An inmate of the institution pushed her down last summer dislocating her hip, from which she never recovered but gradually grew weaker. Mrs. SADDLER was born in Ohio in 1829, and married Nelson LEWIS who died in Andersonville prison. In 1869, she became the wife of Thomas SADDLER the family removing to this state. In 1897 her husband died and she had often expressed a wish that she might be buried by his side, and that her funeral be held from the Methodist church. These wishes were compiled with, the funeral being held at the church this morning and the weary pilgrim laid to rest beside her husband in the Walters cemetery in Wilson township. ------------------------------------------------------------------ USGENWEB NOTICE: These electronic pages may NOT be reproduced in any format for profit or presentation by other organiza- tions or persons.
