Mrs. Rev. Wilms died at her home in Buck Grove, Friday evening at 10 o'clock, of heart failure. She had not been well for some time, but her sudden death is a great shock to the community. She leaves her husband and seven small children to mourn her loss. She was a woman of 41 years of age, a loving wife and mother, and a sympathizing friend. She was born and married in Germany, and came to this country 13 years ago. The funeral was held in the Buck Grove church, conducted by Rev. DeNeui, of Parkersburg, on Tuesday, and the remains laid to rest in the cemetery.
