Reno Evening Gazette February 9, 1911
Mrs. Westfield Is Called By Reaper
Aged and Respected Pioneer of Reno Succumbs to Long Illness
After an illness of a year, Mrs. Mary Rosalie Westerfield, wife of Hon. W.J.
Westerfield, died yesterday afternoon.
She was a woman who was widely known and every acquaintance was a friend, for
she was unstinting in her charities and in the performance of her duties as a
Christian.
Especially was she interested in the political advancement of her husband, who
was urged by her to aspire to the various honorable positions which he filled,
especially those of senator and state treasurer.
Mrs. Westerfield was aged 62 years.  She came to Nevada 35 years ago and was
married to Senator Westerfield in 1882.  No children were born to them.
She is survived by a brother, Lewis F. Benjamin, residing in this city, and by
three brothers and a sister in Iowa.  She was a consistent member of Trinity
Episcopal church
Funeral services were held at two o’clock this afternoon at the family
residence, 101 State street.  Tonight Senator Westerfield will leave with the
body for the east, for it was the wish of his wife that she be buried beside her
father and mother in her old home at Primrose, Iowa.
