Pawnee Herald, July 28, 1921
Mrs. Elizabeth Parke Wignall, wife of William B. Wignall, superintendent of the 
mine in this city for several years, died at the family home on East Carroll 
street early Saturday evening, July 23, 1921.  her death was preceded by many 
weeks of intense sufferings.  These she bore with great fortitude while 
maintaining the same outward cheerfulness that had characterized her entire 
life.  Though the fatal nature of the affliction had been known for some times, 
its inevitable termination cast a pall of poignant sorrow over a friendship 
circle of broad extent.

Funeral services were held in the Presbyterian church at 1:00 o’clock Monday 
afternoon.  The obsequies were conducted by the pastor, Dr. D. G. Carson, and 
included the impressive committal rites prescribed in the ritual of the Order 
of the Eastern Star.  Officiating as pall bearers, representing the Masonic 
order and the Presbyterian congregation were O. N. Sprague, Jr., Dr. W. H. 
Shaw, H. H. Mason, C. W. Kessler, J. H. Crowder, and I. P. Davenport.  At 
conclusion of the service the funeral party were driven to Springfield to 
entrain for Wilmington, where interment was made the following day.

The deceased was born at Grafton, West Virginia, November 24, 1870.  At the age 
of twelve years, with her family she moved to Braidwood, Illinois, where she 
lived until married November 20, 1890, to Walter B. Wignall.  They located 
immediately in Streator, where their three children, Alta, William and Mary, 
were born.  Later they moved to Springfield and eight years ago came to 
Pawnee.  With the exception of brief periods of residence in Taylorville and in 
Kentucky, they have since made their home in this city.

Surviving are the husband and three children above mentioned, a grandson, the 
aged mother, Mrs. Agnes Howat, four sisters and two brothers.

Mrs. Wignall was a member of the First Presbyterian church of Taylorville and 
of Pawnee Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star.
