Mrs. Lucy J. Terry Is Dead; Lived to Age of 102 Years.
West Lafayette Centenarian Lived During Terms of 25 pesidents of U.S. and remained active until last. She saw this country develop from primitive beginnings.
At the age of 102 years, Mrs. Lucy Jane Terry, one of the oldest women in Indiana, passed quietly into the sleep of death at 8 o'clock Thursday evening. The life of the centenarian came to a peaceful end at the Home Hospital, where she had been taken Sunday morning after a physical breakdown. Infirmities of age caused her demise. Mrs. Terry was regarded as the oldest person in the country and this section of the state and was one of the extremely few centenarians this community has ever known. For the past thirty years she had made her home with a son, Charles
Terry at 421 State street, West Lafayette. She was possessed of a remarkable physique, through small of stature and was active until a few days ago. Her long
life was marked by the absence of illness. Last Saturday however, she suffered a breakdown, and after being taken to the hospital Sunday; gradually grew weaker until the end came.
It was her lot to live during the terms of twenty-five presidents of the United States, all of who save three, have passed on. She passed through wars ranging from petty Indian struggles to the great world conflict of 1914 to 1918.
