Notes:

                   Wednesday, March 30, 1887, The Rochester Sentinel
DIED - Saturday, March 19, 1887, Hannah EWER, aged 86 years. The deceased
was the mother of T. G. EWER, of Mud Lake, who is the last survivor of
the family.
Aunt Hannah, as she wasgenerally known, was one of the earliest settlers
of this county having settled here fifty years ago. She was the last
member of a family of six, two brothers and three sisters having preceded
her to the Spirit land. The youngest member of her family died at the age
of sixty-six, which shows that they werea long-lived race of people. She
is dead but yet she speaketh, saying to us,prepare for death. After a
long, weary life she is at rest. Sleep on, sweetsaint until God shall
awake your sleeping dust, and crown it with immortality at his right hand.
Shall we meet her there?
