Sarah E. Kistler, Widow of David Kistler, Died Wednesday Night — Lived on Same Farm Sixty Years
Came to Hamilton County From Edinburg Early in Fifties
Mrs. Sarah E. Kistler, aged ninety and the widow of David Kistler, died at the home of her granddaughter, Mrs. George Modes, in Cicero, at 8 o'clock Wednesday night following a brief illness. The funeral will be held at the M. E. church in Cicero at 2:30 o'clock Friday afternoon and the interment will take place in the Cicero cemetery.
Mrs. Kistler was in good health considering her age until last Saturday when she took to her bed and from that time until the end her decline was rapid. She was one of the oldest women of the county and it is recalled that she was in Noblesville during the centennial held in October and took much interest in the program.
Her husband died nineteen years ago and there are two children who survive—Mrs. Samuel Webb, of Cicero, and Mrs. T. S. Founts, of Altamont, Kansas.
Mrs. Kistler was born in Edinburg, Ind., and came to Hamilton county in April, 1853, and her marriage to David Kistler occurred December, 25, 1856. She spent all of her married life on what is known as the Kistler farm southwest of Cicero, until five years ago when she went to Cicero to live with her granddaughter. She became identified with the Methodist church when a girl and remained faithful to the church during life. There are but few women who are more widely known in the northern part of the county than Mrs. Kistler.
