Mrs. Wolcott Wetmore, Who Was Born in Camden 63 Years Ago - Funeral Today.
About 7:30 Monday morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Burr Howd on Dunbar street, occurred
the death of Mrs. Lucy Wetmore, relict of the late Wolcott Wetmore. The immediate cause of death
was apoplexy. Seven or eight years ago deceased suffered several slight paralytic shocks and
nearly ever since had been an invalid, being practically helpless. She was taken worse about 3
o'clock Sunday afternoon and failed rapidly from that time until she peacefully entered into rest.
Mrs. Wetmore was born in Camden 63 years ago the 29th of last January, and with the exception of
an absence of a year and a half in Connecticut with her son, she has passed her entire life in
this town. Her maiden name was Lucy Piney and she became the wife of Mr. Wetmore about 43 years
ago. For about 15 years she has been a widow. She was a highly esteemed lady, possessing many
qualities of womanly virtue that endeared her to all who made her acquaintance. For many years
she has been a member of the M.E. church of this village. The faith in which she lived and died
was fully exemplified during the long years of infirmity and incidental suffering.
To mourn her death are three children who are H. E. Wetmore of Hartford, Connecticut; Mrs. Burr
Howd of Camden and Miss Gertrude Wetmore of Manchester, Conn. to all of whom the sympathy of a
wide circle of friends is extended.
The funeral will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock from the home of Mrs. Howd, Rev. F. L.
Knapp officiating. Burial will be made in Forest Park cemetery.
