Morning Republican, January 31, 1896

On Sunday last, Mrs. Matilda, widow of the late James Wynn, died at the home 
of her son, Squire Harrison Wynn, in the village of St. Mary’s.  Her age was 
84 years, 9 months and 15 days.

During the sickness of the old lady, caused by the infirmities of age, Mrs. 
Eliza Ann, wife of Harrison Wynn, nursed her mother-in-law, and with self-
sacrifice gave to her unselfish care.  The burden, however, was too great, and 
the faithful and devoted daughter-in-law became ill with pneumonia and 
notwithstanding the best medical attention and loving devotion on the part of 
husband and friends the lady survived her husband’s mother scarcely three 
days, yielding the stern call of death early Wednesday morning.

     Deceased wife was 58 years of age and leaves beside her husband four 
children- two sons and two daughters- to cherish her memory.

She was the daughter of the late Richard Dampman, of St. Mary’s, and a niece 
of Lewis Dampman and Mrs. Stephen Lazarus, and a cousin of Mrs. Annie M. 
Griesemer, Mrs. Harvey Sheeler, Mrs. George Rahn, Mrs. William G. Rahn, Jonas 
Boyer, J. Lewis Boyer, Howard Dampman and Isaiah Dampman, all of Pottstown.  
She was a sister to Mrs. Jonathan Geary, North Coventry, and Mrs. Frank 
Fawkes, of Frick’s Locks.

Her remains will be buried to-day in the family burial ground at St. Mary’s.  
The remains of Mrs. Wynn were buried Wednesday.  The bereaved husband is a 
widely know citizen.  He was at one time superintendent of the iron ore mines 
at St. Mary’s and proprietor of a general merchandise store.  He is at present 
employed  in the U.S. Mint at Philadelphia.
