    Mrs. Wilhelm

    The funeral of Mrs. Wilhelm, widow of the late John Wilhelm, senior, occurred at the Miss. Lutheran cemetery here on Tuesday. The old lady was 75 years of age and was held in the very highest respect as a neighbor and a mother by all who knew her. She spent most of her married life in Wellesley village and all her family was raised here. For several years past she has been living with her children in Wiarton and other places, this winter living here with her daughter, Mrs. Keyes. Several weeks ago she went to Detroit to the home of another daughter, Mrs. Bolander, whose husband is quite ill. She was in her usual health until Saturday last when she complained of being very tired, when she lay down to rest and sleep, and the following day she passed quietly away while peacefully sleeping. Her son, Mr. John Wilhelm, and his son Charles, of Collingwood; Mr. Henry Correll and his son Arthur, of Wiarton; Mr. and Mrs. Keyes, of Brantford; Miss Bolander, and Mr. Henry Ziegler, of Waterloo, were among the relatives from a distance who followed the remains here for interment on Tuesday.
