1304	Obituary: Jane Elizabeth Wessling MANSFIELD: Jane Elizabeth Wessling, 84, passed away peacefully Saturday morning November 12, 2011, at Briarwood Place. She joined her husband, Robert George Wessling, and her daughter, Diane Elizabeth Wessling, and is resting with them in eternal peace. Jane was born on February 21, 1927 in Deland, Florida to Benjamin and Hazel Metzger and spent most of her life in Ohio. Her life was devoted to providing loving care to others. This journey began with raising six children with the grace and unconditional love that sustains them as they now care for families of their own. She also cared for her mother-in-law for 14 years and her uncle during the final years of his life. Always wanting to provide comfort and dignity to those she loved, her greatest trial came when she cared for her husband for ten years after he suffered a massive stroke, and her daughter as she bravely fought breast cancer for six years. She faced these challenges with a spirit that inspired all. Jane was a creative person who enjoyed sewing for her large family as well as intellectual pursuits that expanded her mind and challenged her thinking. She had a tremendous sense of humor and always had an encouraging and optimistic perspective to share. All that we are, and all that we hope to be, we owe to our loving and devoted mother. Her life will continue to be an example of the vital importance of serving others and her legacy lives on through her close family who deeply mourns her loss. She is survived by four daughters and sons-in-law Kathleen and Thomas Kline of Crestline, Barbara and Jeffrey Davis of Perrysville, Patricia and Anthony Basilone of Mansfield and Jennifer and Eric Weber of Charlotte, NC; a son and daughter-in-law Thomas and Brenda Wessling of Atlanta, GA. She is also survived by 12 grandchildren and five great grandchildren. In addition to her husband and daughter, she was also preceded in death by her brother Harold Metzger. Please join the Wessling family in celebrating Jane's life. Visitation will be held Wednesday evening, November 16, 2011 from 4-7 p.m. in the Finefrock Chapel of the Marion Avenue Snyder Funeral Home.

Dad hadseen Viv at one of her college dances at Indiana. She had asked herbrother, Henry, to go because he was such a good dancer. Dad had comeup to Henry during the dance and asked him about the girl he was with.Henry said, 'That's my sister'. After that Viv's college roomate,Famie Finn, fixed them up on a blind date. Famie's sister, Loretta,and Mother were to go out with Bill Reid and Johnny Smith. They didn'tknow who would be with who when they got in the car. Johnny said,'I'll take the young lady (Loretta)', so mother got in the back seatwith Bill. Johnny was driving his car. They were supposed to goswimming. The car had several flat tires on the way there and home.They no sooner would repair one tire and another would go flat. Whenthey got to where they were going swimming, it was too cold to go inthe water (Bill and Famie) went in anyway. Mother was reallydisgusted. On the way home it was cold so Bill gave Viv his coat. Thewind caught his cigarette ash and blew it up the coat sleeve. When sherealized what had happened and cried out, Bill crushed the coat sleeveto her arm to put out the ash. It left a mark on her arm for over ayear. When she got back she said, 'I'm never going out with himagain.' Later when she was home from college for the summer, sheattended a Rossiter baseball game. Her brother, Henry, was the catcheron the Rossiter team, which was the best team around. Bill and DudeSteigers were at the game and Bill asked Viv to go to a DeMolay dancein Dubois. They assured her the tires were now in good shape. She saidshe would have to ask her parents. She told her mother, who said toher father, 'you know, he's Alec Reid's son.' They said o.k. It was aformal dance and Bill wore a tux. Viv wore a black moire dress she hadgotten at school. The dress was longer in the back than the front andthe hemline hung in peaks. To tease Viv, on the way to the dance theytold her that Bill couldn't dance. She was hot, she thought 'here wego again' (she loved to dance). After dinner there weren't many peopleon the dance floor, and she didn't want to be with someone whocouldn't dance so she got up to go to the restroom. Her feet flew outfrom under her and she landed on her rear end. She was so embarrassedshe went into the restroom and stayed there for a long time. When shecame out Bill asked her to dance and she reluctantly agreed. He was awonderful dancer. After that she liked him and never went out withanyone else. She always said 'she fell for him'.

