Her death resulted from congestion of the stomach and heart trouble. Matilda Ann Springer was born in Uniontown, Pa., August 21, 1830 the daughter of Josiah and Mary Sampey Springer. After the death of her father she, in company with her mother, brother and sister, moved to this county. She was united in marriage to Jesse B. Scudder Jan.2, 1856, to which was born six children; Dustin Scudder and Alfaretta Landis of Bardolph, Charles D. Scudder of Adair, Julia Duncan of Industry, and Elizabeth (Jasper) Rutledge of Adair, and Mary Alice Scudder, deceased. For the past forty years she had resided in Industry. One year ago last May her companion was taken by death. She united with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church of this place when young and remained a faithful member of the same until that church disbanded, after which she with her husband united with the M.E. Church of this place of which she was a member at the time of her death. She had been failing for some time past but none was aware that the end was so near.
