Obit is from the Wisconsin Tobacco Reporter, Edgerton, Rock
Co., Wi. Fri 04 May 1923:

MRS. PRISCILLA SPIKE Mrs. Priscilla Spike was born on the 6th
day of May in the year 1852. SHe was the daughter if James and
Esther Wileman who lived on Albion Priaire. Her childhood
years were lived in this Christian home for her parents like
many of the early residents of the Prairie community were
people of sturdy Christian faith and her father was a local
elder in the Primitive Methodist church and at one time
preached in that church. On March 3rd, 1874, she was united in
marriage to Isaac Dickinson and for many years they lived on
the farm in the community her life had been spent. Because of
Mr. Dickinson's failing health it finally became necessary for
him to retire and in 1899 they moved to Edgerton. Mr.
Dickinson died May 29th, 1900. On May 11th, 1904, she was
united  in marriage to James Spike, living with him until his
death in May of 1909. Mrs. Priscilla Spike had two sisters and
three brothers, of which James Wileman of Albion, Henry
Wileman of Chicago and Mrs. Fred Mabson of this city survive.
Mrs. Spike had been in failing health for some time but her
serious illness was of brief duration, the end coming on the
evening of April 25th, 1923. She was a member of the Primitive
Methodist church for many years, but upon her removal to the
city she became a member of the local Methodist Episcopal
church. Mrs. Priscilla Spike will be missed by all who knew
her. She was a kindly sypmthathetic friend to all who were in
trouble. Not only did she testify to the saving grace of
Christ when opportunity was given but her life was a living
testimony borne to all about her in word and deed. She
excelled in the art of living well by the cheering word, the
sympathetic smile and tear and by the geneorus benevolance
that characturized her life we believe that by the door of
death she entered into life and the enjoyment of the treasure
laid up in Heaven where moth and rest cannot corrupt nor
thieves break thru and steal.               
                                                                               
Pastor's address.

Funeral services at the M.E. church on Saturday afternoon at
2:30 o'clock were largely attended. Rev. R.J. Bailey
officiating. Interment was made in Albion Prairie cemetery.
