The original source, and exact date of the notice is not recorded. The obituary reads as follows:
A SUDDEN DEATH:
Our village people were shocked Wed. at the report that Mrs. L.M. WHEELOCK was dead. Death came as a flash. Only 3 minutes previous she had conversed with her brother, D.S. CHURCHILL, and then lay down in a hammock, feeling as well as usual. In an instant her heart ceased to beat and all was over. Heart -disease was the cause. Since the death of her husband a little more than a year ago, she has lived with her aged mother at their home on Forest Street in this village. ADELAIDE CHURCHILL WHEELOCK was born in Springville 48 yrs. ago, and for many years resided in this village. Neighbors and friends are heart-sick at the very sudden and untimely death of such an esteemed lady. The funeral will take place this Fri. afternoon at 2 p.m. at the home of the deceased's brother, D.S. CHURCHILL, on Delevan Street (her own home undergoing repairs), and REV. SCOVIL of the Baptist Church will officiate.. Interment will be on the family lot in Mapledale.
Ellen Militia Wales was from South Bellingham, MA.
