MRs ELIZA EAIRCHILD WHEELER.
In the death of Mrs Eliza Fairchild
Wheeler, widow of the late Willis
Wheeler, who passed away at her
home on Wednesday, September 5, at
the advanced age of l0l years and q
days, our town loses it's second oldest
person, Mrs Deborah Silliman, who
last February celebrated her 106th
birthday anniversary being the Oldest
person and who is yet in fair health.
Mrs Wheeler was taken i'll on her
lO1st birthday anniversary, August Is,
1906, and was not able to rally from
the illness which caused her death.
She had always been hard working
woman and up to the time she was
taken i'll had looked after the house
for herself and son, Stephen, with
whom she lived. All her faculties
were remarkably we'll preserved up to
the last and it was interesting to stop
at her home and talk with her, as she
could tell many interesting facts Of
remember where in what is now the
prosperous city of Bridgeport there
were only very few houses and two
or three stores. She was born in the
town of Redding on August Is, 1905,
and was daughter Of Isaac and Rach-
ell Banks Fafrchild of that place.
When young she moved to New York
State, where she resided until about
Is years of age, when she returned to
Easton and on October 3, 1927, she
was married to Willis Wheeler, who
died several years ago. After their
marriage they came to live in her
present home, where she has since re-
sided. The funeral, which was pri-
vate one, was held from her late home
on Friday afternoon, Rev Irving
Maurer officiating, only the immediate
family attending. Mrs Wheeler is
survived by three sons, F. r. Wheeler,
and Stephen D. Wheeler of Easton:
and Prof A. M. Wheeler of Yale COL
lege. Two sons, James A. Wheeler
and Reuben H. Wheeler, and one
daughter, Harriett E. Wheeler, are
deceased. Mrs Wheeler has had
long and useful life and was held in
high esteem by all who knew her. Be-
sides her own family she leaves large
circle OF friends to mourn her loss.

night.
Young Phillips had been into town
with vegetables for the market and
the man who attempted to rob the

much money.
Just after leaving the town limits
young Phillips says white man
came up and attempted to stop his
mule bv grabbing hold of the reins.
The youth, who is Il brave boy, slash.
ed the intruder with his whip and.
things becoming IL little too warm for
the highwayman, the latter dropped
his mold OIL the reins. Jumping into
the rear of the wagon the man again
attempted to reach Phillips. BY this
time the boy had perfect control of
hlmself and the manner i'm which he
belabored the hold-up man over the
head with the whip is best indicated
by the manner in which the man tool,

the man." said the youngstcr. rclat

the loaded end of the whip. Had he
continued following me much longer

whip"
