Elizabeth Hinkle.

Mrs. Elizabeth Hinkle, who passed away at her home Thursday, December 28, 1916, was born sixty-eight years ago in this county, and has spent her entire life on or near the place of her birth. Her maiden name was Elizabeth Boldoser. It will be remembered by nearly everyone that the husband met death in a fire only a few years ago.

Mr. and Mrs. Hinkle were the parents of ten children, seven of whom are living, all in this county near the old home place. They are Henry, John, Peter, Ernest, Latitia Hill, Ella Cook and Jennie Branon.

Mrs. Hinkle had been in failing health for about three years, but it was not until Christmas day that she became serious. She was up and around as usual and helped prepare the Christmas dinner. She was taken with a chill which developed into pneumonia and she died the following Thursday.

The deceased was one of a family of thirteen children and is the twelfth to be taken by death. Mrs. S.M. Duttweiler, who lives in Lockridge, is now the only survivor.

She had been a member of the Mt. Ayre Church of God for twenty-five years and was one of the most faithful workers. During all these years she was a most earnest christian, never failing to show by word and deed that she was happy in her faith. Hers was a kind and generous heart, full of love and devotion for all.

Funeral services were held from the Mt. Ayre church on Sunday, December 31st and the remains were laid to rest in the Greenmound cemetery. Six grandsons acted as pallbearers.
