  • Notes 
    • Leah Brubacher, wife of Isaiah B. Martin near here, died suddenly last Saturday. She retired on Friday evening seemingly in good health. In the morning she did not feel well and passed away before a doctor could reach the place. Deceased was 50 years old and leaves her sorrowing husband and three children, who have the sympathy of the community in their sad bereavement. One son died within the last year.
