Knights of Columbus, in which Mr.
LaVelle was prominent, having been
a charter member and Intimately
connected with it ever since its for
mation, wll participate as a body.
Mr. LaVelle passed away at 12:25
Sunday morning after having suffer
ed nearly a year. His sorrowing
family were with him at the end,
which came most peacefully. He
was born Aug. 12, 184, at Nashville,
Tenn. When still a lad his parents
came north to Port Byron, where he
attended the public school. For
three years after his graduation, he
, was employed as clerk in the general
store at Port "Byron and there receiv
ed his early training in the mercan
tile business in which he later made
such a success.
Enters BmtnrM In 1894.
Twenty-one years ago Mr. LaVelle
came to this city in company with the
remainder of his family, and after
working for a year at the London
clothing store as a clerk, he changed
to the M. & K. store, where he re
mained four years. In 1894 he en
tered Into partnership with E. J.
Sommers and they conducted a men's
furnishing business where the Rock
'' Island hardware store is now located.
The partners were most successful
during the 11 years they were to
gether in the business. In 1905 they
dissolved and Mr. LaVelle became
sole proprietor. His personality
kept the business increasing all the
time and it was only about two years
ago that he changed quarters so
that he would have a corner and a
tore of which he could well be
proud. Then came sickness. Bow
ever, and he had to give up his large
business and it was subsequently
acquired by Sexton brothers.
The marriage of Mr. LaVelle with
Miss Rose Sommers, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Peter Sommers of this city,
took place in 1893. Mrs. LaVelle
and four children survive Mr. La
Velle. The children are Leo, Helen,
Grace and Thomas.
Mr. LaVelle was a brother of the
fate J. J. LaVelle, for many years
identified with The Argue, and who
at the time of his untimely passing,
was business maHager of the publica
tion. He was among the best
known and most popular cit- j
Izens of Rock Island. Of a sun- i
ny nature, his uniform courtesy won
for him a warm spot in the hearts
of all who knew him, and his death
has occasioned genuine sadness.
