Weill, Harry 

Weill, Lige Harry  a prominent local attorney who enjoyed a legendary career of more than 60 years and who spread a unique zest for life wherever he went, died Wednesday, June 22, 2005, at a local hospital. He was 88. The senior partner in the Chattanooga law firm of Weill, Durand and Long, he began his passionate pursuit of law in 1940 and, with the exception of time spent in military service, never left or retired from the profession he loved.
   During the long span of his career, he also devoted his energy and leadership talent to a number of civic and religious organizations and community endeavors and enlivened countless social gathering with his renowned storytelling skills.
   An avid lifelong skier, he was tackling slopes in North and South America and Europe into his 88th year, making these trips with area ski clubs or with his children and grandchildren in tow. A devoted family man, the trips became a high point of the Weill family activities calendar.
   A Chattanooga native, he attended McCallie School, graduating in 1932 at the young age of 15. He received a bachelor’s degree from the University of Virginia in 1936 and a law degree from Harvard University Law School in 1940. After graduating from Harvard, he returned to Chattanooga, where he joined the law firm of Joseph Roberts and accepted an appointment as legal counsel to one of the county’s World War II Selective Service boards. Instead of granting himself an indefinite deferment from military service as he might have, he drafted himself into the Army among Hamilton County ’s first group of inductees.
   During World War II, he served first in military intelligence, then received flight training to become an Army Air Corps B29 pilot, flying bombing missions from Northwest Field in Guam. After the war, he returned permanently to his hometown and the legal profession. He married Marcelle Baum of Birmingham, Ala., in December 1947, and the couple had three children, Lige, Flossie and Audrey.
   Harry Weill held a number of posts, including president of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, an officer of Kiwanis Club, a board director of Girls’ Club of Chattanooga, a member of the Estate Planning Council of Chattanooga, a founder of Bank of Rossville and president of Mizpah Congregation.
   During his more than 60 years of legal service, he was a member of the local, state and national bar associations and a member of the Chattanooga and Tennessee Trial Lawyers Association. He was admitted to the Supreme Court of Tennessee and U.S. Supreme Court and was a member of the American Judicature Society.
   For most of his six decades of legal practice, he worked from offices in the Volunteer Building in downtown Chattanooga. The firm, which includes Flossie Weill, Ira Long Jr., Whitney Durand and Bill Bolen, recently moved two blocks away to new offices in the Tallan Building.
   He was preceded in death by his mother and father, Elsie Wertheimer Weill and David Robert Weill; his brother, Dr. David Robert Weill Jr. of Pittsburgh, Pa.; and his sister, Betty Rose Long of Chattanooga.
   Survivors include his wife, Marcelle Baum Weill; three children, Lige Harry Weill of Knoxville, Flossie Weill of Chattanooga and Audrey Weill Bolson of Mercer Island, Wash.; son-in-law, David Bolson of Mercer Island; four grandchildren, Johnny Shoaf and Alex Shoaf, both of Chattanooga, and Philip Bolson and Harry Bolson, both of Mercer Island; and several nieces and nephews.

 Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m. today, June 24, in the Temple sanctuary at Mizpah Congregation at 923 McCallie Ave. with Rabbi Joshua Lief officiating.
   A private interment ceremony for the family will follow at Mizpah Cemetery.

Pezavan P. Whatley died Tuesday, Jan. 18, 2005, in a local hospital.

He was born on Jan. 10, 1951, in Chattanooga to the late Andrew Joe Whatley and Beatrice Whatley.

He was preceded in death by his grandparents, William T. and Matilda Franklin Mitcham, and father.

At a young age, Pezavan accepted God and was first baptized in 1959 at Greater Tucker Missionary Baptist Church and later again at St. Francis Catholic Church. Pezavan remained an active member of St. Peter and Paul Catholic Church.

