Misc. Notes
Aunt Susan Triplett, after an illness of ten or eleven days, died Wednesday night, and was buried near Bewleyville, Thursday P.M. at 4 o'clock. She was 84 years old the 6th of December, had lived on the place where she died, - - years, being one of the pioneers of the country. She had been twice married and was the mother of eight children, five of whom are living. She was a member of the Baptist Church at Bewleyville and for years has lived a christian life. For a long time she has been "waiting", but death always has its sting and we feel it's hard to suffer her loss. We extend sympathy to the bereaved ones.
