    Ella Kesler, 60, widow of T. P. Kesler, deceased, and a resident of Noble County for 37 years, died at the home of her daughter, Dr. Alta Boram of South Bend, Wednesday. Death was due to pneumonia which she contracted while visiting her daughter in South Bend. She was born Sept. 8, 1857 in Williams County, Ohio, the daughter of William and Mary Smith, both deceased. She was the last survivor of the original Smith family. She was educated in the common schools and took a course at Hillsdale College.

Surviving are another daughter, Mrs. Ethel Bellmont of Salt Lake City, Utah; and two sons, Glenn at the farm homestead and T. P. Jr. of Orange Twp. Obsequies will be held from the residence Sunday.
