Obituaries clippings from an unknown newspaper which my grandmother had:

DEATH OF TURNER WAKELAND

Turner R. Wakeland, son of P. D. Wakeland of this place, and who was a resident of this county until last spring, died at Martinsville, Indiana, Mon day, August 1st. Mr. Wakeland had been a sufferer from rheumatism and chronic troubles for several years, and went to the mineral springs at the above mentioned place last spring, hoping to gain relief. At first the treatment appeared to benefit him, and his friends were hoping for his recovery, but of late he has been gradually growing worse. Last Saturday his father was telegraphed for and Mr. Wakeland left here Monday morning, his son John following on Tuesday. They arrived too late too see him alive, but in time for the funeral. Turner Wakeland was a man of ability and energy, a friend to all, and most respected by those who knew him best. He leaves a wife and one child who will probably remain in Indiana.

 

Obituary.

Turner R. Wakeland died Monday evening at his temporary home on W. Pike street, after a several years' illness with spinal trouble. The funeral will occur at Mt. Olive Thursday and burial will take place in the Retts cemetery. Mr. Wakeland was the son of Presly[sic] Wakeland, formerly of the west part of this county, but now of Nebraska. The father gave the name to the small village bearing his name in the west part of the county. Until two years ago the deceased lived in Nebraska, but then came to this place to regain his health by means of our mineral water. He was about 30 years old and leaves a widow and small child to mourn his death. The widow is the daughter of H. D. Fowler, a resident of the west part of the county.
