Wheeler,
Fred -- FOUND DEAD ON
STREETS OF PLYMOUTH -- Fred Wheeler, a farm hand, Meets a Violent Death,
Probably from Accident -- PLYMOUTH, Oct. 21
-- The unconscious form of Fred Wheeler, a farm hand, about 45 years of age, was
found on Plymouth street about two blocks south of the public square, Sunday
morning about 7:00. He was a horrible
sight when first seen. The right ear was partially torn away and a bad
gash cut on the temple and his head was lying in a pool of blood over a foot in
diameter. Dr. Garber, who lives near by, was called and made a hasty
examination of the body and pronounced him in a critical condition.
Marshal Conklin was notified and he was conveyed to the home of his sister, Mrs.
Hiram Willett, south of town. Everything possible was done to revive him,
but at 6:00 Sunday evening he passed away, never regaining consciousness. He was seen early
Saturday evening under the influence of liquor and was advised by several
parties to go home, but it seems he died not do so. Sometime after
midnight considerable talking was engaged in by a number of persons where the
body was found and one person was heard to tell another to get up, you
------------ -----------, then as though he could not or would not do so, the
other party exclaimed: "Well, lay there and died -----." Whether he was
intoxicated and fell from a buggy and met his death that way, or whether the
poor fellow wandered up that way and was knocked down by a team and run over, is
not known. His injuries were evidently caused by a horse's foot striking
him on the right temple and fracturing his skull. The authorities are
trying to find out who was with him, but are unable to locate anyone as yet. Coroner Bushnell
was informed and came up Sunday evening and viewed the remains and agreed with
Dr. Garber that the death was purely accidental. Mr. Wheeler came of
a large family of children, only one of whom lives here, another sister living
some place in the west, is here also. The funeral will probably be held
Tuesday from the home of his sister, Mrs. Hiram Willett. Coroner Bushnell
stated to the NEWS this afternoon that he had not yet made his report on the
cause of the death and would not do so until two men, who it is learned were in
the vicinity at the time, have been examined. The marshal of Plymouth will
visit them this afternoon to learn what they know of the affair. The coroner thinks
it probable that Wheeler was intoxicated and fell out of a buggy or was struck
by a horse which ran over him, or that he lay down in the road and was run over
by men who were racing their horses. It is possible, however, the coroner
thinks that Wheeler may have been assaulted first and left lying in the road
where he was run over by a team, the injuries on his head being such as would be
made by the shoe of a horse. The matter will be
thoroughly investigated. [Mansfield News: 20 October 1901, Vol. 17,

Whisler, Ida -- On Tuesday afternoon Feb. 22nd.,
when the gates of heaven were opened, Mrs. Ida Wheeler, who was awaiting,
stepped quietly in greeted by angels who had preceded her. Patiently she
had borne her affliction and through her pain she smiled to cheer her anxious
husband, and quiet the fears of her darling children. She was the daughter
of Mr. Conrad and Mrs. Susie Rinehart and was 29 years and 2 months old.
In girlhood she united with the M.E. church of which she remained an active consistent
member to her death. For the eight years of her married life she fulfilled
most faithfully the duties of a wife and mother. It was a sweet solace to
her in her last days that she was cherished by so many sympathizing
hearts. The ministration of those about her bedside were received with a
smile and with appreciative thanks. Though she desired to live for the
sake of her family she did not complain but sweetly submitted to the will of
God. Her going gives an attraction to Heaven for those who mourn her loss,
such as it never had before. As we contemplate this death in its
circumstances is it not an impressive testimony that trust in Christ is the
religion to die by? What peace, what hope, what victory it gives the
departed. Those silent lips appeal to us to put away all human
philosophies, and trust above in him who says "whosoever liveth and
believeth in me shall never die" He is the good shepherd an whosoever
followeth him to him the porter openeth the gate. The funeral services
were conducted at the St. John church by the Rev. Richards and the remains were
interred in the St. John Cemetery. -- [Bellville

