MRS. NJ. A. PORCH

The subject of this sketch was
born in Kentucky, July 26, 1850.
Later her parents moved to Illinois
where the family lived until 1864,
when they crossed the plains to
California. They settled in Sacra-
mento where she was wooed and
won by Mr. 7 S Porch. In 1878
they came to this county and set
tied in Huntington Valley. where
she continuously resided until about
ten days before her death.
Her health had been failing for a
number Of years and she came to
Elko to consult physicians for heart
trouble. She appeared to be i'm
proving and was planning to return
to her home when the unseen mes
senger came Unexpectedly on July
l8 and bore her pure spirit to the
other shore.
The burial took place in Hunt
ington Valley where she had lived
so long and where she was held in
the highest esteem. This was evil
denced by the numerous floral tri-
butes which hid the casket from
view, and the expression of gym
patby heard on every side. Four
sons, six daughters and about thir-
ty grandchildren survive her.
They have memory of a we'll spent
useful life to guide them over
life's rough road.
