    3. While looking through microfilm of the Carroll Co. Mirror for 1874, I came across the following obituary. This is the second reference I have come across to Joseph Warfield living on "Preston Prairie" in Carroll County. Can anyone tell me where this would be? -------------------- August 21, 1874 An Old Landmark Gone Owing to our absence we omitted to mention at the time it occurred, the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Sword, at the residence of her son-in-law, Joseph Warfield, on Preston Prairie, July 11th, 1874. Mrs. Sword was aged 89 years, 1 month and five days, and had been a resident of Carroll County since 1846. She was born in Franklin County, PA. She was the mother of seven children, had sixty-five grand children, and eighty-seven great grandchildren. She was buried at Cherry Grove, her former home. She was probably the oldest person in the county.