Whisler, Jacob -- On Monday morning, August 13th., 1883, on
his farm in Franklin Twp., Richland County, JACOB WHISLER, departed this
life. Mr. Whisler was born in Berks County, Pennsylvania on the 3d. day
of March, 1801, so that he had lived beyond eighty-two years. In his
early years he learned the trade of a wagon maker and followed that
business, and accumulated a few thousand dollars he came to Ohio and
settled in this count, and here he has lived for years. Mr. Whisler was
an excellent farmer, hard worker and good manager, and added to his
original purchase until his farm numbered about 400 acres. He was
thrifty, and his barns, and beautiful farm, to the left of the Old State
Road running north from Mansfield have for years afforded a delight to
all. As he could spare he purchased very considerable land in the
Western country of Ohio, and gave to each of his five sons 350 acres of
land, and to each of his four daughters 160 acres of land, while largely
assisting them by advancements of money as they established homes for
themselves. One by one all left the paternal home, and Mr. Whisler with
his good wife were left alone. The wife and mother died, and his
involved the necessity of one of the children returning to the home
farm. After the death of his wife, Mr. Whisler began to set his house in
order for his departure to the better country, and retaining a small
farm of some 90 acres, sold the remainder of his lands, stock, farming
utensils, and other personal property. For some months back he has been
failing and as we before announced on Monday morning last his career
ended. For many, many years he was a member of the Dunkard Church, and
occasionally expounded the scriptures in their congregation. On Tuesday
his remains were laid away in the family burying ground on the old farm.

White, Ebenezer -- One by one they are
"gathered to the fathers". The past week chronicled the death of
an esteemed citizen, Mr. Ebenezer White, a resident of this place for
forty-three years. He was born near Roxbury, Franklin Co., Pa., Aug. 4,
1808, and at his death, last Friday, was 76 years, 3 months and 24 days
old. Mr. J.P. Widney, of Bellville, was born and reared in the same
vicinity and was always in intimate friend of the deceased. Mr. White was
a miller from the time he was a young man. He came to Knox County in 1837,
and secured a position in a mill between Mt. Vernon and Fredericktown, known
then as Turner's Mill. Returning to Pa. in 1840, he came to Bellville in
1841, where he made his home until his death. He superintended the mill
then owned by Mr. Strong, now in possession of Dr. Whitcomb, which position he
filled for twenty-five years. He married Miss Permelia Heath, of this
place, May 30, 1814, who preceded him to the eternal world, dying Oct. 27, 1882,
after wedded life of thirty-eight years. Mr. White was a quiet,
conscientious man and during the nine weeks of his last illness was a resigned
sufferer. He was buried from his late home on Bell Street, Sabbath
afternoon, a large number of citizens being present, showing that a good citizen
was gone, and manifesting their sympathy to the two bereaved daughters, Misses
Libbie and Rosa White. Dr. Edwards and wife (a sister of Mrs. White) and
Mrs. Rinehart, of Fredericktown, were at the funeral. Appropriate remarks
were made by Rev. B.O. Squier and W.W. Anderson, a choir rendering the music,
and all that was mortal of our friend and neighbor was laid to rest in the
Bellville Cemetery. A vacant place is in the home, but a cherished memory
dear. -- [Bellville Star: 04 December 1884,

White, Margaret (Riggle) -- Margaret
Riggle was born in Washington Co., Penn., March 9th., 1825. Was
married to John Wesley White, March 5th., 1848. Two years after the
marriage they moved to Richland Co., Ohio and settled at Lexington
where they lived until 1853, when they moved to Bellville, where they
lived until death moved them to another country. In Aug., 1865, Mrs.
White was left a widow with three small children dependent upon her.
To them four children were born, one a little boy being dead at the
time of the father's death. The three children left the widowed mother
still alive. About thirty years ago, Mrs. White and husband, united
with the M.E. church of this place on probation. The church records do
not state that she was ever taken into full membership. Some of the
older members of the class think that she was. The deceased was a
severe sufferer for most thirty years. The twenty-two years of this
time preceding her death she was quite a cripple so confined that for
fifteen years was not known to be down street. Her sufferings were
borne with much patience and a thoughtfulness for those about her ever
trying to hide from them her pain and misery. She was a kind mother
and a good mother and must have had something of Christian fortitude
to have born so many years of suffering without murmuring. Slowly but
surely the disease worked away and on May 30th. found the seat of life
in triumph and suddenly Mrs. White was dead. --

