** OBITUARY **
Mr. Benjamin Franklin Wiley, Sr., was bom to Emanuel and Nancy Wiley on August 15, 1892 in Columbia, South Carolina.
At an early age he relocated to Augusta, Georgia and be came a member of Trinity C.M.E. Church. It was there that he served as a faithful Steward for many years.
Mr. Wiley was employed by the Elks Club of Augusta for a number of years. He retired in 1958. f
His declining health condition was the major factor which prevented him from serving as he once did in his church and on his job.
Mr. Wiley was a devoted husband, father, and brother. His view of his suffering was something to be admired because it was from a Christian perspective.
Last Tuesday morning, about 6:00 A. M., our Lord called his servant home from Talmadge Hospital.
Survivors include, a loving wife, Mrs. Marjuerite Porter Wiley; a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Rose Mary Wiley of California; two nieces, Mrs. Frankie Huff of Augusta and Mrs. Nancy Wil liams of New York; one nephew, Mr. James Wiley of Augusta; great nieces and nephews, Mrs. Bernice Colston, Mrs. Ann Cobb, Mrs. Patricia Anthony of Augusta, Mrs. Barbara Tutt, Bronx, New York, Mr. Samuel Tutt, Hempstead, New York, Mr. Johnnie Tutt, Sr., of Augusta; and a host of relatives and friends.
