• Notes

  Promment Citizen Succumbs To Complications Following Pneumonia Attack Offered Brave Struggle Daughter Of Former Postmaster Here; Funeral To Be Held Sunday Afternoon Fearlessly facing death with a true Christian heart, Ida E. Ruppel, beloved wife of John S. Weichel, prominent Elmira merchant, succumbed to complications following a severe attack of pneumonia two years ago, at her late home, 24 Park Street, this (Thursday) morning about 7 o'clock. News of her death cast a pall of gloom over the community where she had lived all her life and to which she had endeared herself by her fine womanly qualities. Death came peacefully. The heart which once had beaten so strongly in thoughtful consideration of others, fluttered, wavered and finally stopped as the spirit departed. Her passing ended an illness which started about eight years ago with an attack of influenza. She recovered somewhat but never regained her former strength and about two years ago was again forced to her bed by pneumonia. For the past year she had been very ill but about a month ago her condition became acute. Although fighting an unequal battle she bravely struggled, but gradually weakened. Bids Family Farewell Believing that death was near she summoned the members of her family to her bedside on Sunday, and there bade them a fond farewell. Her mind appeared exceptionally active, her facilities unimpaired and her words on this occasion, again revealed the kindliness and thoughtfulness which so inspired her during her active lifetime. She rallied somewhat Sunday, but lapsed into periods of unconsciousness, apparently the result of extreme weakness. At times during the week she rallied and a faint smile or movement of the hand indicated that she recognized those grouped around her bedside. On Wednesday the family gathered close as death again seemed imminent. Throughout the day and night close vigil was kept and early this morning death came. Daughter of Former P.M. The late Mrs. Weichel who was in her 68th year, was the daughter of the late John and Mary Ruppel, the former of whom was postmaster here for many years. About 1890 she became the bride of John S. Weichel. A faithful member of St. Paul's Lutheran church, she formerly was actively identified with the various church organizations and her untimely death will mean a decided loss to the congregation. In addition to her husband she is survived by one daughter, Marie; and four sons, Charles, Oscar, Hilbert and Harry, all of Elmira. One sister, Mrs. (Rev.) J. C. Borth, of Staten Island, N.Y., and six brothers also survive: Oscar, John H., and George, Elmira; Charles, Buffalo; Henry, Tavistock; and Otto, of Hamilton. The funeral will take place on Sunday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, from her late residence to St. Paul's Lutheran church and thence to Elmira Cemetery for interment, with Rev. Messrs. Gallmeier and Rolph, officiating.