White,
Permelia E. (Heath) -- Mrs. Permelia E. White, wife of Ebenezer White,
after a protracted illness, passed away on the morning of Friday, Oct.
27th. Her maiden name was Miss Heath. She was born in New York,
May 2, 1819, and came to Bellville in 1832, married Mr. E. White, May 30,
1844. She leaves two daughters, her only children, to comfort their
father during the rest of his earthly journey. Mrs. White was one of a
family of eight, two brothers and six sisters, ranging from fifty-three to
seventy years of age, and she is the first one called to pass over the
river. They had a reunion at the home of Mr. White in our town, in 1876
which proved to be their last earthly meeting. All but two were at the
funeral on Saturday last. Those present were Mr. W.H. Heath, of Mason
City, Ill., Mrs. Geddes, Goshen, Ind., Mrs. Steinmets, Mt. Vernon, O., Mrs.
Dr. Edwards, Fredericktown, and Mrs. Campbell, of this place. Mr. Heath,
of Iowa City, and Mrs. W. Gray, of Vincent, Kansas, were absent. The
brotherly and sisterly bond strengthened through all these years is now
broken, but only in name, for she is still cherished in memory. Mrs.
White was a member of the M.E. church of Bellville for a number of
years. In her home and among her intimate friends she exerted a genial
influence. Her mind was active not only enjoying the thoughts of others
by the pen and the press. She bore her sickness with resignation, and
left her soul and her dear friends to a loving Father and a gracious Savior.
Perhaps not one family among a thousand can furnish such an unbroken circle of
brothers and sisters for so many years. For fifty years a resident of
our village, from girlhood to youth, then to womanhood, and to the verge of
that pleasant valley of contented age, she is now where time and tears are no
more. May the next reunion be on that happy shore. <scripture

-- ANN WHITING, CITY'S OLDEST RESIDENT DIES -- Death Claims
97-Year-Old --
Mansfield Woman; Funeral Rites Are Set For Monday Afternoon. By JANE
WILLIAMS. Thousands of miles away from the green fields of
Cornwall and the old rambling English farm house where her girlhood
had been spent, Mrs. Ann Whiting, Mansfield's oldest resident, died
last night at her home, 124 East Second street. She would have been 98
years old, had she lived until April. Mrs. Whiting had been in
excellent health until July, 1929, when she sustained a broken hip as
the result of a fall, and since then she has walked but little. In
October of this year her only son, John Whiting, of Clyde, O., died,
and her decline has been steady since then. She was born April
14, 1835, in Pendrift, Cornwall, England, on land that had been in her
family for hundreds of years. In 1870, she, with
her husband, John Whiting, and three children came to America and two
years later the family moved to Mansfield where Mr. Whiting was hired
to do ironsmith work on the Richland county courthouse which was then
under construction. Of her 60 years in Mansfield, 39 of them had
been spent in the old Whiting home, 265 North Mulberry street. She had
lived in but eight houses in almost a hundred years. On her last
birthday, the diminutive English woman told a Journal writer that the
"first hundred years are the most interesting," and recalled
many colorful incidents from a well rounded life. All of Mrs.
Whiting's immediate survivors are in America, there remaining only
several nieces and nephews in England. Besides her daughter,
Mrs. August Remy, with whom she had made her home for many years, she
is survived by another daughter, Mrs. Walter Booth of Lima, five
grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Lee Remy, city detective,
Ney Remy and Mrs. Jacob Peffer of this city are
grandchildren. She had been a member of the First Methodist
church of Mansfield for 50 years. Funeral services will be held
at Mrs. Whiting's home on East Second street, Monday afternoon at 2 o'
clock, with her pastor, Rev. S.B. Salmon conducting. Burial, which is
in charge of the John S. Jones
company, will be made in Mansfield cemetery. Submitted by
