OBITUARY
Mrs. Ollie Porter
On Sunday morning, at 6 oÕclock, Mrs. Armstrong Porter, died of paralysis, at the residence of her husband, Mr. Armstrong Porter, in Franklin township, aged about 75 years. Mrs. Porter had been sick but a day or two, and her demise was sudden and unexpected to her friends. She was a good Christian lady - a life-long member of the Methodist Protestant church - and was ever found doing good works, was a model wife and mother, and a kind neighbor, and was loved by all who knew her. Mrs. Porter was a sister of the late Dr. Arthur Inghram, of this place, Thos. Inghram and Mrs. J. B. Gordon, of Franklin township, and William Inghram, of near Jefferson. She leaves an aged husband, one son and a host of friends and relatives to mourn her loss. The interment took place on Monday in Green Mount Cemetery. The remains were followed to the grave by a large concourse of sorrowing people.
