Mrs. William WEMPLE, nee ACKLER
Posted by Karen Bush on Mon, 15 Nov 1999 (web site http://cgi.roots.com/~genbbs)
Surname: WEMPLE, ACKLER
Mysterious and Determined Suicide of a Gowanda Lady.
A Young Married Lady Poisons herself, Refused all Remedies and Dies Without Revealing her Motive.
We hear from the [ ] that a young married lady, between eighteen and nineteen years of age, wife of Mr. Wm. WEMPLE, of Gowanda, Cattaraugus Co., committed suicide at Lockport, Erie Co., Pa., on the 15th ult., with almost unparalleled premeditation and determination and from motives which she studiously concealed to the last. Mrs. WEMPLE's father is a farmer, named W. W. ACKLER, residing at Gowanda, N.Y., where she was married last July, and has lived most of the time since. She came to Lockport on the 14th ult., accompanied by her husband, with then intention of paying his brother, Mr. John WEMPLE, a visit. The afternoon of the same day she complained of a headache, and about six o'clock in the evening became so ill that she was compelled to lie down upon a sofa. About eight o'clock she was seized with convulsions. This appears, from the questions of her husband, to have aroused his suspicions, and he asked her what she had taken. She replied nothing, insisted that she only had a sick headache, and refused to receive medical aid. Her condition became so alarming that her husband called in two physicians, who were satisfied that she had taken some kind of poison and endeavored to administer antidotes. She refused to take the remedies, and when medicine was forced into her mouth, spit it out, and even carefully wiped her lips with her handkerchief. Meantime the poison was slowly but surely doing its work; she again went into spasms, which occurred at intervals until Friday morning about six o'clock, when she died.
Mrs. WEMPLE was noticed to go upstairs frequently during the afternoon preceding her death, and it is supposed did so for the purpose of secretly taking the poison in small and repeated doses. She went behind the house just at evening, and probably after taking the last dose -- hid the vial containing the poison, under a board, where it was found entirely empty, with the name of the poison carefully erased from the label, which bears the name of a druggist at Gowanda. She procured the poison at the place the Saturday previous to leaving home, by sending a boy after it. When questioned as to what he went for, she replied a spool of thread. Here is conclusive proof that her death was not the result of sudden aberration of mind, but of a deliberate purpose, which she went to Lockport to consummate.
What kind of poison she used is not known, as the vial when found, was empty, and no inquest was held or post mortem examination made. An inquest, most certainly, should have been held, for the protection of her husband and those with whom she was with at the time of her death, for although they are, unquestionably, entirely innocent of the crime of taking her life, they might be subject to great inconvenience and unjust suspicion, by neglecting to obey the law and receive the exoneration of an official investigation.
The only clue the unfortunate lady gave as to the motive impelling her to self murder, was the remark just previous to her death that, all this wouldn't have happened if it hadn't been for mother. Her married life and conduct do not furnish to her friends at Lockport, any clue to what she meant by this declaration. She did not appear to be unhappy, but on the contrary was regarded as a contented and industrious young lady. Her husband is well nigh heart broken by this calamity, which has so suddenly and terribly snatched from him an adored wife in the full bloom of youth and health.
Mrs. Wemple's remains were taken to Gowanda for interment.

