Died. Sunday, May 24, at the residence of her only daughter, Mrs. Alfred Armstrong, at Marl borough, this county, M rs. Jerusha Holt,aged sixtyseven years, ten months and twentytwo days. Mrs. Holt was born July 5, 1*23, in Posey County. Indiana. Her parents moved to New York when she was but two years old, but soon afterreturned to Indiana, residing at Y orktown. She is best known at Delphi where she lived, a greater portion of her life and where she leaves many of her truest and best friends, who follow her in their thoughts to the blessed home beyond the dark river. At an early* ageske united with the Universalists and remained a faithfu and consistent Christian until her death. A terrible sufferer for many months of a terrible malady, she was quietly hopeful through it aIL Ever thoughtful of those around her she never complained. Her one desire for living was that she might aid her grand-children to become useful men and women. That she could accomplish this purpose is abundantly exemplified in the lives of those who had already passed out of her care. Her dear friends have lost a tender and painstaking companion; her relatives, a thoughtful and loving grandmother, our community has been called upon to mourn the departure of a thoughtful Christian soul. Her funeral service was largely attended, after which the body was taken to Delphi for interment
