Raleigh Register Beckley, W. Va. Monday Afternoon April 2, 1934 Wm. Jarrell Succumbs on Horse Creek Infirmities Incident To Advanced Age Cause Death of Well Known Resident of Marsh Fork William Jarrell, 87, member of one of the county's oldest families and himself a life-long resident of Horse Creek, died at his home there this morning at 4 o'clock of the infirmities of age. Funeral services will be conducted at the residence tomorrow afternoon, and burial will follow in the family cemetery a few yards from the home. His death lacked two hours of being exactly 43 years after the death of his first wife, Nancy C. Daniel, who died April 2, 1891. Mr. Jarrell collapsed at his home March 10, and was found, apparently lifeless by his daughter, Miss Nannie Jarrell, who summoned help. He was resuscitated but never fully recovered, and his death early today was not unexpected. The son of James and Martha Pettry Jarrell, he was born February 17, 1847, and, save for about two years, spent his entire life on Horse Creek, engaging profitably in farming and kindred pursuits. A member of a family of 12 children he is survived by three brothers, Jake and John Jarrell, both of Horse Creek, and George Jarrell, of Packsville. He served five terms as justice of the peace of Marsh Fork district, and two terms as constable. He is survived by the following children: G. L. Jarrell, of Packsville; Mrs. Joe Humphreys, of Pax; Sidney Jarrell of Naomi; Mrs. Laura Jarrell, of Red Dragon; William Jarrell, J. J. Jarrell, and Miss Nannie Jarrell, all of Naomi. A daughter, Sarah, died about 43 years ago, another, Mrs. Launa Pettry, about 17 years ago, and a son, Jacob, about six years ago. Fifty-four grandchildren also survive him, and 34 great grandchildren. It is interesting to note that both he and his father were life-long residents of Marsh Fork district, his father having been born at Pettus September 12, 1814. Funeral services will be conducted at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon. The Reverend Grant Stephens will conduct the services.