Pez graduated in 1969 from Notre Dame High School. During his tenure, he earned two state high school wrestling championships, first in 1967 and again in 1969, becoming the first black athlete recognized in this event. At Notre Dame he also played football in the position of running back. He attended Southern University at Baton Rouge, LA, later joining the University of Chattanooga, where he quickly earned a varsity letter.

Having this love for wrestling, Pezavan used these talents as his steppingstones allowing him to escalate to the professional wrestling arena under the aliases of "Pistol Pez," "Shaska" and "Willie B. Hurt" being some of the names he had in his top hat of many to choose from.

Pez was noted not only for his athletic ability but also for the love of people. If he met you for the first time, he would always remember that first meeting. His love for people was so large his heart could not expand fast enough to accept it all. His abundant love of wrestling propelled him to launch a Saturday night television program titled "The Take-Down Show" for Chattanooga and the surrounding communities featuring high school wrestling from the wrestler’s point of view to the coaches and referee expression and the inside pages of the sport.

With constant declining health, Pez always kept the sport of wrestling and the love of Chattanooga on the front burner for everyone to enjoy.

He is survived by four children, Pezavan II, Letitia, Nicholas and Cecil; six grandchildren; mother, Beatrice Whatley; brother, Andrew J. Whatley Jr.; sister, Autrey Wade; sister-in-law, Francis (Willis) Whatley; and host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Funeral services will be at noon on Saturday at Tucker Baptist Church with the Rev. Billingsley and others officiating.

Interment will be in Mount Olivet Cemetery.

The family will receive friends from 7-8 p.m. Friday at the McCallie Avenue Chapel of Franklin-Strickland Funeral Directors, (423) 265-4414.

Woy, John 

Woy, John  Veteran Officer, Died Yesterday
Had Enviable Record as Patrolman and Detective.

John W. Woy aged 51 years, for more than twenty years a member of the police and detective department, died yesterday at 12:15 at his home, 1019 West Eleventh street. Mr. Woy had been in failing health for several years, and about six weeks ago was forced to take to his bed. John Woy was one of the best known and most popular officers this city has ever known. He was brave, fearless and efficient, and held the confidence and esteem of his associates and his superior officers. About a year ago, on account of failing health and long service, Mr. Woy was retired from the detective department and since that time has been trying to regain his health. Soon after being retired Mr. Woy, together with his wife, took a trip through the west, and returned from the trip much improved. Soon after returning here Mr. Woy¹s health again began failing, and he steadily grew worse. Despite the fact that Mr. Woy had suffered constantly during the past several years, he bore that suffering with fortitude and remarkable nerve and never once did his friends hear him complain.

    While a member of the police department Mr. Woy took part in some of the most noted cases in the criminal annals of this city, and through his work many noted criminals were run to earth. Probably the most celebrated case Mr. Woy ever took part in was when he was first made a member of the police force. Some twenty years ago the Chattanooga Grocery company, of which M. J. O'Brien was president, was the victim of a series of bold and daring robberies that startled this city and for a time baffled the police. Woy, together with brother officers was put to work on the case and after several months' hard work succeeded in running to earth ten men., who were tried and convicted of the robberies. Another celebrated case in which Mr. Woy took a prominent part was the arresting here of Frank Duncan. Duncan was a noted safeblower, and one night in Birmingham, while he was at work, he was cornered by two policemen. A desperate battle took place, the result of which Duncan killed both officers and succeeded in making his escape. Duncan came here and later, by a cleverly arranged plan, was arrested by Officer Woy and two other officers.

Mr. Woy is survived by his wife and one son, Robert Woy. The following brothers and sisters survive him: Lee Woy, Mrs. Ernest Lang, Mrs. J. C. Bell. Mrs. Dave Jones, all of this city; Mrs. James Hogan, of Birmingham; Mrs. George Jones, of Knoxville, and Mrs. B. F. Amiss, of Salem, Va. Funeral services will be held from the residence at 10 o¹clock Tuesday morning. Interment in Forest Hills. The Rev. Wolfe, pastor of the Whiteside Street church will officiate. Pallbearers will be selected from the police department.

