She was born in Crawfordsville on Feb 25, 1859, and only a few months ago that dreaded disease, consumption, fastened its fatal clutches on her pure life and a worthy spirit sped happily to its giver.

The funeral services were conducted by Rev. EB Thomas at the family residence. Tuesday morning after which the remains were laid to rest in Oak Hill Cemetery. - kbz
