Obituary -- (Findagrave.com):

Edward Emmerson Wiley was born at Emory, Virginia, August 7, 1874. His father was elected President of Martha Washington College in 1881 and resided at Abingdon until 1886, when he returned to Emory. The tradition is that "Ned " was the only boy who was a student at Martha Washington. He entered the preparatory school at Emory in 1887. He graduated from Emory and Henry College in 1893 and took his A. B. Degree. Emory and Henry conferred the degree of D.D. in 1913. He took the L.L.B. degree from the University of Virginia, where he studied under Dr. John B. Minor. He practiced law at Jonesboro, Tennessee. In that quiet town the call to preach came. Before reaching a conclusion in the matter, which he regarded as the major decision of his life, he went to Emory to take counsel with his mother. Here he had been received into the church: and here, with his mother, he dedicated his life to the ministry. He was licensed to preach at Jonesboro; and was received on trial in Holston Conference October 12, 1901. He was received into full connection and ordained deacon October 9, 1903; and was ordained elder October 11, 1906.

His first appointment was Harriman, where he remained four years. This was followed by four years at Highland Park. Then followed Tazewell, Virginia; Bland Street, Bluefield; Bluefield District; Centenary, Chattanooga; Morristown; Knoxville District; Morristown District; Abingdon District; Trinity, Bluefield, where he remained for nine years. Dr. Wiley was eminently acceptable as pastor and administrator in every place to which he was assigned. He had profited by the years in college, where he also had the privilege of sitting under the preaching of his distinguished father. What Bishop Hoss said of his father may be said of the son: "He had in him many elements of power. No man ever surpassed him in clearness of statement, almost entirely free from ambition, he seemed to care but little for his own promotion. In his best estate he possessed also great vigor of thought and utterance."

The clearness and originality of expression of the son is found in some of the memoirs of deceased members of the Holston Conference. I have vivid recollection of hearing him read the memoir of Rev. James O. Straley who had died in 1913. As was the custom of that time, the memoir was read by Bro. Wiley, who knew intimately the struggles through which the departed brother had achieved success.

Bishop Denny, who presided in the Conference, was present, as was also Bishop Hoss, who came to be in the service. They sat a little distance apart near the front. I chanced to be seated where I could see both as the memoir was read. Both had known Doctor Wiley. Sr. The young man read the memoir with moving effect. When he had finished, I saw the two Bishops turn their eyes to meet in silent appraisal of the memoir. Their eyes were saying: "He is the son of his father. That memoir is a model of religious memoirs.

Our brother also wrote a memoir of Dr. R. N. Price, who died in 1923. If our younger men desire to know Dr. Price, they will do well to read this memoir which was written by Dr. E. E. Wiley.

Again, in 1949, Dr. Wiley wrote a memoir of Rev. Frank Y. Jackson, which is so replete with kindly sentiment and brotherly appreciation as to merit a place of remembrance so long as life shall last.

Dr. Wiley married Mrs. Lucie Osment Speer at Chattanooga, December 8. 1908. They were blessed with two children, Rev. E. E. Wiley, Kingsport, Tennessee and F. A. Wiley, California.

No nobler man of God has lived among us. No more effective minister and pastor has shared with us in the labors and joys of our Holy Calling.

When the Methodist Churches were united Dr. Wiley was living in West Virginia and the Bluefield District was in the territory which became a part of the West Virginia Conference. He remained in that conference. He is survived by his devoted wife and both of his children.

Upon his retirement in 1947 he came, with his family, to Knoxville and established his home near Magnolia Avenue Church and blessed us with the quiet graciousness of his life.

His strength had failed, but not the gentle confidence of his faith. He fell asleep on April 21 at his home in Knoxville. Beautiful and comforting services were held at Magnolia Avenue Church by Drs. James S. Wilder, W. F. Blackard, Marvin S. Kincheloe, Walter A. Smith and I. P. Martin. He was buried in Lynnhurst Cemetery.

