    Notes 
    • Tuesday morning there passed from earth one of its kindliest souls, when 'Aunt Betsy' Whitford died at the home of her daughter, Mrs Frank Thayer, at White Oak, about five miles out the Spring Creek road. For some time 'Aunt Betsy' had been ill and the end was not unexpected. Mrs Whitford was born May 31, 1827, on a farm not over half a mile from the place where she closed her eyes in her last sleep. She was the daughter of the late Frank and Fanny Kerr and lived all her life in the neighborhood where she first saw the light. Quite early in life she was united in marriage to Hiram H Whitford, who passed away seventeen years ago. Mrs Whitford is survived by two daughters, Mrs Frank Thayer, and Miss Mary Whitford, who lived with her mother. Funeral services over the remains will be held Friday morning at 11 o'clock at the house, Rev N A McIntyre of Corry officiating. The interment will follow in Union cemetery. Mrs Whitford was one of the oldest women in eastern Crawford. Everyone knew and loved her. Her death, coming in the sere and yellow days of her life, will be sincerely mourned.
