At her home in Andover, June 5, 1892, Mrs. Calista A. Baxter Witter, aged 80 years, 8 months and 6 days.
Mrs. Witter had been spared to a ripe old age to her family of sons and daughters, besides many friends and the church she loved most dearly. At the time of her death she and her daughter, Thankful, were keeping house most pleasantly in Andover.
In early life she made profession of religion and became a member of the Hartsville Church and continued her walk until death. Her pleasant, consistent ways won her many friends, warm and tender, in the church as well as out of it. Her life was trustful and her faith gave her comfort in the dying hour.
Eld. Hiram P. Burdick assisted in the service. Sermon from Matt. 24: 44. Funeral and burial at Hartsville, June 7, 1892, at 2 P. M. J. S.
