Mrs. Ada Wheeler Claimed by Death
	Saddening to her townspeople was the news that Mrs. Ada S. Wheeler, who 
resided at 453 Hull Court and was for a long period a shut-in, succumbed to her 
lengthy illness early last Thursday morning, September 17.  She was confined to 
Askew Memorial Hospital here at the time of her passing.  Although she had been 
unable to leave her home for the last few years, Mrs. Wheeler’s forebearance was 
both inspirational and endearing to those who knew her.
	Born in this county on February 5, 1875, she was 89 years of age at the 
time of her demise.  She was the former Miss Ada Stone, a daughter of the late 
Dave and Becky Harris Stone, and was married to the late Will Wheeler who 
preceded her in death in May, 1957.  Mrs. Wheeler spent her entire lifetime 
within the area of her birth, was a woman of devout character and a member of 
the Poplar Springs Church.
	Funeral services were conducted from the Nashville Church of God at 2 
o’clock on Saturday afternoon, September 19, with the Reverend Fred Hesters 
officiating at the presentation of the final rite.  Music was provided by a 
mixed quartet that included Mr. and Mrs. Martin Kent, Carlton Griner, and 
Roberson Gaskins, with Mrs. Carl Wilkerson accompanying at the piano.  Two 
traditional hymns on consolation, Farther Along and Precious Memories, were 
sung.
	Mrs. Wheeler was accompanied to her final resting place in Griner 
Cemetery by an active cortege cmposed of Donald Rowan, Lamar Wheeler, Jessie 
Sutton, J.C. May, J.R. May, and Bobby Stone.

Hillhouse, both of Lakeland, Fla. and mrs. Cora Stone of Nashville, and one son, 
Lucious Wheeler, also of Nashville.
