    In the death of Mrs. Sarah A. Harvey, who died Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the home of Mrs. Evaline Ridgway on North Main street, following an illness of two weeks, Henry county has lost another pioneer. She suffered a stroke of apoplexy two weeks ago and fell and since that time had been failing.
    Mrs. Harvey had lived her entire life in Henry county, coming to this county with her parents from West Virginia when but a small child. She was married fifty-nine years ago, to Nathan Harvey and for years lived with her husband on the Harvey homestead on Blue river, four miles north of Newcastle.
    Fourteen years ago they leased the farm to a tenant and moved to this city where they lived countinuously except during the winter months which they spent in the south. Nathan Harvey, husband of the deceased is still living at the ripe age of 84 years. If Mrs. Harvey had lived until next October she and her husband would have celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary.