Woy, Joseph
A Suicide Father of John Woy Ends Life With Pistol.
Wandering Mind and Ill-Health the Cause
Tragedy Takes Place at Old Home of His Wife
Suspicions of Possible Homicide Occasion Strict Investigation by Police.

Joseph Woy, aged 74, one of the oldest and most widely known citizens of Chattanooga, committed suicide at his home on East End Avenue at 7:20 o¹clock yesterday morning. A bullet from a .38 caliber pistol was fired into the brain from a point just behind the right ear. Moy's mind has been impaired for some time and aggravated by an illness extending over the past weeks, that is assigned as the cause of his act.
Mr. Woy was recently wedded to the widow of Rody Buol, who was killed by a dynamite charge. In choosing a scene for the ending of his life he selected the room in which his wife¹s former husband was so violently sent to his death.
There was nothing in the man¹s actions of the past few days indicating a purpose of suicide, and the act came unexpected to those who knew him intimately. His wife stated that he was extremely nervous only a few minutes before the shots rang out, but that she suspected nothing.
Mr. Woy was the father of John, a retired member of the police and detective force of this city.
It was reported frequently yesterday that a number of circumstances in connection with his death pointed to belief that a hand other than his own had fired the shots, but careful investigation upon the part of the police department established the fact of suicide beyond the shadow of a doubt.
Mr. Woy sustained a serious blow in the bend several years ago which result in permanent mental aberration, which has been noticed at intervals ever since, but had never taken a suicidal form before. For the past three weeks he has been in ill health. His advanced age may have also played a part in bring about the end.
The family at 338 East End Avenue, consisting of Mr. Woy and his wife, arose early yesterday morning. The wife set about the work of preparing breakfast, assisted by a negro servant. Mrs. Woy suffered a paralytic stroke several years ago which resulted in losing the use of all muscles on one side. She was in the kitchen, but merely directed the work of the negro girl.
It was found that someone would have to make a trip to the store and the negro girl was ordered to go. Woy insisted that the short walk would be beneficial to him, and, against the wishes of his wife, went after the article needed. When he returned Mrs. Woy and the girl were still in the kitchen.
He remained long enough to prepare some medicine for his wife and then went to a room in the front of the house. Three doors separated him from the kitchen.
Two shots were fired. Both were clearly heard by neighbors, although the two women in the back end of the house state that they heard nothing unusual. The first took effect in the head just behind the right. passed completely through the brain and came out at a point about three inches behind the left eye. The second was caused the dying man closing his fingers over the trigger of the gun as he fell, and the bullet passed through the wall.
Mrs. Woy had noticed the nervous condition of her husband and sent the girl in to see why he did not come to breakfast. The negress says that she opened the door just in time to see him fall. She screamed, then turned and ran. Before Mrs. Woy could reach her husband¹¹s side neighbors rushed in and closed the door. She did not see him after he was shot. Dr. Morris was called and responded within a few minutes. Hound the man lying in a pool of blood near the fireplace. The right arm was bent under his body and the stiff fingers were still closed around the butt of the revolver. Woy lived until 8 o¹clock, or about forty minutes.
Wann¹s ambulance was called and the man taken to the home of his son, John Woy, 1019 East Tenth street. He died just as he was being taken in the house.
The pistol used by Woy in his act of self-destruction was loaned to by his son about one month ago. In borrowing this he stated that burglars were becoming frequent visitors in his neighborhood and that the revolver was 38 special Smith & Wesson, as adopted by police regulations. John Woy picked it up when he called to remove his father and it is now in his possession.
Detectives Gault and Krug were sent by Capt. Smith to investigate the case. The story of Mrs. Woy and that of the negro girl, Stella Armstrong, were similar, and both were borne out by circumstantial evidence, and the statements or neighbors. There will be no inquest over the body.
Joseph Woy was born in Bedford County, Pennsylvania, March 9, 1837. He attended the public schools there and spent the early part of his life at the home of his parents. He came to Chattanooga in 1879 to take charge of a department of the Chattanooga tannery. Mr. Woy was foreman for seven years, retiring because of bad health. After his health failed, he was practically unemployed.
He is survived by two sons and six daughters. They are John and Lee Woy, Mrs. Alice Jones, of this city; Mrs. Ettie Jones, of Knoxville; Mrs. Jesse Hogan, of Birmingham; Mrs. Mame Bell, of Highland Park; Mrs. Lang, of Fort Negley, and Mrs. Lizzie Amos, of Salem, Va.

