The death of Mrs. Frank Nolan occurred at their home here in Francesville at an early hour last Monday morning. The cause of her death was nervous prostration from which she has been troubled for a long time, and because of it her health had declined rapidly during the past three weeks. The funeral was held at the Christian church yesterday afternoon, Rev. E. J. Harris officiating. Burial was in the cemetery east of town.
In the death of Mrs. Frank Nolan this community naturally feels the loss of one of its most devoted christian women, a most beautiful type of personage, who kindly devotion to a venerable mother, now gone, during that part of her invalid life of more than twenty-five years, will linger in pleasant memory with relatives and friends long after time has alleviated many things. Her life, so worthy of emulation went out gently, just as its span of usefulness began to reach into another half century. Such was the beautiful character of this gently frail little woman to whom the community paid it last tribute in eulogy and song but yesterday. Mrs. Nolan was born in Francesville fifty-two years ago. She was the youngest daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs John T. Bledsoe, prominent in the business and social life of this community many years ago. At the age of eighteen she became a member of the Christian Church and during the years that followed was active in the progress of the spiritual and social affairs of the church. In 1891 she was married to Frank Nolan. Besides the husband she leaves one sister, Mrs. James Hayworth, of Crawfordsville; two brothers, Harry W. Bledsoe of this place and C. M. Bledsoe of Ft. Wayne, Ind.
