial will be in Mt. Hope Abbey.
