JOSEPH G. WHITEHOUSE
KILLED IN LOUISVILLE
Joseph Graham Whitehouse, 39, formerly of this county, was killed instantly about 9 o'clock last Thursday night at the Illinois Central Railroad Yards in Louisville, where he was employed. It is thought that he slipped while climbing on a boxcar and fell, and the train passed over him. Mr. Whitehouse was born Joseph Graham, a son of Sam and Grace Whitehouse Graham of the Gravel Switch section, and was a native of this county. His mother died when he was about a year old and he was reared by his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Whitehouse, whose name he assumed. He was employed as a switchman in the L & N shops for a number of years, and for the past six months had been in the Illinois Central. He had made his home away from here for about 10 years. Surviving are his wife, the former Miss Stella Sapp, also a Marion Countian, and a daughter, Grace, aged twelve; also a sister, Mrs. Bertha Roberts of Stanford, a half-sister, Miss Hazel Graham of Louisville, and five half-brothers, Ishmael, Finley and Ray Graham, this county; Sam Graham, who is in the armed forces, and Everett Graham of Louisville. The body was brought to the Bosley Funeral Home Saturday morning, and remained there until Sunday afternoon, when funeral services were conducted at 2 o'clock at the Haysville Baptist Church by the Rev. T.J. Porter, Lebanon pastor. Burial was in the church cemetery. Pallbearers were six nephews, J. H. Whitehouse, H.G. and W.B. Rexroat, Jr., and Finley, Ishmael and Ray Graham.
