Mrs. Elizabeth Yount, age 90, a life-long resident of Clinton county, died at the Home hospital at Lafayette Tuesday evening.

Elizabeth (Platt) Yount was born in Clinton county February 11, 1832. She was united in marriage on December 19, 1853, to Hamilton Yount, who preceded her in death a number of years ago. Practically her entire life was spent in Clinton county, where she was well known and highly respected. For a number of years after the death of her husband she lived in Mulberry. Recently, however, she had made her home with her daughter, Mrs. J. L. Black, of Rural Route 8. She was a member of the Mulberry Methodist Episcopal church, in which she was ever an active worker until her health failed.

Six children survive. They are Mrs. J. L. Black, Mrs. Joseph Hackerd, of Mulberry; C. B. Yount, of Frankfort; Marvin Yount, of Mulberry; Henry Yount, of near Mulberry; and Melvin Yount, of Brookston. Among the survivors are thirty-one grandchildren and thirty-nine great-grandchildren.
