Crawfordsville Weekly Journal, 6 June 1891
Death of Mrs. C. E. Gilbert.
One of the saddest deaths that has shocked the community for years occurred Monday afternoon when Mrs. C. E. Gilbert passed away. She had been ill for the past two weeks with puerperal fever and complications. Up to noon that day she had been improving for two days and hopes for her recovery were high. But at noon she began to sink rapidly and the doctors gave up. Shortly after 4 o'clock she died. Mrs. Josephine Fullenwider Gilbert was in her twenty-first year and had spent the last ten years of her life in Crawfordsville. About four years ago she united with the Methodist church and has always been an earnest but modest member. On October 17, 1889 she was married to Charles E. Gilbert, who survives her together with a two weeks old baby. The baby is in excellent health.
The wide spread regard for the late Mrs. Josie Gilbert was shown by the large number of friends present at the funeral Wednesday. The services were short, very simple and therefore all the more impressive. A quartette composed of Misses Nellie Nicholson and Margaret Morgan, A. A. McCain and Henry Little sung "Asleep in Jesus." Rev. G. W. Switzer read from the Bible and offered a prayer. Another song, '"Some Sweet Day," was sung, followed by an address
