Mrs. Lucinda Noel

As a result of a fall about five weeks ago in which she broke her leg, Mrs. 
Lucinda Noel, wife of the late Dr. A. Noel died at her home at Bonneauville, 
Thursday, January 12.  She was aged 83 years, 1 month and 23 days.

While walking about her home early in December, Mrs. Noel tripped over a rug and 
fell heavily to the floor breaking her leg between the hip and the knee.  The 
fracture was not considered especially serious and it was thought that the 
patient was recovering from the injury.  The shock however, was too great for 
the aged woman and her condition grew gradually worse until death followed.

Mrs. Noel was born and raised in Union township, and was a daughter of the late 
Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Landis.  In 1851 she was married to Morgan H. Swope, who 
died in 1865.  In 1869 her marriage to Dr. A. Noel took place.  Dr. Noel died in 
1905.  Three children were born to the first marriage:  Wellington Swope, 
Gettysburg, Landis Swope, Bonneauville, and Frank Swope, who lives in the West.  
Six grandchildren and six great grandchildren also survive.  She leaves one 
brother, John Landis, Brook, Indiana.

Funeral Sunday morning at 10 o’clock, services at the house, Rev. W. R. Glen, 
pastor of the Salem U. B. church of which deceased was a member officiating.  
Interment at Mt. Carmel cemetery, Littlestown.
