Willis  Jaquay 

There is much sympathy for Mr. and Mrs. Herbert G. Jaquay because of the 
death of their second son, Willis H. who passed away about three o'clock 
Thursday morning after an illness of several weeks.  Willis was a bright, 
attractive child and had made many friends among his schoolmates and others 
who knew him.  He was in his 13th year and was a pupil in Miss McGuinness's 
class in school.  This is the first break in a charming family circle of four 
sons and one daughter.  Friends may view the remains between the hours of 10 
and 11 o'clock Saturday morning.  Funeral services will be held privately at 
the late home Saturday afternoon at 2:30.  Rev. N. S. Burd officiating and 
burial was be made in Lenox Rural Cemetery. 
 
[Facts: he was born 14 September 1896 in Canastota; died 7 January 1909 in 
Canastota; he was the son of my grandmother and grandfather and the brother 
to my father Harold.
