COUNTY'S OLDEST CITIZEN IS DEAD
MRS. SARAH ANSPAUGH NEARLY 102 YEARS OLD
Passed Away Friday Noon After Shock from Fall in Her Home---Enjoyed Centennial Celebration
Mrs. Sarah Anspaugh, Steuben county's oldest citizen, passed away at the home of her son, Jacob, east of Alvarado, in Richland township, on Friday, June 24, at the advanced age of nearly one hundred and two years. Mrs. Anspaugh had been in her usual health of late, following a sickness, a few months ago. She attempted without assistance to get out of her bed Friday morning and fell, fracturing one of her limbs. Death a few hours later was due to shock from the accident.
The family and friends of Mrs. Anspaugh celebrated the centennial of her birth at the home of Jacob Anspaugh a year ago last October on which occasion nearly four hundred people called to pay their respects and partake of a beautiful dinner prepared in her honor. She was then in good heath and enjoyed the occasion greatly. It is remarked that several persons of younger years who were present on that occasion have preceded her in death.
Funeral services were held for Mrs. Anspaugh at the Mt.
Pleasant U. B. church Sunday afternoon, conducted by the pastor, Rev. H. R. Peter. Burial was made in the cemetery
adjoining the church. The children, four sons and two
daughters, acted as pall bearers at the funeral.

She leaves to mourn their loss four sons and two daughters, Jacob Anspaugh and Amanda Flegal, of near Edon, Samuel, John and Grant Anspaugh, and Hester Kirk, of Angola.
