      Mrs. Matilda C. Locy
   Mrs. Matilda C. Locy, wife of Levi K. Locy, passed
   away at their home on the Lay pike south of town near
   Tuttle's Hill at the age of 83 years, 9 months and
   18days. The funeral was held Wednesday morning at the
   residence, conducted by Rev. T. L McConnell, and the
   body was taken to Fostoria by undertaker Beard for
   interment in the cemetery there. Besides her husband
   Mrs. Locy is survived by a son, Hiram T. Locy of
   Akron, and a granddaughter, Mrs. Catherine Fleig, who
   has resided with her grandparents.  She was a cousin
   of attorney Thos. P. Dewey, their mothers having been
   sisters.  The family came several years ago from
   Geauga county and bought the Tichenor fruit farm
   which has since been their home. Mrs. Locy was a
   woman of more than usual attainments, and in her
   younger days taught school for some years.  She was a
   great home lover, and of later years her whole
   thought has been for the hapiness and comfort of home
   life.  She had been in feeble health for several
   years, suffering from arterial sclerosis.
