>From The Conneaut Reporter, newspaper:


                MISS LAVINA L. 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.
