Taken from McDonald Pa Outlook 15 Dec 1921

On Thursday evening, December 8th at 7:30 o'clock, Mrs. Nancy 
SLEETH, in her 79th year, died in the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. P. KERR, 
of Rennerdale. Mrs. SLEETH was a daughter of John Phillip GRAHAM, 
descendants of the first settlers in Robinson county (sic). Mrs. SLEETH had 
been confined to her room and bed for the past five months and had been a 
great sufferer, but was wonderfully patient through it all. Rev. MILLER, 
pastor of the Presbyterian church, assisted by Rev. LONG, her former pastor, 
conducted the funeral services Sabbath afternoon in her late home. The 
departed lay in a setting of Palms and floral tributes; her face portrayed 
her beautiful character and she was a picture of loveliness as she lay there 
in her garb of white. She leaves a son *. K. SLEETH, two daughters, Mrs. J. 
P. KERR and Mrs. Harry VALENTINE and two brothers, Walter G. and Frank *. 
GRAHAM. The interment was Monday afternoon in the Homewood cemetery. The 
bereaved family have the sympathy of the community.
