Died: In this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY], on Sunday, July 5th, after a long and painful illness Mrs. Theresa H. Wheeler, wife of J.R. Wheeler, Jr., aged forty-eight years and three months.
The death of Mrs. Wheeler calls for something more than its mere announcement at our hands. Her sickness was of a peculiarly distressing character. Just emerging from festivities attendant upon her daughter's marriage, seemingly in the best of health, she was attacked by what seemed at first to be a simple neuralgia, and as such her case received the attention of physicians. It however failed to yield to treatment and seemed to hold the patient with alarming tenacity. At this stage she was removed to New York, where for several weeks she was under the care of the best medical treatment procurable, but all to no purpose. Then her disease was finally pronounced to be an incurable, malignant one, and she was brought home to await its result. Surely and rapidly, it did its work, and all that could be done for her, was as opportunity offered to alleviate her sufferings. It was sad to see her in the strength and pride of womanhood, wrestling day after day with disease, until at last weakness compelled her to give over the uneven conflict. Then calmness and we may add resignation, she patiently waited her time, until on Sunday, surrounded by near and dear friends she quietly, peacefully passed away.
Mrs. W. was the eldest daughter of the late Giles Wheeler, of North Stonington, where she was married about twenty-seven years ago. In a short time thereafter, she removed to this town where she has ever since resided. She was a useful woman in society and wherever she saw an opportunity for good works, unostentatiously occupied it. In the family circle however, she was best known and appreciated. Never was there a more genial, warm-hearted friend, a more true and faithful wife, a more fond, loving and watchful mother. In her death society mourns the loss of an honored member and mingles its sympathies with the grief-stricken husband and daughter, upon whom the blow comes with such crushing weight. But we mourn not without hope, for her's was well-founded, and we believe she has gone to her reward. Mrs. W. was the sister of Mrs. B. Gage Berry of this village.
The funeral will take place this Thursday afternoon at Mr. Wheeler's residence on East Street. Relatives and friends invited.

Died: At Jefferson, N.H., after a brief illness, Charles A. Wetmore, aged 30 years.
Mr. Wetmore was the oldest son of Augustus C Wetmore of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY]. He was born in this town and spent his early days here. He fitted himself for College at our Academy and at an early age entered Hamilton College at Clinton from which he graduated with honor in the class of 1869. For the past three years he has been Principal of the Leicester Academy, a position which he has filled with credit to himself, and we may add success of the institute. For several years past he has been in feeble health and has during the vacation months sought either the bracing air of the Colorado plains or that of the mountains of New England. During the past spring he has been more than usually seriously afflicted, and so soon as he recovered sufficient to be able to, took his way to the White Mountains. Of the particulars of his last sickness and death we have nothing - a bare telegraphic announcement conveys the sad intelligence. We learn that his remains are to be brought to this village for interment. "Charlie" was a good boy, an exemplary young man, and a kind and indulgent teacher. His pupils all speak well of him, and every one that knew him will accord praise to him for his manly virtues and integrity of purpose. But he has passed away, the work of life yet begun, the work of the ministry for which, as occasion gave him opportunity, he was preparing himself. Still, who shall say he has lived in vain? He leaves a wife and infant child surviving him.
