                           Oldest Resident Dies.

Winchester, Ky. Nov. 21--Mrs. Mollie A. Duvall, 97, Winchester's oldest
resident, died early Monday night at her home on East Hickman street.
Death was attributed to infirmities of age.  She was born in Bourbon
county, near North Middletown, on May 5, 1842 to Elizabeth and Benjamin
Cloud.  After their death, she was brought to Clark county to live with
her grandmother, Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, on the  Van Meter pike.

When her grandmother died, she returned to Bourbon county and made
her home with an uncle, John Smith.  It was at his home that she was
married to John Duvall, a prominent Clark county farmer, who brought her
again to this county to live.  He died 50 years ago.

Mrs. Duvall was a faithful church-goer until about three years ago
when she became unable to walk across the street to church.  However, a
communication apparatus installed by a friend enabled her to sit in "her"
chair by a window and listen to the services.  Her family and friends gave
her a party on her last birthday.

Surviving are a daughter, Mrs. Nancy Whittington of Winchester; a son,
John D. Duvall Jr. of Clark county; a grandson, H. H. Duvall of Louisville,
and one great-granddaughter, Miss Mae Belle Duvall of Winchester.  Mrs.
Whittington lived with her mother.

Funeral services will be conducted at 2:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon 
at the grave in Winchester cemetery by Dr. Hugh McLellan, pastor of the 
First Christian church.  Pallbearers will be J. M. Walker, J. C. Codell, 
Charles Hagan, T. C. Smith, Cillum Scobee and Dave Prewitt.
