W. C. Laizure
Obituary
After two days of severe illness, W. C. Laizure passed away quietly at one o'clock Friday morning, October 29. He was born July 15, 1847, at Cadiz, Ohio. At the age of 16, he enlisted as a volunteer in Co. K, 170th Regiment of the Ohio National Guard. He was discharged from the army in 1864 at Columbus, Ohio.
In his early manhood, he united with the Methodist Episcopal church and was always loyal to his faith.
May 5, 1875, he was united in marriage with Mary V. McKeever, of Hendrysburg, Penn. To this union were born four children: one daughter, who in infancy preceded her father to the better land, and three sons, who remain to mourn the departure of their devoted father.
The sons are Clyde M. Laizure mining engineer, Redding, California; Dallas C. Laizure, Lieutenant Commander on the battleship Florida; and Jerome Laizure, in the aerial mail service at Reno, Nevada.
Besides the bereaved wife, the subject of this sketch is mourned by three sisters, Mrs. Hedington, of Frankfort, Kansas; Mrs. Wood of Cadiz, Ohio; Mrs. Scott, of Grangeville, Penn.; and one brother, C. H. Laizure, of Omak.
This is the first death in thirty-three years of those born to the Laizure name in this immediate family.
The funeral service was conducted at Okanogan, Sunday, 3 p.m., by Revs. C. J. Boppell and David Brown, the veterans of the G. A. R. and the American Legion in attendance. The body was taken to Fargo, N. D., to be interred beside the infant daughter. The widow was accompanied by Mrs. C. H. Laizure and was to be met in Fargo by her son, Lieut. Com. Dallas C. Laizure. The boys of the American Legion again turned out Monday morning as a guard of honor to escort the body to the train.
