  Caroline M. Colvin died at her late residence in Dalton, Aug. 24th 1891 aged 72 
  years, 2 months, 24 days. Mrs. Colvin was the daughter of of George A. Bailey, 
  one of the earlist settlers in Abington Township. The family consisted of nine 
  children, six sons and three daughters; of this large family only two are now 
  living, viz: George S. Bailey,DD, now residing in california in very feeble 
  health, and Aunt Polly Franklin, still living in Abington Township. The old 
  homestead, the site of which is now occupied by the residence of Jos. P. 
  Dickson, was one of the first houses erected in this neighborhood and the old 
  home of Bailey Hollow which has so effectually passed out of the minds of 
  nearly all the present generation, was derived from the family of which 
  deceased was a member. Mrs. Colvin was born May 31, 1819; was married to Henry 
  J. Colvin July 30, 1836. She was baptized into the old Baptist Church by Elder 
  John A. Shaw in the year 1839 and has been a consistent member of said church 
  for over fifty years. to her and her devoted husband, Deacon Colvin, are due 
  much that enters into the early history of the Abington Valley Baptist Church. 
  Mrs. Colvin was the mother of three children viz: Merton A., Frank M., and 
  Jane, wife  of Wm. H. Stevens. During the past year especially during the few 
  months preceding her death, she had been quite a sufferer, but had endured it 
  with christian fortitude. Her funeral will be attended from the Baptist Church 
  Wednesday at 2'clock 2 P. M.
