The death of Mrs. John Gesie occurred at her home in Monticello, Tuesday afternoon, February 18, at 4:15 o'clock. Mrs. Gesie had been ill for the past three years, but not until the past holiday season did her condition become serious.
Mrs. Gesie was born August 23, 1906, at Monmouth, Iowa. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sam McCartey, and her maiden name was Lennie Mary McCartey. Her mother died when Mrs. Gesie was seven years old. She was married to John Gesie on May 18, 1925.
Besides her husband, Mrs. Gesie is survived by three sons, Arthur John, Robert Dewey, and Eugene Lee; her father, Sam McCartey of Onslow; two brothers, James and Bernie McCartey of Monmouth; two half-brothers, Floyd and Keith McCartey of Onslow; one step-brother, William Allen of San Diego, Cal., and one step-sister, Mrs. Bernice Usery of Kansas City, Mo.
Funeral services were held this afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Hayes funeral parlor. They will be in charge of Mrs. Gesie's pastor, Rev. William J. Grossheim, and burial will be made at Oakwood cemetery. Mr. Gesie and his three sons have the sincere sympathy of many friends.
