119 By Times Special RICHMOND, Ind., Dec. 3. Alone and unmarked is a little mound of fresh earth In the Crown Hill cemetery at Centerville. It is the grave of Wayne County's oldest woman, who died a few day3 ago at the age of, as near as can be estimated. 119 years. She had been an inmate of the county infirmary since she was 40. Weird is the story of her life. Many years ago, she and her sister, then only little children, were found wandering in the woods In the northern part of the county. She was named Mary Jane and with her sister waa given a home among residents of the community until 1884, when they were placed in the infirmary'. Mary June's sister died about forty years ago. Neither ever spoke a word. When Mary Jane was found she was playing with two bones. This strange habit she kept up until her death, wearing out hundreds of pairs, dying with her long silence unbroken, and with the precious playthings in her hands. Supt. J. L. May states that she always enjoyed good health. No services were held when she was buried. No marker was placed at her grave. The rain will beat down the soil, grass will cover the new earth, perchance a flower will bloom over her lonely resting place and soon cnly a memory will remain of the strange, silent woman.

PASTOR SAYS LOVE IS GREATEST THING IN ENTIRE WORLD Rev, Gunsoius Bases Sermon on New Commandment of Jesus, “Love is the greatest thing in the universe," declared the Rev. Charles H. Gunsoius Sunday night at the Brlghtwood Congregational Church while preaching on “The New Commandment.” "Christian love is the only kind of love in which there is no rivalry, no jealousy.” he said. “Christ gave a new commandment unto His disciples to love one another and to practice the golden rule. “Self-giving Is the law of Christian living. Self denial for the sake of others Is Chrlst-like and God like. No evil can survive the sunlight of the love of God aglow in the heart of man. “The glory of Christian love is Its refusal of monopoly. The man whose heart Is aflame with love Is a spiritual Napoleon. The colored sunsets and starry Heavens, the beautiful mountains and the shining sea, the woods and the flowers, all these are not half so beautiful as a soul that is serving Jesus out of love. “War, sins or death, nothing shall separate us from the love of Christ. All earthy things will pass away, but God's love abideth forever. “Christ gave anew meaning to love. ‘Amur’ had come to mean lust. For this reason ‘carltas’ (charity) was used. Now abideth faith, hope and love, but the greatest of these is love,” Rev. Gunsoius said. He based his sermon on the text, “A new commandment I give unto you. That ye love one another, even as I have loved you.”
