OBITUARY NOTICES
At the family residence, three miles south of Palestine, Kosciusko county, Ind. Mrs. Deacon James Garvin, in the 83rd year of her age, fell asleep January 30, 1891. She was born March 24, 1808 in Fairfield county, Ohio. January 18, 1829, she was united in marriage to Mr. James Garvin, by Elder Sytes, and in the fall of 1835 the family emigrated to Indiana and settled on his brother's land on Turkey Creek Prairie, where the family remained for three years. They afterwards settled on a piece of land which they purchased from the government, and which is near Burket, in Seward township, where Mr. and Mrs. Garvin have since resided. She was one of the nine members who constituted the Yellow Creek Baptist church, being baptized by Father Martin. Afterwards she was connected with the Franklin Baptist church, which was organized at her own home, and finally joined the Sevastopol Baptist church, being a consistent member of that church at the time of her death. She was a pioneer settler of this county, and was the mother of ten children, four of whom have preceded her to that better land, two sons and four daughters remaining to mourn their loss; also, nineteen grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren. Of the six children, all but one have made a religious profession; also the greater part of the grandchildren have given their hearts to God. Mrs. Garvin's religious and church life extended over a period of about fifty-one years. She was always ready to do all she could to sustain the Master's cause. As a wife she was affectionate and kind; as a mother most fond and indulgent; as a friend steadfast and true; and as a neighbor she was beloved by all; for, in times of sickness, she had been ever ready to lend a helping hand and minister to the wants of the poor. Aside from her own family, they raised six orphan boys, three to manhood. In the last few years of her life she threw off the cares and anxieties of this world and thought as a child only to be loved. In her last few days of suffering--for her sickness was of short duration--her mind went back to the hymns she sung in former years, and she sang parts of "Come thou fount of every blessing." The funeral services took place on Sunday morning, February 1, at the Palestine church, Rev. Bragg of the Sevastopol Baptist church, officiating. The mortal remains were followed to the grave in the Palestine cemetery by a large company of mourning relatives and sympathizing friends, where they were deposited to await the resurrections of the just. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them."

DEATH OF CENTENARIAN
Mrs. Houghtling Passes Away in her 103rd Year
Resided for Many Years with Her Son in Noble County, Just across the Kosciusko County Line
In the death of Mrs. Harriet Houghtling, which occurred at her residence, a half-mile south of Cromwell, Noble county, on the 18th inst., was marked the culmination of what may well be regarded as a most remarkable career. Born as she was when the nineteenth century was only one year old, her birthdays were the mile stones which recorded more extraordinary historical data than was ever crowded into any previous hundred years. The exact date of the birth of this interesting and remarkable character was January 20th, 1801, her birthplace being Lebanon, Mass. On August 12, 1818, she was married to Elias Houghtling, who with his young bride, soon
thereafter removed to Bradford county, Pa. In 1844, with the progress of empire, Mr. Houghtling, wife and children set their faces toward the setting sun, this time settling in the county of Tusarawas, Ohio, and again in 1872, in response to the same influence, they removed to Leipsic, Putnam county, and finally in 1886, at the ripe old age of 84 years, when no one but the hardiest of the hardy would dream of assuming the hardships and inconveniences incident to a change of residence so remote, Mother Houghtling moved to Noble county, where her declining days were spent and where her eventful and useful life came to a peaceful close.
Mrs. Houghtling was the mother of eight children, six sons and two daughters, the names of the children being, Ira Harriet, Adam, Horace, Esther, Norman, Steward and Charles. Three of her sons went west in the early 50's and never returned, and so far as known have never been heard from, while Adam was accidentally killed by the falling of a heavy barn beam, and Harriet, Esther and Norman died at their homes. There are sixteen grandchildren, thirty-six great-grandchildren and fourteen great-great-grandchildren. Mother Houghtling, through her extreme advancement in years, became a constant care and was cared for by her son Steward, assisted by her grandchildren, all of whom took great pleasure in extending to the centenarian their helpful, tender kindnesses. Mother Houghtling's relation to the church was ever of that order which challenged the admiration of all who knew her. She was a member of the old school Baptist church for a short period, after which she became identified with the Methodist Episcopal church and remained a loyal member of that organization up to the time of her death, at the age of 102 years, 10 months and 28 days. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. A. Hatfield,
assisted by Rev. J. Dunkle, at the United Brethren church at Indian Village. The remains were laid to rest in the Ligonier cemetery.
