Boy Instantly Killed in Attempt to Move Wire
November 1, 1922 page 1 Urbana Courier

Homer, Ill., Nov. 1. - Virgil Wilson, employed on the farm of W. H. Taylor, west of here, was killed by electrocution at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when he attempted to remove a wire that obstructed a path of a corn dump that he and Mr. Taylor were taking home from a sale.

Mr. Taylor purchased the dump last Wednesday and yesterday he and Wilson went to take it home. At a point east of town a wire was hanging too low to clear the dump and Wilson attempted to raise it. The wire proved to be charged with electricity and he was killed instantly.

Wilson was only 17 years old. He had been employed by Mr. Taylor during the past two years.

The body was taken last night to the undertaking rooms of L. L. Hamill and was sent at 5 o'clock this morning to Clay City, Illinois, the home of the victim's people. Mr. Hamill accompanied the remains as far as Danville and Mr. Taylor went all the way.

A coroner's inquest conducted at the undertaking rooms last night resulted in a verdict of accidental death by electric shock.

Notes:

Janice Kaye DeHart, 72, of Clay City, died at 9:45 a.m. Monday, March 24, 2014, at St. Mary's Good Samaritan Hospital in Mt. Vernon of respiratory failure after a long battle with COPD and congestive heart failure.

Ms. DeHart was born in Richland County on October 13, 1941, to Elmo Glen Dehart and Lorena Mae (Abbott) Dehart. She resided most of her life in the Clay County area.

She graduated Clay City High School in 1959 and attended Clay City First Community Baptist Church. She had been employed at Sparton Manufacturing, Inc., Ames Handle Factory, The Arbors Center, Buehler's Buy Low, and Addus Healthcare. She had an associate's degree in social services and loved helping people.

Mom never won the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes, but she sure did try, she loved to read, play bingo, garden, animals, and to wash the windows to watch it snow. Voted most talkative four years running in high school, she kept up that reputation up until she passed away. She loved to talk on the phone after she became too ill to visit people's homes personally.

The family would like to thank the many caregivers who have taken care of Janice over the years, but they are too numerous to list individually. Dr. Ashok Kumar, Clay County Hospital, and Clay County Health Department have always done what they could to try to keep Janice healthy over the years. She always had the staff laughing and they kept her spirits up.

She is survived by her daughter, Dedra Kaye DeHart; brother and sister-in-law, John and Julie Dehart; nephews, Jason and Heath Dehart, and their wives Erin and Addie Dehart; and two great-nephews, Corbin and Gavin Dehart. She leaves behind special friends Meanie and Sam Medernach, Rosa Owen, Elizabeth Kesterson, and Margie Holland, and many, many friends and relatives.

She was preceded in death by her parents.

Mother hated funerals and visitations, but she will be cremated and a celebration of life ceremony will be held at a later date at Clay City First Community Baptist Church where all who knew her can gather and share stories.

In lieu of flowers and tokens for the family, please donate to CCARS Fur a Good PAWS, the Clay County Food Pantry, or the charitable donation of your choice.

The best memorial you can make is to always remember her with a smile and a laugh, for that's how she would have liked to be remembered.

Notes:

Lexi Darlene Duncan, 27, of Clay City, Illinois, lost her battle with drug addiction on Monday, March 15, 2021, at Good Samaritan Hospital in Mt. Vernon. Lexi had expressed her desire to be an organ donor, and her wish was remembered and granted. Because of this, three other individuals were given the gift of life, helping bring comfort and peace to those who loved her.

Lexi was born October 4, 1993, in Centralia, the daughter of Ashley (Phillips) Strausbaugh. She was a graduate of Clay City High school and attended Olney Community College. Lexi’s love of cooking and baking brought much joy to her friends and family. This was especially true when she made pies with a homemade crust from the recipe which had been passed down by her great-grandmother, Lois, who had also taught her how to sew. As Lexi’s sewing skills advanced, she began to personalize her work with a unique and creative style. Lexi’s compassionate and caring heart led her to serve as a caregiver for seniors.

Lexi is survived by her mother and stepfather: Ashley and Travis Strausbaugh; her sisters: Lacey Weller, Livey Bumgarner, and Kayhla Haller; her aunt: Kelley (Aaron) Billiot; grandparents: Earl and Sherry Phillips; and nieces: Vylet Esparza, Eriella Haller, and Amena Haller. She was preceded in death by her great-grandparents: Jack and Lois Sharp and her stepfather: Lowell “Bum” Bumgarner.

There will be no public ceremony. The family wishes to acknowledge your kind and loving thoughts and gestures of sympathy.
