The Cherokee Advance 25 Nov 1882 p 2
Obituary
Mrs. Marie Wiley, wife of George Wiley, was the daughter of Balus Viles of
Cherokee county, Ga.  At the age of nineteen, she gave her tender affections to
George Wiley, and was united to him in marriage.  Mr. Wiley was the son of James
Wiley, one of the pioneers of Cherokee.

On the night of November 8th, 1882, Mrs. Wiley departed this life, leaving a
husband and four children to mourn their great loss.  She was in her 23d year,
having been married for six years.  As wife and mother, devoted and tender, the
time was short.  Still she had made preparation by faith in Christ and ever
keeping her lamp trimmed, when the call was made.  Her life bore ample fruits of
the christian and the true woman. 

The day after she was attacked with the terrible disease "minnegetus," (sic) She
called her husband and told him she would die.  After suffering four days, she
fell asleep, with her head pillowed on Jesus' breast. 

On the 10th, her remains were followed by numerous heart-bleeding friends and
relations to Mt. Gillead (sic) burying ground, and after services, conducted by
E. Waldripe in an impressive manner, she was laid in the last resting place of
mortals, to await the day of resurrection.

The entire community are sad over this dispensation, and their sympathies are
with the bereaved husband and the motherless children, one of which is but 4
months old.  May God deal with them according to his great love.  God bless the
mother of the deceased in her great sorrow, and bodily affliction and advanced
age, for she will soon meet the sleeping daughter on "the other shore." 

May Heaven's best blessings ever r_ t en (sic) the family, and the "Star of
Bethlehem guide them through earth's dark night to end, less day.  while (sic)
one has crossed the river and others are crossing, but a moment and all will
meet together on the "Shining Shore."   A Friend.
