Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Progress, February 28, 1872, p. 3. Chips and Splinters. An old lady named Secrest, who has been making her home with Samuel Mathers, near Clear Creek Station, was found dead at her bedside, on Monday morning a week. The family had arisen some time previously, and left the old lady asleep, as they supposed. It is believed that she died immediately after getting out of bed, as her night clothes had not been removed. Mrs. Secrest was seventy-four years old--------- Constance T.
