Shock Was Cause Of Sudden Death
Mrs. Wilson Terry of Chatham Sitting in a
Chair in Her Home When End Came
Mrs. Wilson Terry, aged 65 years, died very suddenly, last Saturday afternoon while sitting in a chair in her home on Main street in Chatham, death reslting from a paralytic stroke. While she has not been in good health of late, and was more or less under the care of a physician, it was not realized that she was in a serious condition therefore her death was unexpected.
The funeral was held in the Reformed church Tuesday afternoon, the Rev. Dr. R.C. Wright, pastor of the church, officiating. The beautiful funeral service of the Order of the Eastern Star was also conducted. Mrs. Harold Hall of Chatham sang two solos. The funeral arrangements were in charge of Undertaker Gifford and interment was in the Chatham Rural cemetery. Mrs. Terry was a member of the grange, the Order of Eastern Star and of the Court of Amaranth, these orders being represented at the funeral service and there were floral offerings from them as well as from many individuals, the array being a very extensive one.
Mrs. Terry is survived by her husband, by one brother, William, who lives in California, and by one sister, Miss Flora J. Bassett of Chatham, who is passing the winter in Florida. Miss Bassett expected to attend the funeral but later telegraphed that she was not able to make the journey. Mrs. Terry is also survived by two stepdaughters, the Misses Mildred and Althea Terry of New York.
She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Bassett and was born in what afterward became known as the Stewart place near the Columbia Boxboard Mills. Later the family lived on River street and elsewhere in this village.
For many years before her marriage, she was a bookkeeper in the Ladies' Bazaar in Chatham when it was under the proprietorship of William Rogowski. Mrs. Terry was a member of the Reformed church and was a regular attendant at its services as long as her health permitted. She also derived much pleasure from attending the grange, Amaranth and Eastern Star meetings. She was a woman who was thoroughly interested in present day activities, the doings of her friends, the progress of the village she had known for so many years but above all she was interested in her home and family.
