Death of Mrs. John Wiley

(May 12, 1909)

   Martha, wife of John Wiley, died shortly before noon Monday morning.  She had been in failing health for the past year, and an attack of pneumonia left her with a tubercular trouble from which she never recovered.

   Mrs. Whiley's maiden name was Martha Nichols, and she was the daughter of John Nichols, a bookbinder.  She was born in Oxford in 1835 or 1836, and was married five times.  Her first husband was James Gartsey of Norwich, the second husband was Mr. Stewart, father of the late Franklin Stewart of this village; the third husband Mr. Stiles of Georgetown, and the fourth was Daniel Herrick of Binghamton.  On June 24, 1906, she was married to John Wiley.  Most of her life was spent in Oxford, although at different periods she resided in Norwich, Georgetown and Binghamton.  She was nearly a lifelong member of the Methodist Episcopal church.

   She is survived by her husband, two sister, Mrs. Frank Shapley of Oxford, and Mrs. Benj. Northrop of Kalamazoo, Mich., two brothers, Geo. Nichols of Dalton, and Robert Nichols of Jersey City.

   The funeral will be held at 2 o'clock this afternoon, Rev. Frederick A. Lendrum, officiating.  Interment will be made in Riverview.
