MRS. SYLVESTER HARTSOOK died Tuesday at 9 o'clock a.m. at her home over on Little River and was buried yesterday at Bethel Cemetery (*see note.) She had been sick a long time, every effort made to restore her former health, but to no avail. She was a good Christian woman and was a member of the Bethel M.E. class for years. The family friends in this vicinity have the entire sympathy of the people.
