SMITH’S VALLEY.

Miss Sarah Doty was born in Vir­ginia, Oct. 27, 1808, and died August 17, 1897; aged 88 years, 9 months and 20 days. She was one of the first settlers of the county, settling with her father and mother on a farm near Waterloo, Ind. At an early age she made a confession and united with the Baptist church and later with the Chris­tian church, and was one of the charter members of the founding of the Mt. Pleasant church. There were ten child­ren in her father’s family and out of this number Wm. Doty is the only one left to mourn. She was kind and affec­tionate, always taking delight in helping the sick. She was a devout Christian, firm in the faith until the end. Her loss will leave a vacancy in the home which never can be filled.
