Clipping From Scrapbook:

WOMAN, 102, DIED IN HOSPITAL HERE
Mrs. Rebecca Carman of Custer Was One of State's Oldest Citizens
     Mrs. Rebecca CARMAN, one of the state's oldest citizens, died in Hardin 
Memorial Hospital (Elizabethtown) on Sunday.  She was 102 years old on October 
2, 1962.  Funeral services will be held at Locust Hill today at 2 p.m.
     Mrs. CARMAN was born October 2, 1860.  She remembered many incidents of the 
war between the states, and often told of them.
     Until she contracted pneumonia a few days ago, Mrs. CARMAN was active.  Her 
hearing was perfect, her eyesight was remarkably good; she was able to walk 
about her home and do housework.  A few years ago she broke an arm, and in a few 
days, went back to the doctor and told him to remove the cast.  It was bothering 
her.  She drove a tractor at 92.
     Mr. CARMAN died 23 years ago.  Eight children were born to Mr. and Mrs. 
CARMAN, and five survive her:
two sons:
Ervie CARMAN of Locust Hill, Ky
Evans CARMAN of Nall's Valley, this county
three daughters:
Mrs. Lester PILE of Hardinsburg, Ky
Mrs. Hattie BOARD of Custer, Ky
Mrs. Iva ALEXANDER of Custer, Ky
     Hobert OLIVER of Elizabethtown, Ky is a great nephew, and Mrs. W.L. FIBLE, 
Jr., this county, is a great granddaughter.
