BICYCLIST DIES OF CRASH INJURY
PAUL WEAGLEY Succumbs to Complications Arising from Punctured Lung.
Dr. S.D. Shull, county
coroner, planned to impanel a jury in Waynesboro this afternoon to conduct in
an inquest into the death of Paul Weagley, 52 Waynesboro, who succumbed at 8:20
this morning to injuries he received Monday evening when a bicycle he was
riding was struck by an automobile, a mile north of Waynesboro.
Attaches at the Waynesboro
Hospital, where Weagley was taken following the accident, said his death was
attributed to complications arising from a puncture wound of the left lung and
other internal injuries.
PVT. James E. Winters of local
state police substation said this morning that no charges have been preferred
against the driver of the automobile, who he identified as Ben Edner, 37, of
the Anthony Wayne Hotel, Waynesboro. The
State trooper added, however, that he is continuing his investigation.
Weagley, Private Winters
explained, was riding his cycle north on Waynesboro-Chambersburg road when he
attempted to make a left turn into a Washington Township road. The Edner Car, attempting to pass the cycle
at the time Weagley began making a left turn collided with the Cycle and then
ploughed into guard posts adjacent to the road berm.
The accident victim, a native
of the Waynesboro area, was veteran of World War I and had been residing at the
Waynesboro Y.M.C.A. where he worked as an attendant.
The body was released to the
Grove Funeral Home. Waynesboro Efforts
were being made by the funeral home today to get in touch with survivors.

Bio: Concerning William E. Weagley
What
few people knew at the time was that George was a gay man. He maintained a
55-year relationship with his lover William E. Weagley (sometimes spelled
Weagly), who was often referred to as Kelly’s valet. That Kelly was gay was a
closely guarded secret and went unacknowledged by his family – to the point of
their not inviting Weagley to Kelly’s funeral in Pennsylvania. Weagley quietly
slipped in and took a seat in the back at St. Bridget’s in order to attend the
service. Worse, the Philadelphia Kelly’s, who seldom missed an opportunity to
pass moral judgment on others, forced Weagley to eat in the kitchen with the
servants when George and William were visiting, thus reinforcing their
acknowledgment that William was regarded as nothing more than George’s
employee, a valet. While it’s true that William often cooked, typed, and
performed secretarial services for George, William was much more than a
traveling companion and valet. The couple were loyal, devoted partners who were
deeply in love.
When George and William hosted dinner parties at their home in Laguna Beach, California, the two men sat at opposite ends of the table as equal co-hosts and partners. Subsequently, many of the Kelly clan of righteous Irish Catholics refused invitations from George.

George and William met in
1919, when George maintained a suite at NYC’s Concord Hotel. At the time,
George was a vaudevillian actor and skit writer, as was his brother Walter. The
story goes that William was working as a bellhop at the hotel, and the two became
lovers within a short time after meeting. George educated William in the rules
of etiquette so that the two could appear in high society as social equals.

Proof
of the Right William E. Weagly/Weagley
The Proof this is that I have the right William E. Weagley. Who is confused with William Ellsworth
Weagley Jr. [1891-1975] who was married to Dorothy Mae Shull.
William Eldon Weagley [1896-1975] was the true companion to George
Edward Weagley who was George’s personal valet male
attendant/Secretary , responsible for his
clothes and appearance. Through my research I found three sources:
1.
April 25, 1942 WWII Draft Card’s of George Edward Kelly and
William Eldon Weagley.

False Reporting
Like a say people do
very bad work Here is an example what I was explaining that people are confusing the
two William E. Weagley's
1. William Eldon
Weagley 1896-1975
2. William Ellsworth
Weagley JR. 1891-1975
the 1st one is the
Correct one that had a relationship with George Edward Kelly. Princess
Grace's Brother. Neither men ever married a woman.
the 2nd one was
married to Dorothy Mae Shull. Yet people claim he had a relationship with
George Edward Kelly which is totally not true.
The San Bernardino County Sun May 27, 1972 Sat Page 22 George Kelly and
William Weagly
George Kelly and William
Weagly of Sun City were passengers on board the British Ocean liner Queen
Elisabeth 2 [QE2] during the bomb-hoax
scare which shocked the world last week [unfortunately just one of many
shocks.]
Kelly is a retired playwright
and Weagly is his secretary.
The two Inland Empire
residents were aboard the luxury liner en route to England and then Monte Carlo
Monaco, to Visit George’s niece, Gracie Gramaldi.
Gracie’s father, George’s
brother is the late John Kelly, wealthy Philadelphia, Pa., Contractor.
Gracie is better known as
movies star Grace Kelly or Her Serene Highness the Prince Grace of Monaco
Grimaldi is the princess’ husband’s family name.
And how’s that for backing
into a snob-appeal item...
Special Note: Aboard
Elisabeth 2 [QE2] Not a typical Cruise
to due to bomb-hoax scare.

“In fact,” Mrs. Smith said,”
Uncle George planned to visit her this year after he became settled here. He made his first airplane flight, from
London to Nice, when he last visited her two years ago.”[1972]
Personal life
George Kelly
maintained a 55-year relationship with his lover William Eldon Weagly.,(27
November 1896 - 16 October 1975) the Son of John Adams Weagley and Ella Frances
Weagley. up until his death and was often referred to as his valet. That Kelly
was gay was a closely guarded secret and went unacknowledged by his family to
the point of not inviting Weagley to his funeral; he instead slipped in and sat
quietly on a back seat.[5] Kelly died in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania.
