Note

Note: Obituary and "other" information as it appeared in the local newspaper:

Died, near Richwood, Ohio, on the 11th inst., Miss Lydia H. Wiley.

The deceased was born in Muskingham county, Ohio, April 7th, 1839, and, at the time of her death, was 37 years of age. While she was quite young her parents moved from Muskingum county and settled in the Northern part of Union county, where she was reared and educated. From a child she had a fondness for books, which increased as she grew up into life, and for a number of her last years she was devoted almost exclusively to literary pursuits. As an instructress she won for herself an admirable reputation.

In 1853, when only fourteen years of age, she embraced the religion of Christ, and united with the M. P. Church of Richwood, in which she lived a devoted and estimable member for twent-three years.

During the hot, wet weather, of last summer, a decline in the health of Miss Wiley was noticeable, but no fears of immediate danger were entertained, and as the weather became pleasant, her health improved and she partiallly regained her former vigor, and at the opening of the school in Richwood, in the month of September, she entered upon her second school year with as much prospect for usefulness as she had in the previous year, though, at times, she realized some inconvenience from want of vigorous health, but met all the duties of her school with unabated energy and purpose, until within about three weeks of her death, at which time she was suddenly attacked with paralysis which at once threatened serious consequences. Skillful medical aid was at once called, but it soon became apparent that her last illness had overtaken her, and her days of usefulness were now over. When she became convinced that her dissolution was so near at hand, she expresed her readiness and willingness to pass through the vale of death, and go home to rest with the redeemed.

After enduring the most intense suffering for about two weeks, she calmly fell "asleep in Jesus."

Miss Wiley was a lady of retired habits; a close and careful reader of books, with a clear and retentive memory, and possessed a strong mind, which had been cultivated by a scientific education. In her deportment of life, she was unassuming, careful of the feelings of others, and always succeeded in securing the confidence of those with whom she associated; but was loved and appreciated most by those who knew her best.

On the 13th, her mortal remains were taken to the M. P. Church, in Richwood, where a large number of sympathizing friends came together to join in the obsequies. Prof. Kalb, Superintendent, out of respect, adjourned the schools in town that day. In the churh, the school formerly taught by Miss Wiley was seated immediately in the rear of the relatives, and directly behind them were seated Prof. Kalb and all other teachers of the town schools.

Rev. Rose preached a touching and sympathetic sermon; carefully alluding to Miss Wiley's relation to the church, and her devotion to the cause of education. After the sermon the body was conveyed to the Bethelem Cemetery, and deposited in its long resting place in full hope of a joyful resurrection.
