Mrs. Nancy Adney, wife of John Adney, 78 years of age, died this morning at her home on Florence street.
The cause of death was paralysis of the throat which resulted in a decay of the organs of the throat and made it impossible for her to take any nourishment and she practically died of starvation.
The hunger and suffering was described as being terrible. She had not eaten solid food for two weeks and since last Monday had not tasted a drop of water. It was necessary to keep her under the influence of drugs. When the influence of drugs subsided, she was able to talk to her husband and children. She requested that they pray for her death to relieve the great suffering.
Mrs. Adney was a faithful christian, a good neighbor, excellent help in the sick room of her friends and was loved by all who knew her. She was not afraid to die and prayed for the end to come. She told her family that after death there would be no suffering and that she would be happy.
Mrs. Adney was born at Biddles Mills, Ky. Her first husband, Mr. Hulgan, died and she later married John Adney and came to Marion in 1873. All of her children are by her first husband.
Survivors include her husband John, three daughters; Mrs. Margaret Bush of Connersville, Ind., Mrs. Mary Hamilton of Kennard, Ind., Mrs. Callie Brown of Brownsville, Ind., two sons; William Hulgan and Elward Hulgan of Marion; four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
A funeral service was held on Monday afternoon at the First Methodist church, with Dr. Madison Swadener officiating. Burial was made in the IOOF cemetery, Marion.
