Wallace, near Stilesville, Indiana Oct 11, 1909, aged 67 years 8 months 14 days. She was married to Wm. Ellett on Sept 25, 1866.

To this union were born 5 children, 3 of whom Otho, Loda and Silva are still living; Medeona and Ethel having died in early childhood. She was anxious to go and meet her death children, father and mother, sister, brother and other dear relatives and friends who have gone before her. Her only regret was to leave her beloved husband and dear children who are still living and thus break up the happy home. Thus another home has been desolated by the messenger of death.  While the family is reconciled to the will of the Divine Ruler still they realize and feel that they have lost a dear one. She leaves a husband, two sons, one daughter, four sisters, two brothers and two grandchildren besides a great number of friends to mourn her loss. How desolate the home For mother is not there, Angels have taken her out of our care; Well have we loved her; But God loved more, He has called her away to that bright happy shore.
