DEATH TAKES MRS. POSTEN

Member of Prominent Preston County Family Dies

Mrs. H. C. Posten, aged 75 years, member of early prominent family of Preston
county, and a much beloved woman of this city, passed away last evening in her
home, 511 Locust avenue. She had been ill for some time and for days past, her
condition had been growing much worse.

Mrs. Posten was born July 23, 1855, in Masontown, Preston county, W. Va. She was
a daughter of the late Thomas J. and Sibina Cobun Watson. Since her marriage she
has resided the greater part of the time in Fairmont. Her husband passed away a
few years ago.

The deceased is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Effie Posten Arnett and Miss
Ruth Posten. Her son-in-law, "June" Arnett, met with a sudden death several
months ago. Mrs. Posten also leaves a brother, John W. Watson, of Kingwood. A
sister, Mrs. Almira Watson Wheeler, wife of C. C. Wheeler, of this city, died
about a year ago, and a brother, Granville Watson, is also deceased. Mrs. Posten
was a woman of many fine qualities and of splendid Christian character. She was
a devout member of the First Presbyterian church. Mrs Posten was a deeply
devoted mother and in turn her children were most devoted and attentive to her.

The funeral will be held Saturday morning with services at the residence at
10:30 o'clock. The Rev. George E. Bevans pastor of the First Presbyterian
church, will officiate. Interment will be made in Woodlawn cemetery by
