Mrs. E. P. Wiley Dead
After a very painful illness of three weeks duration Mrs. E. P. Wiley of Curlew
died at her home on Saturday evening at 6:30 o'clock. The funeral services were
held at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon and the body laid to rest in the cemetery
west of town.
Mabel Easton was born in Brockville [sic], New York, on January 30, 1878. The
following year she came with her parents to Rolfe, Iowa, and a year later they
moved to Curlew where she grew to young womanhood. She taught school for several
years. On September 26, 1898, she was united in marriage to Mr. E. P. Wiley of
Curlew and they moved to Missouri and remained for four years. When they return
to Curlew three years ago Mr. Wiley entered the employment of the Teiderman
Elevator Co., which position he still holds.
Mrs. Wiley leaves three little daughters, which are six years, four years and
two years old respectively. Besides these children, her husband, mother, four
sisters and four brothers survive her and to them we extend sincere sympathy.
Their loss is a great one, for Mrs. Wiley was a beautiful and loving mother, a
true and faithful wife, and a kind and devoted daughter and sister.
