Mrs. Mary Wikel Dead
The Oldest Resident of Logan County at Last Gives Way to the Grim Destroyer
To but few people is given one hundred years life, one of these few being Mrs. Mary Ann Wikel of Atlanta, who on the 10th of next April would have been one hundred and one years old. However, this was not to be, as the old lady peacefully passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. M. [ary] C.[atherine] Burrows, Monday afternoon. Since the celebration of her one hundredth anniversary last April, Mrs. Wikel had failed slowly, but surely, life’s machine giving way to the infirmities of old age. The deceased came of a very long-lived family, her father living to the extreme age of 113 years. Her vigor has been a subject of remark for many years and until a comparatively recent date she was able to go about the yard and look after slight duties around the house. Mrs. Wikel was a member of the Lutheran church and a lady of many sterling qualities.
Mary Ann Snyder was born in Maryland Apr 10th, 1792, and when at the age of ten years was bound out to a family by the name of John Muma, near Hanover, Pa. In January 1815, at the age of 20, she was married to John Wikel; the husband was born March 11, 1788, in Hanover and served in the war of 1812. From the marriage of Miss Snyder and Mr. Wikel the following named children were born: Samuel, Oct. 1, 1815, Louisa A., Jan. 16, 1817; Catharine, July 2, 1820; Henry, Oct. 24, 1822; Susannah, Oct. 24, 1823; Wm., Feb. 28, 1825; Joshua, Aug. 4, 1826; Mary, Aug. 23, 1829; John, July 28, 1832 and Cornelia, April 28, 1836. Of all the above named children only three survive, viz Samuel Wikel, of Urbana, Ohio, Mrs. C. [harles] S. [tillman] Hinman of Clarinda, Iowa and Mrs. M.[ary] C. [atherine] Burrows of Atlanta, Ill. In 1833 the family removed to Ohio and from there to Peoria, Ill., in 1849. Mrs. Wikel has been a resident of Atlanta for about 30 years. She had one son in the Mexican war and three in the civil war. Mrs. Wikel has 27 grandchildren, 43 great grandchildren and two great great grandchildren.
The funeral took place Wednesday at 2 p. m. from the residence of her daughter, Mrs. M. [ary] C.[atherine] Burrows, with whom she had so long made her home. The services were largely attended and were conducted by Rev. A. V. Scott, after which the body was taken to the Atlantic [Atlanta] cemetery for burial. – The Atlantic (Ill.) Argus.
