Obituary of A M WAND, DeWitt County, Illinois Contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives Copyright 1999 Earliene Kaelin Name of Deceased: A M WAND Name of Newspaper: Clinton Register Date of Newspaper: March 1895 3/1895 Wand A sad death occurred in Farmer City last Monday. A. M. WAND is the proprietor of a store in that town, and for years his health has been so poor that his wife had to take an active part in the management of the business. The WANDS moved to Farmer City and were engaged in a general store business in the Young & Gould building, which was burned down last September. They lost heavily by the fire, but they got another building and moved into it the remnant of the stock saved and tried it again. In January they got back to the old stand in a new building, and while Mrs. WAND was in Chicago buying goods she caught cold, which developed into Typhoid fever, and then death. Mrs. WAND was only thirty-two years old. She was a woman of indomitable energy, and on account of her husband's sickly condition the whole burden of the business rested on her. ------------------------------------------------------------------ USGENWEB NOTICE: These electronic pages may NOT be reproduced in any format for profit or presentation by other organiza- tions or persons.
