The Decatur Republican
Thursday, 6 April 1899

         MRS. KITTIE POWERS died at her home in East
       Decatur April 1st, 1899.
         KITTIE HERSHEY was born in Lancaster county,
       Pennsylvania, October 11th, 1825. She remained
       at home until her mother's death and at the age
       of thirty-three was married to her first husband.
       He lived but a few years and in 1863 she was
       united in marriage to MR. H. B. STONER of Penn-
       sylvania. After twenty-five years of wedded life
       she was left a widow again and in 1893 she became
       the wife of WM. POWERS of Decatur. In a year's
       time she was again left to mourn the loss of a
       husband, and after five years of patient waiting
       the summons came to call her home.
         She was ill about three months, and although
       her sufferings were severe at times she bore 
       them with great patience.
         She was a devoted Christian and a true worker
       for the cause of Christ. Her last words were of
       Jesus, home and heaven.
         Out of a family of eight sisters and four
       brothers only an aged brother remains to mourn
       the loss of a beloved sister.
         Services were held at the residence April 3d,
       at two p.m., Rev. A. B. Palmer of Bangor officiating,
       interment in Lakeside cemetery.
