Mrs. Jane Albright departed this life Thursday, Feb. 6, 1902, at the age of 94 years, 3 months and 9 days. She was a native of South Carolina, and was born in 1806.
With her husband she moved to a 70 acre farm east of Lawson, in the year 1859, where she has since resided. She has lived 40 years on this little home of 70 acres without going to even one of her neighbors.
For a number of years she has resided by herself and has done her own cooking, housework and outdoor work, up to to a few weeks ago, when she was taken sick.
The little log cabin in which she lived, was one of the old time homes, with an old fashioned fire place, where she prepared her meals, never cooking on a cook stove in her life. Everything in the house dated back to old time ways of housekeeping, and those who knew her best say that furniture in the house has never been rearranged since the death of her husband some 36 years ago. Her home was a model of neatness and aside from the household duties, she found enjoyment in taking care of chickens, raising garden and other out door labor by which she earned her daily bread.
A busy, kindly, unselfish, though well rounded life is finished.
