Mrs. Susan (Grandma) Speegle died at the home of her son, Philip Speegle, of Speegleville yesterday afternoon after 5 o'clock, at the extreme age of 87 years. Grandma Speegle came to Speegleville something over forty years ago with her husband and has since lived at that place.
She has witnessed many changes in this county and has seen many hundreds of the old timers pass away into the other world.
Her husband, after whom the little town of Speegleville was named, is one of the most illustrious characters of McLennan county. He was known far and near and was universally loved and respected by every one. He has passed into the spirit world long before and is now in the fond embrace of the one left behind and angels in heaven are watching the happy reunion with mingled tears.
The funeral will be at 5 o'clock this evening and will be largely attended.
