MRS. AARON S. THORNBURG
Born July 9, 1840
Died February 16, 1912
Death entered the home of one of the pioneer families of Mitchell County last Friday night and called Mrs. A. S. Thornburg of Orchard.
The funeral services were held at the home Sunday afternoon and were conducted by Rev. Court of Osage. There was a large gathering of the friends and neighbors present, and every evidence manifested of the esteem in which she was held by those who knew her for so many years.
All of the children were preent except two who are living on the Pacific coast.
Mrs. Thornburg had been in poor health for about two years. The cause of death was a stoke of paralysis Wednesday evening from which she lapsed into unconsciousness and passed away in peaceful sleep.
Mrs. Thornburg, whose maiden name was Mercy Gould, was born in Alexandra Bay, New York, July 9, 1840. She spent her girlhood on one of the beautiful Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence river. She came west with her parents in 1855 and located on a farm in Mitchell county near a little settlement on the Cedar river called Watertown. Here she was married, December 13, 1858, to A. S. Thornburg who had also pioneered to the news state from the east. Shortly after their marriage they moved onto a farm just east of Orchard where she spent the remainder of her life.
