She had resided in this township seventy years, having lived for sixty-one years in the house where she died. Her family is a prominent one, always looked up to in the community. Of a kind, sunny disposition, ever ready with a word of cheer or a helpful act the deceased had, in the long years of her life, won for herself a host of friends, all of whom will mourn with a keen sense of personal loss the passing on of the kindly old lady.
