COUNTY'S LAST CIVIL WAR VETERAN IS DEAD

BAZEL LEMLEY, 101 YEARS OLD DIED AT MT. MORRIS HOME
EIGHT DAYS AFTER OBSERVING ANNIVERSARY

Basel Lemley, 101 years old and the last of Greene County's Civil War veterans, died at 8 o'clock yesterday morning, February 18, 1943, just eight days after  the observance of his 101st anniversary, at his home in Mt. Morris.

Mr. Lemley was remarkably active until after his 100th anniversary a year ago, but since that time has not enjoyed  good health.  He was born  Feb. 10, 1842, at Marietta, Ohio, a son of Isreal  and Mable White Lemley, and had spent practically all his life in Greene County, the family having moved  from Ohio to Greene County five weeks after his birth.
