Oliver - JW Oliver, familiarly known as "Tus," a former resident of Jackson County and well remembered by many of the older readers of The Banner died at his home in Crawfordsville, Ind Friday morning about 8:45 o'clock. Although he had been in poor health for some time past, yet he was able to be up and about until a few days before his death, the immediate cause of which was an acute attack of stomach trouble. Funeral services were held at the family home in Crawfordsville Monday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, Rev. Geo. Leonard pastor of the Christian Church at New Richmond officiating, followed by interment at Oak Hill cemetery, Crawfordsville.
Deceased was born at Carthage, Ohio Oct 24, 1848 but moved with his parents to a farm about three miles east of Seymour where he grew to manhood. He was a son of William and Eliza Oliver, deceased, and was the last survivor of a family of 10 children, six boys and four girls. About 1885 he located in Montgomery County where he spent the rest of his life. On April 7, 1887, he was united in marriage to Carrie Brodhecker of Brownstown. To their union were born five children, three boys and two girls, one girl dying in infancy. Besides his widow he is survived by three sons and one daughter, viz: Frank of New Richmond; Walter of Detroit, Mich; Lawrence of Indianapolis and Mrs. Mary Oliver Walls wife of Stanley Walls, publisher of the Jacksonville Leader. Deceased was a man of good impulses. He was very sociable, agreeable and of a most pleasant and jovial disposition. He was kind-hearted, sympathetic and of a most general nature. As a husband and father there was no sacrifice too great for him to make for the comfort and welfare of his family. He followed farming for some years but for a number of years was employed at various vocations in the city of Crawfordsville. For the past 11 years he was employed with the interurban company, retiring last October on account of failing health. About two years ago he was presented with a gold-headed cane by employees with whom he was associated as a token of the esteem and respect in which he was held by them. When a young man he united with the Ebenezer Baptist Church near Seymour. - kbz
