The sudden and sad news of the death of Mina Wetmore, wife of Spencer Matteson of this village,
which occurred at 1:30 Monday morning cast a shadow of gloom over the hearts of her many
relatives and friends. Saturday evening about 7 o'clock Mrs. Matteson became the mother of an
infant which did not live. She failed to rally and at eleven o'clock became unconscious, from
which state she passed into sleep that knows no awakening.
Mrs. Matteson was 27 years of age, and the eldest daughter of the late Wolcott Wetmore. She
was married to Spencer Matteson two years ago, with whom she had dwelt in perfect marital
harmony. She was a lady of large accquaintance in this village and Hillsboro, quiet and
unassuming and greatly respected.
She leaves, besides her sorrowing husband, a mother, a brother, Henry Wetmore, and sister
Gertrude, of this town, and another sister, Mrs. Burr Howd of Syracuse, to mourn her death.
The funeral was held yesterday afternoon from the house, 156 Main street, at 2, and at the
M.E. church at 2:30, Rev. W. F. Brown officiating.
MATTESON - In Camden, N.Y., March 30, 1896, Mina Wetmore, wife of Spencer Matteson, aged 27
years and 10 months.
