Mrs. Charles Wamsley
 
In the death of Mrs. Charles Wamsley which occurred on the 16th inst at the 
home of her daughter, Mrs. Rose Welsh, Glen Haven, Grant County loses another 
of the pioneer mothers, now so rapidly passing away. Mrs. Wamsley was born in 
Ireland in 1827.  Came to this country at the age of thirteen years. And has 
ever since -- with the exception of two early years in Boston, resided in the 
neighborhood of Cassville and Waterloo. Her husband is a well known veteran of 
the Civil War. She was the mother of four children, Mrs. Thomas Eversol, 
Charles and Jerry, of Waterloo, and Mrs. Welsh, all of whom survive. Mrs. 
Wamsley had reached her ripe age of 84 years, 6 months and 5 days. 
     
Though crippled in body her mentality retained its poise to a remarkable 
degree until the close of her long life. Her last days were blest with the 
devoted care of husband and children. And she died as she had lived a firm 
believer in the Catholic faith. Mrs. Geo Johnson of South Lancaster, is her 
only surviving sister.
