Death of Indiana County Woman Aged Nearly 103 Years

  Miss Margaret Gardner undoubtedly the oldest woman in Indiana county 
and certainly the most remarkable, died November 13th at the residence 
of relatives near Purchase Line, in Green township, where she made her 
home of late years.  Careful investigation has established that Miss 
Gardner was born in the year 1802, in January, which would make her 102 
years old by next January.  Her only surviving relative who is at all 
close by the ties of blood is a sister, Mrs. Dunlap, of near Hillside 
who is herself eighty-four years of age and was the baby of the Gardner 
family when her eldest sister afterward, "Aunt Margret" was grown up.
