DEATHS.

Mrs. Lou Hutchcraft Fithian, wife
of the late DR.. Wash Fithian entered
into eternal sleep Friday morning at
ii 80 o'clock, at her home on pleasant
street. where she has resided for near
ly half century.
She had been confined to her bed for
several weeks, when a week ago she
was stricken with paralysis. She was
born in Bourbon county on June Z,
1929, being in the eighty-first year of
her age. In September 1850 she mar
ried DR.. Wash Fithian, of North Mid

eight grandchildren and two great
grandchildren.
Mrs. Fithian was a remarkable
woman in many respects. noted for her
vitality and industry to the very last,
although she had been an invalid for
number of years. She had bright
mind probably could give more correct
dates of notable events that had oc-
Cured in Bourbon during her long and
useful life than any other person in
the county.
She was in fact mother in Israel
always ready and anxious to do some
loving act of kindness for neighbor,
friend or acquaintance. She idolized
her children, grand children and great
grandchildren. A loving, trusting and
devoted mother, a kind neighbor, a
true friend. A noble christian woman
has passed from our midst in the death
of Mrs. Wash Fithian. She is not
dead, but has only entered into that
calm, peaceful and restful sleep that
is the reward for all such women as
the deceased.
Her funeral Sunday afternoon at the
Methodist church, at three O'Clock,
was one of the largest ever witnessed
IN our city, and the many beautiful
floral designs were but slight tribute
of love and affection that is held by
the people of this community for the
deceased.
The services were conducted by her
pastor, Rev. M. T. Chandler, assisted
by Rev. K. S. Litsinger, of the Episco-
pal church. Mrs. Fithian had from
