  Mrs. Julia Kinter Meadville died at her home in Bellwood at 6.40 
Friday evening.  She was born at Tyrone Forges on September 4, 1808, 
and at death was aged a little less than 98 years.  She had been 
confined to her bed the past six months from weakness owing to old age.  
She had a vigorous constitution and remained active until within the 
last year.  At the age of 15 years she removed with her parents to 
Westmoreland county, but later returned to Tyrone Forges.  On August 
28, 1830, she was married to Joshua Meadville, and with her husband 
went to the Warriorsmark Valley.  Most of her life was spent on the 
Riverside farm near Fostoria.  Her husband died in 1853.  She was the 
mother of twelve children, four of whom are yet living namely: Graham 
ex-sheriff of Blair county, now residing in North Bend, Neb.; Mrs. John 
Henshey, of Antis township, near Bellwood, and John and Miss Rose, at 
home.  She was a member of the Baptist church for nearly half a 
century, being baptized at Williamsburg.  One who knew Mother Meadville 
says she was a kindly and charitable lady and by many agreeable traits 
of heart and mind had endeared herself to those who were privileged to 
know her.  The funeral services were held on Monday afternoon at 2 
o'clock.
