Hers was the ripe age 89 years, 5 months and 22 days. She was the tenth child and last survivor of a family of twelve children. When about five months of age she was removed with her parents to Ohio, coming overland in wagons. In this family of four boys and eight girls one lived to the great age of almost 101 years; a number of others lived into the eighties and nineties. Since she was twenty one years old, Aunt Hattie, the name she was always known by, had lived with her sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Wetzel whom she called "mother". After Mrs. Wetzel's death, seven years ago, Aunt Hattie had lived alone, the last of the family. Aunt Hattie seemed to like every body and everybody liked her. "The law of kindness was in her tongue". She spoke well of everybody. She was possessed of a remarkably strong mind, clear and in full possession of her faculties until the last. She had well defined opinions and ideas on most matters. Evidently a woman of charm and beauty in her younger days, she preserved much of it even into old age. She expecially loved flowers with a passionate devotion. Nothing pleased her more than to carry a bouquet to some sick room, some friend, or the church. She had been a member of the Milford Center M.E. Church for about fifty years. In the church services she greatly delighted, although in recent years she could hear but little of the service. Still she attended even when one would think her too frail or the weather to inclement. She preferred to live in her own house and wait on her self as long as possible. A few days before her death this was found impossible, and reluctantly she allowed herself to be removed to the home of Mrs. Turner and Mrs. Lehman. Here every care and attention was given her. She kept much of the time and finally passed out of life so easily that those near by hardly thought she was dying. Of the relatives who mourn their loss is one nephew, Mr. Arthur Wetzel, a host of great nephews and nieces, and a great number of great great nephews and nieces, and we know not how many great great great nephews and nieces. Beside these, there is a sill greater number who loved and admired her, measured only by the saying "every one she knew and who knew her." Funeral services were held Saturday morning at 10 o'clock at the M.E. Church, conducted by Rev. Charles L.Thomas, pastor, and interment in the Milford Center cemetery in charge of A.E.Mitchell & Co., morticians.
