The Late Mrs. w. w. spooner.

Shortly after midnight on the morning
Of Mar. IL, 1902, following two months
/ confinement to her bed and much intense
suffering, occurred the death OF Sophia
/ Wheeloek, beloved wife of Mills NJ.
/ Spooner. The funeral was held Tuesday,
/ Mar. 18th, at / o'clock and the burial was
! in East Bethel cemetery. The words Of
Job, 1874, ''All the days of my warfare
would wait, till my release should
come, were used as the basis of the funer-
al sermon. II. W. Fowler was in charge
and the music was by quartet Of East
Bethel singers, with Miss Halle Greene,
organist.

lived only until May II, 1878. Her son,
Sylvester Nj. Spooner, born Jan. Is, 1878, to
whom the parental home was decided on
mis- 2lst birthday, is a young farmer with
good start in life and seems quite happy in
the old home, with no hankering for city
life. He was much devoted to his mother |
and during her delicate health Of late |
years left nothing undone for her comfort. |
The death OF Mrs Spooner fell like hard |
DlOW upon the faithful and indulgent /
husband. She was prominently a home /
woman, housewife of unusual ability, |
and with more than ordinary opportunity.
Early in her married life strong religious |
impressions came to her and she became a
member Of the local Baptist church. She
is survived by two brothers. Lemuel
Wheelock Of Tunbridge and Geo. Wheel
Ock OF Barnard. Mrs. Francis Glines is
her sister The entire married life of Mr..
and Mrs. Spooner was spent ON the farm

which was then known as the Elisha
Terry farm, and was sold TO them by the
ate DR.. Terry, administrator of his IA
hers estate. j. WESLEY MILLER.
