She leaves two sons, John O., druggist, and James Al, blacksmith, and two daughters, Lavinia, wife of J.E. Whaples, and Mary E. wife of George Hewlett, and eighteen grandchildren and one great grandchild, all living in Newtonia precinct.

One by one the old people are dropping off, and soon a new generation will succeed them. It is with great sadness they are given up, but their works are finished, and they go to eternal rest. * Source: The Newton County News published in Newtonia by the Mize sisters
