"Mary Crosier Metcalf, the wife of General Wilder S. Metcalf, died at the home here last evening at five o'clock.... In girlhood Mrs. Metcalf was an accomplished musician and sang much in public in her own and joining counties. After her marriage she put to one side her talent for music and devoted all her varied powers to making a home. She had excellent taste and judgment and as a housekeeper she was unexcelled. She delighted in entertaining her own or her husband's friends. She had a keen sense of humor and had a world of friends who loved and appreciated her. Fatally stricken with paralysis six months ago she has been uniformly pleasant, kindly and cheerful during her long illness. Conscious to the last, she smiled brightly at those near her within a few minutes of the end. General Metcalf has the sympathy of the entire community in the loss of his wife."
