Kate DeLawter died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. O. A. Means, Logansport, on Sept. 14, 1906, after an illness of two years.

Deceased was stricken with paralysis, at her home here, about two years ago. She gradually grew worse, and her daughter, Mrs. O. A. Means of Logansport, took her mother home with her, where, during all the weary weeks and months, tenderly cared for her. Kate (everybody here called her Kate, for everybody knew her) continued to grow worse and finally the spirit took its flight.

Deceased was born in Cass county July 9, 1846, where she lived until she came to Bunker Hill eight or nine years ago. She was 61 years, 2 months and five days of age.

Funeral services were conducted by Rev. McNeally at Pipe Creek Christian church, Sept. 17, burial at Falls of Pipe Creek.

Deceased was known to nearly everybody in Bunker Hill at the time she was stricken and was respected by all who knew her. A plain, unassuming woman, honest as the day is long, with the happy faculty of attending to her own affairs, she had many friends who sincerely mourn her departure. She is survived by her daughter, as before stated, by her brother, Jacob DeLawter and her sister, Mrs. N. J. Hoover to whom we extend our earnest sympathy and condolence.
