Max WILLETT died Friday morning, February 16, 1900, at the residence of his father-in-law, Dan ROBERTS, Sr. He began his medical career in this county. He married Miss Ophelia ROBERTS, and settled in Ekron (Meade County, Ky.). His health began to fail there, and with his family, he moved to Colorado in the hope of regaining his health and strength. But the terrible disease was too much for him, and not a year did he remain in that place. Last week, his wife, accompanied by his brother, the Reverend Arthur WILLITT, arrived at Ekron with him. He was taken to Dr. SHACKLETT'S for several days, but he was anxious to get on home, and on the 9th he was moved to the home of Mr. Dan ROBERTS. The funeral was held February 17, 1900 at Buck Grove Church.
