LINTON - Laura Linton Everett. The subject of this sketch, whose death was briefly noted in our last issue, was born in Bucks Co., Pa. June 5, 1803, and was consequently nearly eighty seven years old at the time of her decease. She was married Sept. 6, 1822 to William Everett who died in this township Jan. 7, 1872. Mrs. and Mrs. Everett removed from Bucks Co. to this vicinity in September, 1830 and in their efforts to make a home endured all the hardships of pioneer life, the recital of which at the present day would read like fiction. They were the parents of twelve children all of whom lived to reach years of maturity and seven of whom still survive. The additional descendants of this worthy couple are forty eight grand children, forty two great grandchildren, and one great great grandchild. Mrs. Everett will long be remembered as a kind friend and neighbor and most worthy Christian woman, hugely esteemed by all who knew her. She had long contemplated the great change with equanimity and welcomed the call to a higher life. Rev. Charles Wecks officiated at the funeral, in accordance with the wish of deceased, and six of her grandsons acted as pall-bearers.
