The
Late Mrs. Wyckoff
On Friday, 6 Apr 1917, Mrs.
D. J. Wyckoff was summoned by death, after a few hours' illness, at
her farm home near Norwich, where she and her husband had gone for a
few days visit.
The deceased was born in
Oneida County, New York, in 1842. Her maiden name was Ann E.
Stapleton.
In 1862 she was married to
the late W. F. Winchell, and removed to Canada, settling on a farm
three miles south of Simcoe.
Mr. Winchell died in 1871,
and three years later she was married to J. D. Wyckoff, now her
sorrowing husband. They settled on a farm southwest of Simcoe, where
they lived until 1903. From there they removed to Oxford County,
near Norwich. In 1913 they retired and came to live on Talbot
Street, Simcoe.
Mrs. Wyckoff is survived by
her husband, who mourns the loss of a faithful and devoted wife, and
two sons,
D. [sic] W. Winchell and J. [sic] C. Wyckoff, both of
Norwich Township.
The late Mrs. Wyckoff was
for over 40 years a consistent and devout member of the Methodist
Church, and was held in high esteem for her many excellent
qualities.
A brief service was
conducted by Rev. R. B. Rowe at the farm home. The funeral took
place from her late residence, Simcoe, on Tuesday, 10 Apr 1917 at 2
p.m. and was conducted by her minister, Rev. J. H. McBain.
Six nephews of the deceased
acted as pall-bearers, vix: Elmer Wyckoff, Herbert W. Wood, Chas. F.
Woolley, Allan Wyckoff, L. R. Sharp and Walter Schuyler.