A cablegram received today by Dr Waller Jamison brought news of the death on December 22nd, in Brazil, South America, of Dr Garland S Wiley, formerly a popular young physician of Roanoke. Dr Wiley died of nephritis, or kidney trouble. He was thirty-one years old. The body will be brought to Virginia for burial, but whether they will be interred here or at his birthplace, in Washington county, will be determined later.

Dr Wiley was educated at Emory and Henry College, of which his father, now dead, was at one time president. He was also a graduate of the medical department of the University of Virginia. On receiving his degree he located at Tom's Creek, Va, being connected with the Virginia Coal and Coke Company. In 1908 he came to Roanoke and was exceedingly popular here in business and social circles, winning many warm friends, to whom the news of his death will come as a distinct shock.

October 1, 1910 he left Roanoke, going to South America as a physician for the Madero and Mamosa Railway, being stationed at Porte Valieo, Brazil. A cablegram has been sent directing that the body be brought to America.

Dr Wiley was a member of the Masons and the Shriners. He was also a member of the Roanoke Aerie of Eagles. He belonged to the Shenandoah Club, the Roanoke German Club, the Alleghany Club and the Country Club. - Roanoke Times, Dec 28th.

Dr Wiley was a brother of Rev E E Wiley, of this town, pastor of the Methodist church. Mr Wiley was called to Roanoke several days ago by Dr Phillips, who was partner with Dr Wiley, in the practice of medicine in Roanoke, on business connected with this partnership. From Roanoke Mr Wiley will go to Greenville, Tennessee, to visit his aged mother. No arrangements have been made as yet, so far as can be learned, for bringing the body of Dr Wiley here for burial, and the opinion is expressed that the body, which has been interred in Brazil, will remain there.

He was buried in December 1911 in Cemiterio Canelaria, Manaus, Município de Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil, Findagrave #219969420.

Lucie Osment was born on 15 March 1867 in Cleveland, Bradley Co., TN; daughter of Dr. Joseph S. and Mary Louise (Grant) Osment.

"Lizzie" Reeves, on 8 December 1908 in Chattanooga, Hamilton Co., TN; Lucie was first married to Dr. M. W. Speer, a physician in Chattanooga.

Obituary -- (Findagrave.com):

Lucie Osment Wiley, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. J. S. Osment, was born in Cleveland, Tenn., March 15, 1867. She died December 28, 1965, In Fountain View Nursing Home, Knoxville, after a lingering illness.

The early part of her life was spent in Chattanooga, Tenn., where she met and married her first husband, Dr. M. W. Speer, a physician.

Her second husband, Dr. R. E. Wiley, Sr., was an active Methodist minister for approximately 46 years. Much of that time was spent in Holston Conference, serving four districts and prominent pastorates. He closed his ministry at Trinity Church, Bluefield. W. Va., and moved to Knoxville, Tenn., where they were members of Magnolia Avenue Church. He died in April 1956.

Mrs. E. E. Wiley was of proud and regal bearing, full of grace and graciousness, and of confident faith. Her spiritual perception and her deep and abiding loyalties, and genuine Christian love leave to her family and friends a priceless heritage. The writer of this memoir came to know Mrs. Wiley as a neighbor for six years, and friend over more than twenty years of her near century of triumphant life. Her apparent aloofness, motivated by a hearing limitation, was not true for those who knew, understood, and loved Mrs. Wiley. She was a woman of unusual ability and consecration.

One daughter, Lillian Speer Vasey, preceded her in death. She is survived by two sons, E. E. Wiley. Jr., pastor of State Street Church, Bristol. Va., and Dr. F. A. Wiley of California: and a daughter, Mrs. Paul S. (Louise) Kelley, Knoxville.

Services were conducted at McCarty's Funeral Home by Dr. E. A. Eldridge and the Rev. S. M. Luttrell, pastor of Magnolia Avenue Church. In tribute to a long life nobly lived. Dr. Eldredge used the scripture selection Romans 8:31.

Interment was in Lynnhurst-Resthaven Cemetery, Knoxville, Tennessee.
