The Marietta Journal  June 11, 1891
DIED - Mrs Phoebe WIGLEY, wife of W F WIGLEY, died at his (sic) residence, 6
miles from Acworth, the 23d of May, 1891 at 2 1/4 in the afternoon and was
interred at Mars Hill Cemetery at 4 o'clock Sunday.  Rev A G JOHNSON officiated
at the funeral services.  She was 82 years 9 months and 27 days old, was born in
Gwinnett county, Ga., joined the Presbyterian church when about 18 years old and
has lived a consistent member of her church all through life.  She and her
husband lived together nearly 61 years - moved to Cobb county February the 18th
1835.  

She was one of the members that organized the Mar's Hill church.  She leaves a
husband, two sons and two daughters and a host of relatives and friends to mourn
her loss.  One son lives in Owanah, Texas, the other three children live near
the old homestead and all present in her last illness.  She called the family
all by name to her bedside and bid them all farewell as calmly as if she were
going on a visit.  She said she was going to die and wanted them to prepare to
meet her in Heaven.  

She was lovely in person as in character and in death her countenance was
glorified with a beauty that looked like a reflection on her youth.  Her mother
was the first person interred in Mar's Hill Cemetery.
