The Old Settlers Pass to the Shore Beyond.
Mrs. Abigal Luce, one of the early settlers of this locality, was called to the shore eyond Saturday evening after an illness of only twenty-six hours.
On Friday she was in her usual health and ate a hearty dinner. About 6 o'clock that evening she was stricken with hemorrhage of the brain, and never regained consciousness.
Mrs. Luce was born in Butler county, Ohio, 73 years ago. She became a member of the Christian church in her girlhood, and has ever been a consistent member of that church.
She came to this place many years ago with her husband, who long since preceded her to the other shore. Four children were born to them, two of whom, William H. and Wheldon, survive to mourn her loss.
