Mary Whitney Passes Away
Mary Magdalene, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Elmer E. Whitney of this
village, was called to the realms
above at 3 o'clock on Saturday after
noon, June 17, following an illness of
about two months duration. The
cause of death was spinal meningitis
super induced by tuberculosis and,
notwithstanding every effort was made
to effect a cure, the disease baffled the
endeavors of the best medical skill.
On Friday evening Dr. Walsh of St.
Paul, one of the renowned medical
specialists of the northwest, was called
to see the patient, and he found that
Dr. Caley, the local physician in
charge of the case, had pursued the
only known course by which it was
possible to save the patient's life. A
very small percentage of persons
suffering from this disease, says Dr.
Walsh, survive.
On Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock
funeral services were conducted at the
family residence by Rev. I. N. Goodell
of the Methodist church and three very
pretty selections were sung by a quartet consisting of Mrs. C. A. Caley, Mrs. Briggs,
Guy Ewing and Claude Briggs. Many beautiful
floral offerings among them wreaths
from the K. O. T. M. and the boys at
the power plant were received the
casket was literally embedded in fair
blossoms. The procession which followed
the remains of this beloved young lady
to their last resting place in Oak Knoll
cemetery was a long one, signifying
the high esteem in which she and her
parents are held in the community. The
active pallbearers were Johnnie Schmidt,
Stillman Oakes, Oliver Ross, David
Umbehocker, Henry Milbraith and Ernest
Nelson; all classmates of Mary in the
high school. There were also six honorary pallbearers, members of the Wide-Awake
club, to which organization she belonged.
They were Misses Grace Moody,
Carroll Howard, Sadie Penhallegon,
Pearl Moore, Allie Saxon and
Blanche Lanery.
Mary M. Whitney was born in Princeton
on April 14, 1896, and attended the
high school of this village until
compelled to give up her studies
in consequence of sickness. She is
survived by her father and mother,
three brothers and three sisters; Mrs.
F. R. Burrell, Onamia, Charles,
Jennie, Ralph, Bennie and Madge.
Mary Whitney was a girl of very
studious inclination who always stood
high in her class. She was of a
good-natured disposition who endeared
herself to all her classmates and
others with whom she was acquainted.
During her illness she at times
suffered intensely, but her hopeful
young heart never permitted her to
complain, she bore her affliction
with courage. That she was removed
from those who loved her, and whom
she loved, in the bloom of her youth
is to be much regretted the blow is
a hard one for her parents, brothers
and sisters to bear. But God in His
wisdom knoweth that which is best,
and the bereaved family should find
consolation in the knowledge that her
suffering is o'er that she is now in a
realm where trouble abideth not.
The relatives from out of town who
attended the funeral were Mr. and
Mrs. F. R. Burrell of Onamia and
Mrs. O. J. McCarriel of Minneapolis.
