Source: The Edgewood Journal, Thursday, September 21, 1916, pg. 1 AN EARLY SETTLER DIED LAST WEEK Mrs. Miranda Blanchard Passed To Her Reward Thursday, September 14, After Lingering Illness. Laura Miranda Wheeler was born in Farmersville, Cattaraugus County, N.Y., April 29th, 1843. She passed from this life on the 14th day of September, 1916, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. R.J. Bixby, in Edgewood, Iowa. She had lived 73 years, 4 months and 16 days. In the spring of 1845, when only two years of age she, with her parents, George L. and Sally (Boggs) Wheeler, removed to the Territory of Iowa and settled at Yankee Settlement, now known as Edgewood. Her father was the first post master at Yankee Settlement; was the first person to enter land from the government in Lodomillo township and also later built the first frame house in the township. Thus the earliest memories of the departed were of a pioneer home. The subject of this sketch was the oldest of ten children. She is survived by two brothers, John L. Wheeler of Delhi, Iowa and Rufus C. Wheeler of Edgewood and one sister, Mrs. Sarah M. Comstock of Littleton, Colorado. Her education was obtained by attending district and select school and the school at Earlville, Iowa. She was a diligent student and became well qualified as a teacher, receiving her first certificate for that profession from J.L. McCreary, then Superintendent of Schools for Delaware County and residing at Delhi; later renowned through all the land as the author of the poem entitled "There is No Death." She taught successfully for several years. On the 13th day of July, 1866, the departed was united in marriage with Dr. Lewis Blanchard of Centerville, N.Y. Soon after they established a home at this place where she has since resided. Her husband preceded her to the higher life, by a little over three years. Becoming a christian in early life she united with the Baptist church at Strawberry Point, Iowa. Later she transferred her membership to the Free Baptist church at Edgewood and later still became a member of the Congregational church of this place of which she continued a worthy member until the close of her life. She was unassuming and conscientious and faithfully followed her ideals. For more than forty years she was primary teacher in the Sunday School and children and later grand chidren of her former pupiils received the benefit of her instruction. Her interest in the Sunday School continued until the last and the preparation of the lesson was never neglected. In the reading all references and general thoroughness, she set an example by which all might profit. Faithful in attendance at all church services as long as her health permitted, she will be greatly missed by those with whom she has been associated, and her influence will continue although her presence has vanished. The funeral services were held at the Bixby home in this city Saturdady morning at 10:30, conducted by Rev. C.H. True, assisted by the local pastor, Mrs. Smith. The remains were laid to rest in the family lot in the beautiful Edgewood cemetery, a large concourse of sorrowing relatives, friends and neighbors assembling to pay their last sad respects to one they had loved and highly respected for so many years. The sympathy of the entire community is extended the bereaved family in their dark hour of sorrow. Contributor: jmb
