She was born in Monticello, Wayne county, Ky., in 1825, and was 75 years of age. In Nov. 1874, she was married to Mr. Linthicum. Since that time they have made their home in Monroe county, Ind. When quite young she was converted, uniting with the Methodist church, and during all her long life lived a pious, faithful life. This union was not blessed with offspring. They had no children to bless and cheer their home. Uncle Dan is left alone in this world, but amidst many friends who deeply sympathize with him. He is also about 75 years old. The poet no doubt expressed his thought in the following lines: Deeper, deeper grows the shadow, Paler now the glowing west. Swift the night of death advances. Shall it be the Night of Death? The remains were taken to the Linthicum Chapel, Monroe county and laid to rest. Farewell, good Litha. NOTE: Daniel A. Linthicum & Talitha Brooks. Married: 19 Nov 1874 in Lawrence Co., IN.
