Mrs. Whisman Dies after Long Illness
 
Mrs. Nannie Bailey Whisman, 80, died early Friday morning 
May 7, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Charles Terry, from 
a heart attack which followed a long illness.  Funeral services 
were conducted Sunday, May 9, interment following in the 
family cemetery near Fincastle in Wolfe County.
 
Mrs. Whisman was the daughter of the late Minter and Louise 
Bailey.  She was born in Lee County, Virginia, Oct. 15, 1856.  
Her parents moved to Wolfe County near Campton, where 
she was very young where she lived until her marriage to 
Michael S. Whisman of Fincastle.  Ten children were born to 
them seven of whom survive.  Her husband preceded her to 
the grave several years ago.
 
During the past several years, Mrs. Whisman has lived in 
Middletown, O.
 
More than four years ago Mrs. Whisman suffered a paralytic 
stroke and had been an invalid since that time.  Six weeks 
prior to her death, she came to Jackson for a visit with her 
daughter, Mrs. Terry, where she was stricken and died at 
five o'clock Friday morning.
 
A short service was conducted at the family residence at eight 
o'clock Sunday morning, and the body taken in the Ray & Black 
ambulance to Wolfe County where funeral services and 
interment followed in the family lot near the old homestead.
 
Surviving are two sons, Arthur Whisman of Indianapolis, Ind., 
and Ray of Fincastle; five daughters, Mrs. Charles Terry of this 
city; Mrs. John Poland, Bridgeport, Ind.; Mrs. T.S. Shackelford, 
Fincastle; Mrs. Frank Nelson, Dayton, Ohio; and Mrs. Minnie 
Mathews, Middletown, O.  Eighteen grandchildren and one 
great grandchild, Mary Ellen Terry, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 
Elmer J. Terry of this city, also survives, and one sister, Mrs. 
S.B. Smith, Campton, KY.
 
Mrs. Whisman was well known throughout this section of the 
state and related to many families in Lee, Wolfe and Breathitt 
counties.  Although an invalid, for several years, she maintained 
an unusually alert mind until her death, and was loved by all 
who knew her.
