(Source: Ross County, OH Marriage Records) =================== The Edgar Sun (Edgar, NE), Friday, November 26, 1915; pg. 1 In Memoriam Mrs. Mary J. Wheeland was born in Chillicothe, Ohio, October 14, 1824 (?), was married to Fredrick Wheeland on June 28 1860, died in our city on November 20, 1915. "Smooth the locks of silver hair, On our mother's brow with tenderest care, Gather the robe in final fold, Around the form so still and cold; Lay on her bosom, pure as snow, The fairest, sweetest flowers that grow, Kiss her and leave her our hearts delight; Her pain is over, she sleeps tonight." She died at seven o'clock a.m. just with the awakening life of a new day she went to sleep like a tired child. It was just as the birds caroled the coming of the morning, and just as the rosy fingers of the orb of day tinted the eastern sky with a sheen of glory. Surely a most fitting time for a pure spirit to take its flight heavenward. With the eye of faith one could see at the dawn of this memorable November day an invisible hand wave a signal, and a voice in softest accents on the morning breeze, announce that the gates were open and that God's angels were waiting to escort her in. After a long, busy and useful life she has lived-honored, trusted, and loved. She reared her own monument while she lived in the hearts of all who knew her. Her life was completed if work all done and well done constitutes completion. Her Christian life was beautiful from its beginning to its close, and through all the vicissitudes and sorrows that she met in the way, her faith in God never wavered. But she has left us and today the autumn leaves fall upon another grave that hides from our sight all that is mortal of a true and noble woman. Our little city and its hospitable people ever held a warm corner in her heart. It was here the best days of her life were spent and when her last hour came and the God of eternity called her to her everlasting rest, it was her desire that beneath the shady trees of our Silent City surrounded by the beauty, happiness and contentment of our people. Where the flowers are sweetest and the birds warble their most melodious songs, shall be the eternal abiding place all that was mortal of her. Not Dead "When I am gone don't view my clay and think that I am dead; For what you see will not be me, But only what I've shed." The funeral occurred from the house Tuesday afternoon. Rev. J.C. Christie officiating. The deceased was a mother of 17 children, 12 of whom are still living. She leaves to mourn her death John, Williams, Luther, Todd Wheeland, Mrs. Wm. Strawser, Mrs. Henry Graham of Edgar, Geo. and Fred Wheeland of Oberlin, Kansas, Mrs. Geo. Elgin of Yuma, Colorado, Mrs. Fenstermaker of Davenport, Nebraska, Misses Della and Effie Wheeland of Lincoln, Nebr. And Mrs. Williams of Lyons, Nebraska. Contributor: Rhonda Williams