Michael Alper was born a Wemple and immediately let out for adoption. According to him, he was conceived during a one night's reconciliation, when his father traveled from Mexico to New York to see if the marriage with Joan couldn't be put back together. The reconciliation didn't work, but Mike was on his way into the world and was born December 9, 1939. His birth took place in a home for unwed mothers on Staten Island, New York. Michael was immediately put into an orphanage, and was finally adopted by George and Edith Mandel Alper on March 31, 1941, when he was nearly 16 months old.
He was raised in a family with two other boys, one a natural son of the Alper's and the other was adopted, along with Michael.
In 1970 after Michael found out he was adopted, he started on a search for his birth parents. After about a year's work, Michael had, through many friends, found his birth parents. After his discovery, he become acquainted with, not only both his parents, but his full sister, Lois, and his half siblings, Joseph, and, Sandra.
Michael is presently living in Albuquerque, NM with his wife and her granddaughter, Kloey, whom they have adopted.
About 1974, Michael became acquainted with George Jesse Wemple, when George was working on re-compiling the Wemple family genealogy. When George was nearly finished, a copy of George's work was given to Michael. In 1996, through Robert Preston Wemple, who also lives in Albuquerque, over the phone, told the compiler that he should contact Michael, because of this valuable information he had.
In the end, my son, Daniel, and I flew to Albuquerque and had a family reunion with the Robert Wemples and the Michael Alpers and I came home with George's book about the Wemples in hand. | Michael Alper

Sent to the compiler by Demarest Bowers Morrow, Danville, CA, on 19 October 2004: Memory of the Fergus Falls Tornado -(1918?) (as related to me by my mother Frances Wemple (Bowers). Frances and several friends had been out for the afternoon. (I believe she said it was a Sunday.) The sky began to be extremely ominous. The dark clouds took on a greenish tint. The air smelled musty. The girls realized that a severe storm was pending and decided to hurry home. Frances suggested that they all go to her house on Summit Avenue, but the others felt they should go to their own homes. Shortly after her arrival at her house, the storm hit. Her dad, D.S. Wemple, was a large man, known for his unusual strength. As the wind hit, he decided to step outside to size things up. He was blown to the ground and came crawling back to safety. When the storm had passed, everyone went out to survey the havoc. Frances remembered being impressed by such sights as straw blown into the brick of the nearby creamery, and of course, unbelievable damage to property everywhere. The sad thing was that two of the friends with whom she had spent the afternoon were killed in the storm. **************************** Related by Demarest Bowers Morrow, daughter of Frances Wemple Bowers.

Obituary from THE SACRAMENTO BEE, 26 November 1948, page 1c2:
HEART ATTACK IS FATAL TO STATE WATER ATTORNEY
Spencer E. Burroughs, 54, Principal Attorney for the State Division of Water Resources and recognized authority on water law in California, died early today in Susanville, Lassen County, after a heart attack.
He died in the home of his mother, Mrs. Gladys Burroughs. He and his family had gone to Susanville for a Thanksgiving Day reunion with his wife's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jay Wemple, who reside near Susanville.
DOCTOR WAS CALLED
With his wife, Olga, and their children, Trent, Jeffrey and Olga, he had returned to the home of his mother shortly after midnight when he complained of feeling ill and lay down on a bed. His wife summoned a doctor but Burroughs was dead when the physician arrived.
Mrs. Gladys Burroughs had resided in Sacramento until recently when she moved to Susanville. She was in Sacramento at the time of her son's death.
Burroughs was the son of the late Superior Court Judge H.D. Burroughs of Lassen County. His mother succeeded her husband as Superior Court Judge upon the his death and later served as a Deputy Attorney General (of California). She lives in Susanville.
STANFORD GRADUATE
A native of Chico, Butte County, Spencer Burroughs was educated in the public schools of Susanville and studied law at the University of California and Stanford University. He was a graduate of the Stanford Law School.
In 1920 he entered the private practice of law and in 1922 was named Attorney for the Division of Water Rights, predecessor to the Division of Water Resources. He had been in state service every since and had offices in the Public Works Building at Eleventh and N Streets.
He was active during recent sessions of the Legislature in drafting and interpreting the law creating the State Water Resources Board.
Only 10 days ago he appeared at a budget hearing in the State Department of Finance offices to appeal for more legal help, emphasizing that water problems have increased tremendously in recent years, principally because of the Central Valley Project.
ENSIGN IN NAVY
Burroughs was an ensign in the Navy in World War I. During World War II his son, Spencer, Jr. also an ensign, was killed at Okinawa.
Funeral services will be held Monday in the White Mortuary* in Susanville. The Burroughs residence in Sacramento is at 2748 Curtis Way.
*I can clearly remember that Spencer's funeral was held at his brother-in-law, Albert G. Breitweiser, home. DRW | Ephraim Spencer Burroughs

