Katherine BRENNER belonged to a family of rugged pioneers. Her father, during the latter part of his life, made his home with Jacob BROWN, who died only a few years ago.
Three of her sisters, each of them being more than three score and ten years old have died during the past two years. Two of her brothers, Godfrey BRENNER, who lives on South Main street, and Jacob BRENNER, who lives in Center township, are well advanced in years.
She had been enjoying very good health until about four weeks ago when she fell and broke her leg. Not recovering from the shock, she passed away. Her remains were laid to rest in Brown's cemetery.
