RIPE IN YEARS

And Rich in Good Deeds. Mrs. Elizabeth Darst Departs Life Here.

At 3 a.m. today, Mrs. Elizabeth Darst, an esteemed and beloved lady, departed her useful life at the home of her son-in-law, Captain John Stasel, south of town.

She had reached the advanced age of 90 years and her death was due to the infirmities of ripe years. Mrs. Darst was born in Virginia in 1800, where she passed the youthful and sunny portion of her life. She removed to this county several years ago and it was here that nine years since, she mourned the death of her affectionate husband.

Mrs. Darst leaves seven grown children, now living, of which Mrs. Benj Hazelton, Mrs. Andrew Vogel, Mrs. Capt John Stasel and Mr. John Darst, reside in this city and the remainder live in the west.

She was a christian lady, a member of the English Lutheran church, who, until within the days of her infirmities, led an active life in the church, with which she had identified herself. Many have been the precepts and kind advices given by her to friends and children, and in her death, will be sadly missed.

The funeral will take place Thursday afternoon, probably at her late home, and Rev C. W. Sifferd, of the English Lutheran church will officiate.
