NAME: Nellie's maiden name is in dispute at this time. Both spellings are found: SOUTHWARD and SOUTHWORTH, however her death certificate shows: SOUTHWARD. Her name on her death Certificate is: Nellie E. WHEELER. She made her home with Peter Lick's folks of Wellsburg for several years therefore her maiden name is also found as: LICK.

BIRTH: 14 Feb 1887 is the date on Death Certificate. 27 Feb 1886 is a date on newspaper obituary and on gravestone.

DEATH: Death Certificate shows: 25 Jun 1914. Obituary says 24 Jun 1914. Gravestone is incorrect and shows 12 June 1912.

OBITUARY: Conneaut News Herald - Thursday, June 25, 1914
MRS. MARVIN WHEELER DIED IN HAMOT HOSPITAL, ERIE, FORMER RESIDENT HERE
Mrs. Marvin Wheeler, aged 28, died at 10:30 o'clock last evening in Hamot hospital, Erie, after a serious illness. Mrs. Wheeler is survived by her husband and four small children besides one brother, Fred Southworth, and one sister, Mrs. Vern Bisbee, both of this city. Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler have lived in Albion but formerly resided at Clark Corners and have a number of friends here who will remember Mrs. Wheeler as a dear friend.
The funeral will be held from the east side church but further arrangements have not been made.
The following is most likely from a newspaper in Conneaut, Ohio. Date also not known.
"Mrs. Nellis Wheeler, wife of Marvin Wheeler, of Albion, Pa., after two weeks of suffering, passed gently away at the St. Vincent hospital in Erie, June 24. She was formerly Miss Nellie Southward, of Conneaut, Ohio. She was born Feb. 27, 1886; her mother died when she was nine years old.
She made her home with Peter Lick's folks, of Wellsburg, Pa., for several years. She was a well educated young woman, being a school teacher at one time. She was married to Marvin Wheeler Feb. 9, 1904. She was the mother of five little ones, oldest one seven years old, one died a few years ago; four left to mourn for mamma, Archie, Donald, Ethel and Paul, and a kind husband. Everything was done for her comfort, but the angel of death hovered over her until she dropped gently asleep. The funeral was held at the house, burial took place in Conneaut, Ohio, where the baby sleeps. Elder Bird preached a very touching sermon.
