Loretta Wellington Wightman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L.D. Wellington was born at Smithland, Iowa April 24, 1862 and grew to womenhood at that place. She was united in marriage to F.M. Wightman on December 29, 1877 and she lived in the Smithland and Holly Springs community since that time.
She united with the Methodist church almost 50 years ago and had been a devoted member, always active and a person who could be depended upon.

For the past two years she was unable to do much of her housework and she had been bedfast for the past six weeks following a number of strokes.
The funeral was held Sunday afternoon from the Holly Springs Methodist church followed by a large concourse of friends and interment was made in the Lee Cemetery, part of the pioneer homestead on her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. E.B. Lee, the first white settler in Woodbury County.
Rev. M.L. Metcalf, assisted by Rev. Carl Hammer, the local pastor officiated and had charge of the services. The male quartette was composed of Arthur and Lester Harrison, Carrol Burns and Everett Persinger, a solo by Mame King accompanied by Mrs. Cecil Burns.
