        William Westerfield Dies at His Home at Dermot

    William Westerfield died of a complication of diseases Thursday at
his home in the Dermot neighborhood. He was a highly respected farmer of
that section. A wife and several children survive him. O. C. Westerfield,
of Owensboro, is a brother of the deceased. The funeral took place Friday
morning. The interment was at Elmwood.[Owensboro, Daviess Co.]

    [Notes from my files: It is possible that  O. C. was Oliver C. and
that this is the William who was a son of Meltravis and Zerilda Josephine
(Westerfield) Westerfield (later Clark). Meltravis was a son of Isaac and
Zerilda Josephine (Poole) Westerfield. The younger Zerilda Josephine was a
daughter of David and Elizabeth (Moseley) Westerfield. The fathers, Isaac
and David, were sons of Cornelius, sr. and Elizabeth (Bruce) Westerfield
who lived in Ohio and Daviess Counties, KY.]
