>From a notebook of newspaper clippings donated to the Garrett County Historical Society. On Wednesday morning, April 26th, Mrs. Nancy Lauchry passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Scott Friend, at Selbysport. She was perhaps the oldest person in the county, having reached the age of ninety eight years, eleven months, twenty six days. She leaves behind to mourn her departure two sons and a daughter, numerous relatives and friends. She was born in Pennsylvania and at an early age was converted and joined the Disciples. After her removal to Maryland she united with the Baptist Church of which she remained a constant member until her departure. It was the good fortune of the writer to have been her pastor and to have known her for six years. During that time her manifest faith in God was an inspiration. When I last saw her she was very weak and sometimes her mind would wander. She would talk to me about mutual acquaintance and then she would forget my presence and repeat softly to herself passage after passage of Scripture. She seemed to be living partly in this world and partly in one whither she was going, for her death had no terrors. It was simply departing to be with her Lord. We are sad because of the parting, but are glad that her pilgrimage is over and she is with those who long ago had been parted from her. Those who are left have our sympathy and prayers that God may give them comfort and that their lives may be so ordered that when the death angel summons them that they may be ready to answer his call with joy. Her funeral was preached by her pastor in the Deep Creek church and her body was laid to rest in the Thayerville cemetery until God shall call it forth in the resurrection day. C. W.
