Charlotte Wilson (nee Doan) Obituary and Family Listing 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.