Obituary from the Sacramento Bee dated August 19, 2008.
(This obiturary was written by her brother, Geofrey.)
Nov 15, 1925 - Aug 4, 2008 Brooke was an eclectic. There were few things in life she chose not to explore and, as she would have said, those left unturned were not important. As a young woman she rode horses at a stable in East Sacramento and later during her days at McClatchy High School challenged the august Principal, Sam Pepper, to allow students to enter the high school through the front doors; a battle she lost but a war she won. While she could be an iconoclast, she was also a traditionalist, belonged to Manana, a high school sorority, was editor of the school year book, and took high school sartorial elegance to a new level. She attended UCLA, and worked as a page on the MGM lot (the high point she once said was a kiss on the cheek from Frank Sinatra after delivering a message). She traveled alone whenever possible, observing that it's the only way to meet people. She lived in Sacramento; Palm Springs; Montana; New York; New Jersey; Guadalajara, Mexico; Honolulu; Arizona and Colorado. She was an accomplished photographer and social entertainer of the first magnitude. She did a lot in her life, had fun and left nothing on the table. Brooke passed away while under the care of some wonderful people at the Julia Temple facility in Englewood, Colo. A memorial service will be held in Hawaii in June of 2009. She was predeceased by her parents Olga and Spencer Burroughs, her loving husband Robert Van Zandt, son Burne Dougherty, stepson Keith Van Zandt, brothers Spencer Burroughs Jr. and Trent Burroughs (Maria Luisa). She is survived by daughter Erin O'Brien (Michael), stepson Mark Van Zandt, granddaughters Caitlin O'Brien, Emerald O'Brien, Karen Dougherty (Todd), grandson Patrick Moore, (Michele), two great-grandchildren, brother Geoffrey Burroughs (Mollie). nieces Francesca, Lisa, Megan, nephew Spencer and numerous cousins. | Olga Burroughs

Obituary from the Sacramento Bee, January 10, 2008
Trent Burroughs
A native Sacramentan, Trent was born on April 11, 1930. He passed peacefully into God's care on January 4, 2008. A loving husband and father, he is survived by MarlaLuisa, his wife of 43 year, his daughter Francesca and son-in-law Robert Pearson of Livermore; his sister Brooke VanZandt of Colorado, his brother Geoffrey and sister-in-law Mollie Burroughs of Sacramento, and many nieces and nephews and dear cousins.
Trent's parents, Olga and Spencer Burroughs moved to Sacramento from Susanville in 1922 to the Curtis Park area. Trent graduated from C. K. McClatchy High School and California State University, Sacramento.
After serving in the U.S. Army as an artillery fire control coordinator, he worked for the U.S. Post Office for 32 years. Trent was a gifted Chess player; so much so that a disgruntled neighbor, having found no one to better him in Sacramento, went to San Francisco and brought back a highly rated chess player to challenge him -- after an ardious battle on the chess board they drew. Trent also had an interest in higher mathematics taking such abstruse courses as non-Euclidian geometry and abstract algrebra. As an athlete he was a superlative tennis player and in his younger days an ace receiver for once famous Curtis Park Clippers football team. In his later years he became an accomplished bowler winning a number of local tournaments. He often bowled a 600 series and once was eleven strikes toward the perfect 300 game when he got a nasty split. His only comment was, Mmmm, a high on that one, I think.
A mass of Christian buriai will be held at Immaculate Conception Parish, 3263 First Avenue, Sacramento at 10:00am on Monday, Januray 14, 2008. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the charity of your choice. | Trent Burroughs