GRIST FROM OLD MILLS, The St. Marys, Benzinger Twp. HistoricalSociety. EPIDEMIC OF 1918.--- Those of us who write the 'Grist fromold Mills' articles are often influenced in the topics we choose bythe more sublime and romantic nostalgia of yesteryear.Unfortunately, the lives that our ancestors led were often filled withhardship of a time that we today do not sometimes consider. Inthis respect, it is probably fitting that from time to time we devotethe lines of this column to those not so happy days that part andparcel comprise the heritage from which we have survived and evolved. A recent story in Time magazine about the frightful and almostunbelievable resurgence of the bubonic plague of the MIddle Agesprompted this article. Although the influenza epidemic of 1918 was notas diabolical as the Black Death, which ravaged Europe in the 1300's,it was a terrifying time which left a pall upon a community of people,who would not soon forget those near and dear who fell victim to anunseen enemy. Joseph Riesenmon, Jr.'s History of NorthwesternPennsylvania recounts what it was like in St. Marys during thatinfamous flu epidemic: 'The influenza and pneumonia epidemic of 1918struck heavily in northwestern Pennsylvania. In many of the cities,emergency hospitals were provided and it was with great difficultythat all patients were properly cared for. Many of the physicians werevictims and nurses and physicians who were able to practice theirprofession were busy day and night. The situation throughout theentire region was much the same. The town of St. Marys was especiallyafflicted. Up to October sixteenth, St. Marys was free from thedisease, but in that day, sixteen cases were reported. In five days,between four hundred and five hundred cases were reported in theborough and township. W. G. Bauer, who at that time was chief burgess,acted as soon as the first cases were reported by the physicians; herealized the local Board of Health needed assistance and thusorganized an Emergency Health Committee composed of leading citizens.The Elks Club offered their fine home as an emergency hospital, and onOctober 21, the hospital was opened to receive patients. TheBoard of Health at that time consisting of Dr. A. F. Davis, F. S.Hammond, William Cheatle, W. F. Marshall,and P. F. Sweeney, and theEmergency Committee, together handled the situation in a manner whichwon them the highest acclaim on the part of the citizens of the town.The physicians of St. Marys-- they were Dr. C. G. Wilson, Dr. AlfredA. Mulhaupt and his wife Dr. Helena Mulhaupt, Dr. A. F. Davis, Dr. J.C. Cochran and Dr. A. C. Luhr-placed themselves at the disposal of theEmergency Committee. The local physicians being unable to copewith the ever increasing number of cases coming to the hospitalhourly, it became necessary to appeal for medical help, and thefollowing from out of the town responded: Dr. Roy H. Blair, of theState Department of Health, Drs. Heimbach, Larson, and Denny of Kane,Drs. Robinson, African, and Brown of Warren, Dr. Patton of Bradford,and (Dr.) Rev. Eben J. Russ, although retired from practice for quitesome time, again assumed his title and helped where he could. Onthe twentieth the first death was reported, Edward Kreckel, and hisfour-month-old daughter died shortly afterward. Two days later, thedeaths had mounted to thirteen, and were constantly rising. Several ofthe local boys in the various war camps had died, and their bodieswere being shipped home. Thirty-two deaths occurred in the EmergencyHospital. The physicians were working day and night, and the EmergencyCommittee was on the job twenty-four hours a day. Trucks pressed intoservice as ambulances were constantly on the streets. From everywherecame the call for help, and those two weeks, and more, were days andnights to try the nerves of the strongest. When the epidemic finallyspent itself it was found that in the short time it had claimed thelives of close to a hundred and fifty persons. Newspaper clipping inthe possession of Jean Reid Edwards.

Mrs. Fred Erich was the firstpatient and Robert Lion was the first St. Marys baby born there.At the right and rear is the boiler building and was also the hospitallaundry for many years. The building was originally the Monasteryfor the Benedictine Fathers of the community. The original building isstill the central portion and main entrance of the hospital todaywhich over the years has undergone several additions and all types ofrenovations. The Spanish Flu epidemic which struck the community inOctober of 1918 and caused at least 117 deaths during October,November, and December, during which the Elks Club Building wasconverted into an emergency hospital, lead to the founding of AKM. The original hospital was badly gutted by a fire in 1934 and rebuiltin 1939. During that period of time the former St. Benedict's Academybuilding served as the hospital.	Reid, John James (I3513)
