Mrs. Castary J. Duvall
This lady was born in Loudon County, Va., Oct 27th, 1821. Her maiden name was Jones. When quite young she removed with her parents to Belmont co., Ohio. Here she was united in marriage to Elihu Duvall, April 1st 1846. In 1857 the family moved to Macon county, Ill., and here the husband died in Sept., 1862 and the wife on the 10th inst., aged 57 years, 10 months and 17 days. Four children -one son and three daughters- survive. One of the daughters is the wife of Prof. Heaton, of this county. The other children are at the old home, south of Newburg. No children were ever more lovingly attached to a mother than were these.
Mrs. Duvall when quite young united with the Methodist Church. Soon after her marriage herself and husband connected themselves with the Christian Church, being baptized by Dr. J. B.

Her life was upright and her end was peace. The memory and state of such is blessed.
