OBITUARY

Harriet Dibble was born in Westfield, N. Y., August 20, 1845, and died at
Vesper on August 7, 1918, being nearly seventy-three years of age. When
three months old her parents moved to Evansville, Wis., where she grew up
to womanhood and received her schooling. On September 20, 1867, she joined
in marriage to Watson Turner and to this union five children were born, all
of whom are living, namely, Harry, of Pittsville; Lamonte, of Beloit; Mrs.
June Mead, of Holman; Mrs. Minnie Edwards, of Arpin, and Lynn, of Sigel. In
1905 the subject of this sketch came to Wood county with her husband and
lived on a farm in the town of Sigel up to two years ago, when they retired
and moved to Vesper. Early in life she became affiliated with church work
and always maintained church membership. She was also a model wife and
mother. 

The funeral services were held Saturday morning from the Congregational
church with Rev. H. R. Vaughn officiating. A large concourse of relatives
and friends attended the last rites. There was a profuse offering of
flowers from admiring friends. All the children were present at the
funeral. Interment was made in Forest Hill cemetery at Grand Rapids.
Grandpa Turner and children have the deep sympathy of the community in
their bereavement. Vesper, Wis., State Center.

The deceased was a sister of George Dibble, of this city, and was well
known here. She and her husband, it will be remembered, visited in this
city about a year ago.
