Death of Mrs. Canary.

“Aunt Kitty” Canary died Wednesday night about 10 o’clock at the home of Frank Hall in Union township, age 80 years and three months. She had been an invalid for many years from rheu­matism. The immediate cause of her death, however, was an attack of dia­rrhea.

Deceased was the widow of Michael Canary, whose death occurred fifteen years ago. She was born in Oldham county, Kentucky, and came to this county in 1837. She had made her home with her son-in-law, Frank Hall, for many years.

Burial will take place today at noon at First Mt. Pleasant. Funeral services will be held at some subsequent date.
