Mendocino Beacon 30 June 1900, Page 8

Death of Mrs. Henry Wightman

Mrs. Henry Wightman, of Anderson valley, passed to her eternal reward June 22, aged forty -three years, six months and twenty- seven days, after a lingering illness of more than a year.

Her family and friends had supposed that the salubrious climate of Lake county might prove beneficial to her and so had removed her to Middletown in June of last year, where she remained until thirteen days ago, when no hopes were entertained of her recovery. She breathed her last at her old home adjoining the homestead where she, with all her brothers and sisters, was born, surrounded by her family, relatives and friends.

About two months ago her father, the late Jefferson Davis Ball, and other relatives visited her in Lake county and she was then able to partake of and enjoy short daily drives. She never recovered from the shock caused by the death of her son, Herbert B. Wightman, which occurred on June 3, 1899, but since her father's death gradually grew worse to the end.

Mrs. Wightman was a model wife and mother and through life was universally loved by all who knew her. Mr. Wightman, children and relatives have the sincere sympathy of the community in their sad bereavement. The interment took place in the family lot in Greenmound cemetery, W. A. Armstrong and W. E. Miller officiating.

A. Friend.
