Willits News, September 17, 1958
"LONGTIME WILLITS RESIDENT FOUND DEAD AT HOME.

Final rites for Ethel Rosy Wimmer, 73, longtime local resident who was found 
dead at her home Saturday [September 13] on Madden Lane, will be held tomorrow 
(Thursday) morning at 10 o'clock at the L. P. Anker Mortuary. Willits Chapter, 
Order of Eastern Star, No. 314, of which Mrs. Wimmer was a longtime member will 
officiate.  Rev. Geo. Fletcher will assist at burial services in Willits 
Cemetery.

Mrs. Wimmer, widow of the late Deed [Eugene D.] Wimmer, a well known early day 
resident and butcher of the community, apparently passed away of a heart 
condition, according to authorities following an autopsy.  She, presumably, had 
been dead a few hours when found by a neighbor.

A longtime resident, Mrs. Wimmer was well known to old-time families of the 
community.  Both she and her husband were active in civic affairs for many 
years and he was one of the original sponsors of Frontier Days, Willits' annual 
celebration.  For several years Mrs. Wimmer was a clerk at the Travelers Hotel 
and more recently followed the same occupation at Hotel Van.

She was a native of Missouri.

One brother, Walter Dill of Greenfield, Missouri, survives." END
