BRICKIN, Hannah

Source: Greencastle Banner and Times 6 Nov 1896 p 8

The death of Mrs. Hannah Brickin, a colored lady, occurred Saturday evening of old age. She was commonly reported by those who knew her to be 103 years of age while others say she was not quite so old. She came here from Marion County, Ky in 1888 and has since then made her home in the city and at her daughters, Mrs. Nichols, just north of the city where she was when her death occurred. Beside Mrs. Nichols, the aged lady had some 10 or 12 children. Up to the last hour before her death, she was laughing and talking with her grandchildren and she had always been usually hearty. The funeral occurred this afternoon at 2 o’clock at the Baptist Church on Hanna street. - kbz