The following is from an unpublished manuscript, written by William Barent Wemple, compiler of the first part if this genealogy from 1885-1913, sent to the compiler on September 28, 2000 by Michael Lee Wemple of Bay City, MI.
. . . The compiler of the Wemple Genealogy owes a deep debt of gratitude to her son, David Demerest Cassity, for the very hard work he did in working out this entire branch of the family and getting the various members of it interested sufficiently to submit the necessary facts; without the great assistance rendered it would have been impossible to have perfected this portion of the family and as a token of appreciation his personal history is given below, this being the only concession made to a descendant of a female branch.
The account is an article copied from HISTORY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY edited by Washington Trothingham in 1892:
David D. Cassity's boyhood was passed in his native town of Florida, Montgomery County, NY, where he attended the district schools. . . . the young man was thrown upon his own resources at an early age, and in 1844, when seventeen, found employment as a clerk in a dry goods store in Amsterdam. . . . In 1849 he entered the Farmer's Bank of Amsterdam as a clerk. . . . Through the various positions in the bank he steadily rose - clerk, bookkeeper, teller, assistant cashier and director, until in 1859, . . . he was placed in position of cashier, a position which in country banks and banks in small cities, is the chief executive officer of the institution. . . . Since his retirement from the bank, Mr. Cassidy has given his attention to the improvement of his real estate in Amsterdam, of which his is a large owner. The new Cassidy Block on East Main Street had very recently has been erected and adds much to the beauty and a prosperous aspect of that part of the city, while his conspicuous and handsome residence on the highlands has been much improved and enlarged. . . . | David Demarest Cassidy

Grandma Jane filed a petition in Lassen County Superior Court trying to get Grandpa Joe committed to an insane asylum which reads as follows:
Case #555 Plaintiff: Wemple, J.C., etal
Defendant: Insane 1891
Complaint and Commitment: Insane
Filed January 7, 1891 A.J. Long, Clerk by F.W. Ward, Deputy
To Hon. W.T. Masten, Judge of Superior Court
Eliza J. Wemple respectfully represents that there is now in said County a person named J.C. Wemple who is insane and by reason of insanity dangerous to be at large and is a proper subject for the Insane Asylum and the said Eliza Jane Wemple being duly sworn deposes and says that the foregoing statement is true; wherefore she prays that such action may be had as the law requires and that the said J.C. Wemple may be sent to the Asylum of California.
(signed) Eliza Jane Wemple
Subscribed and sworn to before me this 6th day of January, 1891.
(signed) J.C. Pardee, District Attorney
Phyllis Metz, granddaughter of Joseph C. Wemple, found this in the Lassen County records and sent me her hand drafted copy on March 15, 1995. Phyllis' letter had the following paragraph: Anywhere I looked I couldn't find anything else on Jane's complaint. I guess it was just dropped with no action taken, or if any, it wasn't recorded where I could find it.
It's this compiler's opinion that no action was taken. I suspect that Grandpa Joe had enough influence with the Lassen County officials to just get this thing dropped as the action of an angry, vengeful woman. I would guess that Grandma Jane, after filing the complaint, just let it go with no further action on her part, except she moved out of his home and moved in with her son, Frank, about 6-8 years later.
Obituary from the Susanville LASSEN ADVOCATE, Friday, 2 April 1909, page 3c4:
DEATH OF MRS. J.C. WEMPLE
Another of the pioneer mothers of Honey Lake Valley passed away yesterday morning, April 1st, at the home of her son F.O. Wemple, at Johnstonville. The aged lady had been in poor health for a long time, and her departure hence had been looked for any times before. She came to this valley, if we are correctly informed, in the early sixties, possibly in 1862, and has made her home here ever since that time. She was an exemplary woman, highly respected by all who knew her, and loved for her many estimable qualities by those who knew her best. She was a devoted wife and mother, and by her death she leaves bereaved and aged husband, one daughter, Mrs. Libbie Harris of Elko, Nevada, and five sons - John, N.V., J.C., F.O., and O.E. Wemple, all of whom 'rise up and call her blessed,' and with whom her memory will remain enshrined as a heritage of love.
Funeral services will be held at the old home in Milford, Saturday. | Eliza Jane Christie
