A CENTENARIAN Great-aunt of Mrs. John 1 Bolinger Lived to Age of 101 Years. ’ DIED AT COLUMBUS Aunt of Late George and Joshua Bright—Many Relatives Here. ' A Columbus (O.) newspaper gives the following account of the death of , a lady 101 years old. a great-aunt . of Mrs. John Bolinger of this city, who received the paper, and an aunt of her mother, Mrs. Alva Aurand, 1 and of the late George and Joshua I Bright, having many other relatives here: 1 “Mrs. Catherine Leohner Bright, was born June 23, 1816, near Bre- ■ men, Fairfield county, where she i spent her girlhood days. Passed to ' the higher life August 28, 1917 —101 i years, two months and five days. “After her marriage to Joseph B. Bright they located near Logan, in Hocking county, Ohio, where they . resided during the majority of the , years of their married life. Over . twenty years ago they moved to Franklin count, Ohio, lived at Flint Station, Westerville and Columbus. “She was the mother of thirteen children, six boys and seven girls, of which four boys and three girls are now living, to-wit: Malinda Nunemaker, Joseph L. Bright. John A. Bright and WJesley R. Bright. Columbus; William S. Bright of Wellston; Sarah A. Blackstone of Logan and Margaret B. Rutter of Westerville. These, with many grandchildren, relatives and friends are left to mourn their loss. “At the age of twelve years she united with the Evangelical church in ' which she remained about six years, then moved to Hocking county, Ohio, and there being no church there, she helped organize a JTnited Brethren Mission in an old tog school house near Logan, Ohio. Soon after, she aided in building a United Brethren church known as Bethany, located on Old Town creek near Logan; identified herself with same and has been a member of the United Brethren church about eighty-two years, totaling a membership of eighty-eight years. "She lived in Logan when perhaps nine-tenths of the present incorporate limits were in the virgin forest and barely enough inhabitants to | have an old time wood chopping and quilting, or an apple cutting and apple butter boiling. “She was a grand, loving and ( faithful Christian mother, an attend-1 , ant of church from the cradle to the grave, always persistent and untiring' in her efforts to further the interests of the church and for the uplift of ’ society. “She was of German and English' descent. Her ancestors were people' 1 of great longevity. Her father pass-| ed to the higher life at the age of eighty-two years, her mother at the age of ninety-five years, her brother, i ■ Jesse Leohner, of Lancaster, judge and member of the house of repre-. sentatives, at the age of seventy-eight years, her brother, Rev. Abraham Leohner, of Colfax, Ohio, at eightyseven years, and Lydia Miller at eighty-two years. Other sisters and brothers at the ages from seventy-' four to eighty-five years; three j nieces at the age of eighty-four, eighty-eight and ninety years. “'Her father and mother were southerners, raised in Rockingham county. Old Virginia, and left the old dominion about one hundred and three years ago. Names of parents —George Leohner and Susannah Rhoades. The Leohners were earnest and strong adherents to the Christian religion. Their geniality, ' sociability ami kindness were strong factors in securing to them the love and esteem of those around them. | "These trials, together with a good . Christian life were characteristic of ! Mother Bright. The scorching sum- ' pier sun or the rigid winter storms I would not deter her from attending - church, and she said: 'I never get • sick from attending church.’ i “It can be said of her that she nev- - er lived but the one life —a good, ; faithful Christian life. It is intert esting to hear her tell of what she i has experienced and of the great 1 changes that have taken place dur- > ing the one hundred and one years -of her life. We will not attempt to repeat any of them, except what she said one evening after the Columbus flood, which she' had just passed f through. • “In speaking to her son. J. L.. she ’ said: ‘Well. 1 have been chased by ' the Indians, saw the stars fall, saw r Halley's comet twice, lived through three wars, and passed through the Columbus flood. No. I want to go to

my long home before any other calamity befalls me.' "An Indian—old Dick—lived with her parents about six years, when she (was a little girl “Mrs. Bright has been a most interesting figure In the life of the Avondale United Brethren church, where she was a regular attendant at the Mission conducted in 1901, on the site of the present church. It was she who broke the ground at the commencing of the new church edifice and again at the laying of the cornerstone she was present and sang a hymn, and when the church was dedicated in 1964. she was again on the program. The pastor. Rev. A. J Wagner, and the members never failed to honor her with a special service on the occasion of her many birthdays, including the ona hundredth, June, 1916. "Her home life and Christian influence emanated from a soul so full of. radiation, were truly commendable, j But she lias passed to that radiant ’ shore where she rests and will weep no more. “These floral tributes speak vol- ' umes. and are indicative of the love, veneration and appreciation in which she was held by loying friends. Stars instead of flowers, will be her deco- j rations hereafter. Her relation to the church, to her associates and to society, are discontinued and her work is done. She rests at home. “J. L.
