HOLADAY, Benjamin M., The Paoli Weekly News (April 7, 1875)
The friends and acquaintances of Benjamin M. Holaday were greatly shocked to learn, on Saturday morning last (April 3, 1875), of his death, which occurred at 3 o'clock that morning from a congestive chill. Hr. Holaday was sick but a short time and almost from his first attack it was evident that he could not recover. He was attended in his last sickness by his friend and family physician, Dr. Lee Hazlewood, who did all that medical skill could do to save the dying man, but it was of no avail. He died peacefully and calmly, surrounded by his entire family and a large number of friends and neighbors by whom he was justly held in great estimation. In the death of Mr. Holaday this county looses an old pioneer, he having resided here for more than half a century. He was born in Chatham County, North Carolina, in 1815 and removed with his mother to this county in 1826, be being the last survivor out of a family of ten brothers and sisters except two, Joshua Holaday and Hannah Hadley, who lives at this time in Wayne County, Illinois, and in Parke County, Indiana respectively. Mr. Holaday was twice married and the father, we believe, of six children five sons, namely Vandever, Patrick, William, Joel and Henry Holaday and one daughter, Mrs. Sarah Stroud, the wife of Mr. George W. Stroud. His first wife was Cynthia Noblitt, to whom he was married Dec. 2, 1841. Mrs. Holaday died in 1857. He was again married Jan. 29, 1861, to Samaria Danner, who with her only son, Henry, survive him.
He was buried on Sunday last at Rock Springs burying ground. The large attendance at his funeral demonstrates the esteem in which he was held in this community.
In the death of uncle Ben Holaday we lose a warm hearted, generous citizen and a truly good man as well as one of the old landmarks of the county. We can assure the grief stricken family that in their affliction the have the sympathy of a very large circle of friends and acquaintances who sincerely mourn with them. Submitted byTom Agan.

BEATTY, Nancy Ann, Spring Valley Herald (August 14, 1930)
Nancy Ann Moore Beatty, daughter of Captain William and Mary Jane Moore, was born in Orange County, Greenfield Township, on November 17, 1857. She was the oldest of three children. One brother, John, preceded her in death, and her brother, Jasper, of Birdseye, also a half brother, James Moore of Muncie, three half-sisters, Clara Gilliatt, Emma Robbins and Lucy Bentley, survive, and one half-sister, Ella Launis, preceded her in death. God called her home on August 1, 1930, age 72 years, 7 months and 14 days.
On June 9, 1878 she was married to John R. Beatty, To them were born six sons, Orville, Addison, Herbert, William, Clarence and Anderson. The husband, two sons, Orville of French Lick, Clarence of California, five grandchildren and one great grandchild, survive.
At an early age she confessed Christ and has remained a faithful christian. She believed a christian meant more than just attending church, for when a neighbor or friend needed help, comfort or a kind word, she was ever ready to help them. She ministered to the sick and looked for the silver-lining, thus bringing joy instead of sadness to those about her.
With her passing the church and community have lost a helpful worker, a faithful christian and a good woman. The family had lost a noble companion and a kind loving mother. God loved all these. Her kind deeds, cheerful smiles and hopeful words of sympathy will be missed but believing and trusting in her God will make this great sorrow easier to bear. Those with whom she came in contact will ever remember the courage and splendid woman for these are the things that live in the heart, and by her passing on before, heaven has been drawn earthward, and we believe she went home to her Master "laden with sheaves and not empty handed."

CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank our friends and neighbors for the kindness and sympathy in words or deeds shown us during the sickness and death of our dear wife and mother. We especially thank Brother Richard Bex for his consoling words, the choir for the beautiful song service, the doctors and the undertaker, Mr. Ben Schmutzler.
