Emma Welling Dead

Mrs. Emma Holmes Welling, wife of the late Job Welling, died about 6 o'clock Tuesday morning, June 11th, 1901, of inflammation of the liver. She was taken sick the proceeding Saturday afternoon or evening. Prior to that, she appeared to be feeling extra well. She was conscious right up to her death. The last night she did a great deal of talking to her children giving them good advice and giving detailed instructions as to how she wished to be buried. The night before she also told her people that about a month prior to that she had a presentment that she was going to die. She had very little hope of her recovery from the time she was first taken sick.
The funeral services were held in the Farmington meeting house, Thursday, June 13th, at 3pm.
