The Harrisburg Patriot, 8 August 1904, gave a more detailed description in their obituary of Mrs. Buehler:
Funeral of Mrs. E. C. Buehler
Widow of Dr. Buehler Died Saturday in Baltimore, Md.
Mrs. Elizabeth C. Buehler, widow of Dr. Henry B. Buehler, whose death occurred in February, died on Saturday morning in Baltimore, after several years of illness. She had been living since the death of her husband with her daughter, Miss Eloise, the only surviving relative, who is a nurse in Baltimore. Mrs. Buehler was sixty-eight years old.
The remains were brought here yesterday and the funeral was conducted yesterday afternoon at ten o’clock at the St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, Rev. Herbert S. Hastings, priest-in-charge, officiating.
Mrs. Buehler’s illness and hospitalization had been previously reported in the Harrisburg Patriot, 4 March 1902 (below). At the time, Dr. Buehler was still living.
According the information available on family trees on Ancestry.com, the Buehler’s were married around 1867 in Harrisburg. Henry Buehler was a medical doctor in Gratz Borough, Dauphin County, for a short time immediately before the Civil War, and was a partner of Dr. Isaiah Schminky, but in order to help his father in the family hotel and insurance business, he moved to Harrisburg and was considered a resident of that place when he enrolled on the headquarters staff of the 11th Pennsylvania Infantry serving as Assistant Surgeon. After the war, Mrs. Buehler was involved with the ladies’ group that promoted the erection of the Dauphin County Civil War Monument through vigorous fund raising efforts.
