“Mrs. Josephine Covalt, age 72, died at her home in Williamsport at one o’clock Tuesday afternoon after an illness of gall stones. She was the widow of Jack Covalt, who died several years ago. She was a member of the Methodist church. The nearest survivors are nieces and nephews.” – July 30, 1936
“Mrs. Josephine Horn Covalt was born in Westerville, Ohio, April 20, 1864, and passed away at her home in Williamsport on July 28, 1936, age 72 years, 3 months and 8 days. She was the daughter of Samuel and Ellen Purdue Horn, who were among the Pioneers of Warren County. She was a twin of the late Joseph Horn who preceded her in death ten years ago, and was the last survivor of her family.
In 1887 she was married to John W. Covalt and became a true mother to his motherless children. To this union one daughter was born, Ruth, who passed away at the age of nineteen, just after entering college, a sorrow she was never able to overcome.
She was a competent business woman, having managed her farm through all the depression, that drove many men to the wall, and only last spring quit on account of her health. She was a very active woman and told the writer if she moved to town, it would only be to wait for the call to come Home, for which she didn’t have long to wait.
She was a member of the Methodist Church and a great lover of her home, seldom leaving it only when business called her, but always making others feel welcome there.
She leaves to mourn her loss, two step-daughters, Mrs. Pearl Van Reed of Texas and Mrs. Arby Haupt of Williamsport; six nephews, four nieces; 9 step-grandchildren and a host of friends. Her parents and four brothers and two sisters preceded her to the Great Beyond, where parings never come.” - August 6, 1936
