Mrs. Wetherill
Succumbs to Apoplectic Stroke
Last Thursday afternoon, while her daughter was down town, Mrs. Wetherill telephoned her
physician to come right over as she had a bad spell. The doctor hastened to her home and
as no one answered his ring admitted himself and found Mrs. Wetherill dead in her chair
about eight feet away from the telephone. An inquest was held and a jury composed of Sam
Todd, Fred Guthrie, and John Conway gave a verdict of death by apoplexy.
Mrs. Wetherill had long been a sufferer and fully realized her hopeless condition. Her
daughter, Mrs. H. Hart of Council Bluffs was sent for and arrived late Thursday night. Mrs.
Wetherill had long been a resident of Carroll and the large circle of friends present at her
funeral Sunday testified to the esteem in which she was held. Rev. Arthur Pratt of the
Episcopal Church conducted the funeral and a choir composed of Mrs. Tainter, Amy Hodge,
C.W. Bruner and William Humphrey assisted. The floral offerings were very beautiful and at
the close of the services a large concourse of friends followed the remains to their last
resting place.
