Elizabeth Whitmore Wildman was born at North Star, Gratiot Co., Mich., Mar. 2, 1870. Her parents, Daniel C. and Ann Whitmore were pioneer settlers in that section of Michigan. On Dec. 8, 1902 she was united in marriage with John H. Wildman of Carson City, Mich., who passed to his rest Oct. 28, 1941. Surviving are two sons, Durward, Sr., of Battle Creek, Mich. and Virgil of Los Angeles, California. A foster daughter, Mrs. Richard Valean lives in Lansing. After leaving the farm in March of this year, Mrs. Wildman went to the home of her son in Battle Creek where she passed away very suddenly after a heart attack early on the morning of July 4, 1946.
In 1915 Mrs. Wildman with her family accepted the teachings of the Seventh-day Adventist church and became a charter member of a new church organized at Middleton, Mich. However, for more than twenty-five years she attended the Adventist church in Carson City, Mich. She was loved and respected by all in the congregation for her faithful Christian ministry. A loving mother has gone to her rest beside her companion until the trumpet sounds and Christ comes to gather His own. Interment was in the Carson City Cemetery.
