SEVEY DIED LAST EVENING Aged Lady Had Been a Helpless Invalid for Almost a Year - Burial at Geneva. Mrs. Lavina L. Sevey, aged 81, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W. F. Hallett, 284 Sandusky street, Monday evening, December 23, at 8 o'clock. On February 7, 1912, Mrs. Sevey suffered a stroke of paralysis wich left her totally helpless and speech-less, although her mind was not seriously affected. For nearly a year she has received the best care and most tender attention that filial affection could suggest. Death came finally as a release welcomed by Mrs. Sevey, who frequently indicated a wish to go. Mrs. Sevey was born in New York state, but immediately after the Civil war, a struggle in which her husband, Nathaniel Sevey, participated, Mr. and Mrs. Sevey moved to Girard, Pa., where they lived continuously until Mr. Sevey's death about eight years ago. About eighteen months ago Mrs. Sevey became an inmate of the home of her daughter and son-in-law. Mrs. Sevey leaves three daughters - Mrs. W. F. Hallett of Conneaut, Mrs. Ada Beatie of Pompeii, Mich., and Mrs. William Powell of Girard, Pa. She is survived by many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, most of whom reside in New York and Michigan. A brief prayer sevice will be held at the Hallett home, 284 Sandusky street, Thursday morning, after which the remains will be conveyed to Girard and funeral services will be held in the home of the daughter, Mrs. William Powell, Rev. Cook of the Methodist Episcopal church, of which deceased had been a member for many years officiating. -------------OH-FOOTSTEPS MAILING LIST-----------------------
