The Silent Reaper
Mrs. Johanna Yingling
Mrs. Johanna Yingling, for so many years a resident of Wooster, died at 11 o’clock Thursday night at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Mary Church at Cleveland, where she has been making her home. She was within a few days of being 88 years of age.
A few weeks ago relatives had planned to celebrate the aged lady’s 88th birthday anniversary, but she suffered a stroke of paralysis, and since then has been sinking rapidly.
Mrs. Yingling lived in Wooster for many years. She has a wide circle of friends and relatives here who will be grieved to learn of her death. She is survived by five daughters, as follows. Mrs. Anna Schuch, of Wooster, Mrs. Mary Church of Cleveland, Mrs. Dr. Kelly, of Cleveland, and Miss Louisa Kimmerline, of Cleveland. Mrs. Yingling was twice married, her second husband, Fred Yingling, passing away only two years ago. The body will be brought to Wooster at 7:15 on Friday evening. Funeral Saturday afternoon at two o’clock from the Swartzkopf house on Bowman St.
