Gladys Louise Wheeler, Sidney Record, December 29, 1917: Such are the adversities of fate. At first it was thought merely the ordinary illness that clouds all of our lives but in a few days the tale was told and that bourne was crossed from whence no traveler ever returns. Such in brief were the closing days of Gladys Louise Wheeler he beloved daughter of Supervisor and Mrs. P. O. Wheeler, a beloved young lady of 21 years. A mound, covered with flowers, in the cemetery at Bainbridege [Chenango Co., NY], where also lie many others of our loved ones, is all now left and precious memory, to tell the tale of a gentle one, truly beloved alike to all. Gladys while studying at the Oneonta Normal was suddenly taken ill about the 10th inst, and returned to her home in Sidney [Delaware Co., NY]. The malady produced complications, her strength rapidly failing. All that human aid could do, availed of naught and Saturday morning, 22nd, inst., she passed peacefully away, her death causing a wave of the deepest sympathy in this community, filling with grief her school companions in Oneonta. Faithful and efficient in her studies Gladys graduated from Sidney High School in 1915; attended two terms of Summer School in Oneonta, attended the Training Class at Unadilla, taught school one year and entered the Oneonta Normal last Sept., intended to graduate in June 1918. She was a member of Alpha Delta of the State Normal School and Delta Gamma Sidney High School. The funeral services on Wednesday, 26th inst., were deeply impressive, the beautiful flowers bearing mute evidence of the love and esteem of all. Rev. O.T. Fletcher officiated at the services. In the immediate family she is survived by her parents, Supervisor and Mrs. Wheeler. One sister, Mortina, one brother, Gordon Robinson, who resides in Detroit, and uncle, Arthur Barnes, of Sidney. The interment was held in the Bainbridge cemetery. To these afflicted ones is extended the deep sympathy of the entire community. Will we miss her, did you ask. How can we forget? Does the sun forget to keep its appointed time or the stars to shine in their orbits. Neither does the image stamped upon our hearts by those we love perish or decay. No, we shall not forget Gladys. She was a noble, true girl and her memory shall ever remain precious to us all.
