Obituary

Mrs Lucy Wheeler, wife of Frank E Wheeler from Plevna, Montana, died at the home of Mrs Augusta Braley, in Terry last Saturday morning, after suffering three weeks from blood poisoning.

Dr Shaw of Terry was called and had the lady brought to Terry, where he did all in his power to stop the spread of the disease.

The body was prepared by the Stith undertaking for burial soon after her death and the remains were shipped to Plevna Saturday afternoon on # 18, where the funeral and interment took place Sunday.
She leaves a husband and three children to mourn her death; all of whom were at her bedside when she died.
