We chronicle with the deepest regret the death of Mrs. Mamie Wilhoit, which occurred at 8:30 o’clock Sunday evening at the residence of Mrs. Josephine Crawford in this city. The deceased was born in Crawfordsville, Indiana, September 23, 1858, where she resided until her marriage with R. G. Wilhoit, of Kansas, which occurred about ten years ago. She has been ill for eighteen months with a throat trouble resulting from an attack of lagrippe. A little over five weeks hence, her lungs became infected and hasty consumption speedily terminated her suffering.
She leaves a husband and two children, a boy and a girl, aged respectively eight and six years, to mourn the loss of a loyal and devoted wife and mother. She also leaves three brothers living, Chas. E. and Issac M. Davis of Crawfordsville, Ind., who were with her at the time of her death, and Joseph A. Davis, of Charleston.
Mrs. Wilhoit came to this city a little over a month ago from Kansas for treatment, but medical skill could not combat the ravages of consumption and she sank with startling rapidity. Mrs. Wilhoit was, in all that the word implies, a thoroughly estimable lady. She was a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church of Kansas, and as long as health permitted her, she faithfully discharged all the obligations incident to that relationship.
The remains will be taken to Kansas at 10:50 a.m. and funeral services will be conducted at the Presbyterian Church in that city at 12 o’clock, Rev. J. W. Frazier officiating.—Paris, Ill. Beacon
