Mrs. Wissler Dies After Long Illness

After an illness of seven months, Mrs. W. E. Wissler, 36 years old, died Saturday evening at her home, 5001 County Club Boulevard.

She was born in Jackson, Michigan and married here twelve years age to Mr. Wissler, who is general manager of the Herring Motor Company. Besides her husband, she is survived by two daughters, Laura Helen, 4 years old, and Clara Estelle, 7 years old, and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. James G. Herring, of Atlantic, Iowa., and a brother, Clyde L. Herring, of the Herring Motor company.

Mrs. Wissler was operated on for cancer of the stomach at Rochester, Minn., five months ago, and for a time, seemed to improve. Her condition for the last few weeks has been critical, and her strength gradually ebbed away.

Mrs. Wissler was a member of several women’s clubs and the Plymouth Congregational church. Funeral services will be held Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. at the family home, the Rev. Burtis R. MacHatton officiating. Burial will be in Glendale cemetery.
