Fannie B. Wissler was born in Pickaway county, Ohio November 24, 1866 (sic), departed this life at the home of her sister, Mrs. J. H. Krell of this city, September 24, 1904, aged 67 years, and 10 months.

The deceased with her sister, Mrs. J. H. Krell, came to this county in the fall of 1875 and settled on a farm of unbroken prairie in Webster Township, which the two sisters improved and through which they provided a comfortable home for their aged parents.

The deceased united with the Evangelical church in early childhood and in later years transferred her membership to the M. E. church. Her life beautifully exemplified the Christian faith and the memory of her kind, unselfish disposition is a priceless heritage to her friends and loved ones.

Of immediate relatives, she leaves two sisters, Mrs. J. H. Krell of Winterset and an elder sister living in Chicago.

The funeral services were from the late home on Monday, conducted by her pastor Rev. R. W. Matheny of the M. E. church and the interment made in Winterset Cemetery.