Woy, Lee

Woy, Lee G.  58 dies at his residence
Veteran Officer Joined Police Force in 1916‹Served in Spanish War.

The already depleted ranks of the old-timers in the police department were further thinned with the death late yesterday afternoon of Lee G. Woy, 58, veteran officer, who died at his home, 3105 Idlewild drive, after a lingering illness. Woy’s death was the second to occur in the department this week. Born in Saxton, Pa., Sept 20, 1876, to Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Woy. Woy was brought here at the age of 3 by his parents, who settled in Wauhatchie. He joined the police department July 27, 1916, and saw service as a mounted officer, first on a horse and then a motorcycle. He served eight years under former Commissioner E. D. Herron and has just completed eight years under Commissioner Eugene J. Bryan.
During the Spanish-American war, Woy was stationed at Fort Oglethorpe and was retired from the army as a sergeant. Serge. R. B. Reace, a warm personal friend was with him during the campaign. Woy was known as a quiet man who did his work efficiently. Well-liked by his superiors and fellow policemen alike, he had many friends in the and out of the department.

Young, Bennett Henderson "General"

Death of General Bennett Henderson Young Distinguished In War and Literature
Former Commander in Chief of U. C. V. Crosses Over The River
The announcement of the death of General Bennett Henderson Young, which came from Louisville, Kentucky, last night, brought with it to Chattanooga A sense of sincere sorrow, for General Young has many friends not only in Chattanooga but throughout this section, where many of the heroes of the Confederacy live, and it was among this class that this gallant old soldier had formed many warm attachments, not only during the four years of war, but since that bloody period, and today they mourn his passing.

General Young was commander in chief of the Confederate Veterans’ Association from 1913 till 1916 and presided over the reunion held in Chattanooga, in May, 1913.

The death of the general came as a surprise to many, thought it was known that he was in Florida for the benefit of his health. He returned to his home in Louisville Saturday night in a dying condition and lived only a few hours after his arrival.

General Young served during the Civil War with Generals John Morgan, J E. B. Stewart and Mosby; three of the most gallant commanders of the Confederate Army.

In 1914 General Young wrote “Confederate Wizards of the Saddle,” a thrilling tale of operations of the Confederate Cavalry.

He was a lawyer and had been actively engaged in the practice of his profession in Louisville since the Civil War.

General Young was born in Nicholasville, Kentucky, and was educated at Center College, Kentucky, and Queens College, Toronto, Canada, and graduated in law from Queens College, Belfast, Ireland. He received honorary degrees from the Southwestern Presbyterian University and Kings College, Tennessee.

He had been married twice, his first wife being Mattie R. Robinson and his second Eliza S. Sharp.

General Young had held a number of positions of trust and honor since his residence in Louisville. In 1916 he was made honorary commander in chief of the U. C. V. for life, and honor the old soldiers has never bestowed on any other man.

General Young was a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and was active in all of the church’s affairs. He was not only a busy lawyer, but he found time to contribute extensively to the literature of his day, being author of “The Battle of the Thames,” “Prehistoric Men of Kentucky,” “History of Jessamine County, Kentucky,” “Battle of Blue Like,” history of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, besides many legal and other pamphlets.
