Published in the Rochester(IN) Sentinel, Wednesday, February 18, 1891
Drs. Vernon and Chas. GOULD went to Kewanna Friday, to assist an Ann Arbor specialist in removing a tumor from Mrs. Wm. F. WILSON, which was attached to one kidney and necessitated the removal of that organ. The patient underwent the two hours operation in a successful manner, but her vitality was so severely reduced that death followed on Sunday. Deceased was a highly esteemed lady, and the funeral, which was held at the family residence yesterday, was largely attended. A husband and three children survive.
