Raymond Independent, December 19, 1918
Mrs. Wedekind dies

On Sunday morning, December 15, 1918, occurred the death of Mrs. Wilhelmina 
Wedekind, widow of the late Richard Wedekind, at the hour of 5:30 o'clock, at 
her home in this city, at the age of 68 years, 10 months and eight days, her 
death being due to dropsy.

Deceased was a native of Germany, being born Feb. 7, 1850, and came to America 
when about nineteen years of age and settled in Montgomery County, and resided 
on the farm until moving to this city, where she has since resided up to the 
time of her death.

On March 28, 1873, she was united in marriage to Richard Wedekind, who 
departed this life on December 11, 1906.  To this union were born five 
children as follows:  Veleda, wife of Albert Chapman, of Raymond; Effie, wife 
of Guy Mitts, of Mulberry Grove; Alvina, wife of Wm. Weingrand, Hillsboro.  
Two sons, Voltaire and John, proceded her in death.

She is survived by one brother, Fred Hillman, of Irington [Ireton], Iowa, and 
thirteen grand children.  She was a member of the Lutheran Church.  She was a 
loving mother and kind neighbor, ever ready to help those in need and numbered 
her friends by the score, and will be sadly missed by them.

The funeral services were held in the Presbyterian Church, Wednesday morning, 
December 18th, at the hour of 10:30 o'clock, Rev Cassius A. Garst 
officiating.  Interment was made in Asbury cemetery south of town.
