Mrs. Lola E. Osborne and Mrs. Maria Case, who died last week, were the oldest citizens of this vicinity and among the oldest in this and the surrounding counties. Their ages totaled more than 192 years. Each of them lived for many years and died on the homesteads which they entered with the government in the pioneer days of the state.--New Sharon Star.
