    3. The Charleston Daily Mail Charleston, West Virginia March 24, 1925 WILLIAM T. QUESENBURY OF BECKLEY DEAD at 73 Beckley, March 24. ---- William T. Quesenberry, one of Beckley's oldest citizens, died at his home on Heber Street at the age of 73 years. It is supposed that he died of heart trouble, as he was awake at 5 o'clock in the morning, but dropped back to sleep, apparently, and his wife a few minutes later discovered that he was dead. He had been in apparently good health and the day before had mingled with his friends on the street. Although a Virginian by birth, having been born in Pulaski county in 1852, shortly after the Civil war he removed to Raleigh county, first settling on a farm near Lanark. Later he removed to Fayette county, then came back to Beckley and has resided here ever since. Mr. Quesenberry had been twice married, having first wedded Miss Martha Warden. After her death he married Miss Dora May Marshall, by whom he is survived. Seven children by his first wife also survive, they being Mrs. C. M. Calloway, of Huntington; Mrs. F. C. George of Beckley; Mrs. James Laing, of Lewisburg; Joe, W. E., Ernest Quesenberry, of Beckley; and Lloyd Quesenberry of Huntington. One brother, James Quesenberry, of Riley, and one sister, Mrs. Martha Powell, of near Stanaford, also survive. Note: Quesen"bury" is correctly transcribed in title.
