DEATH'S HARVEST MORE BOUNTIFUL.
Ripened Sheaves Have Been Gathered By the Grim Harvester;
ELIZABETH VANDEVENTER.

Mrs. Elizabeth VANDEVENTER died Sunday morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. E. J. CAYTON, in Rutledge township, at 10:15 o'clock. She was one of the oldest residents of DeWitt county, having been born in Clark county, Ohio, November 20, 1817. She came to Illinois as a girl with her parents, Henry ARBOGAST and wife, and resided for a time at what is now the site of Parnell. Her marriage to Thomas VANDEVENTER took place January 21, 1841, and they became the parents of six children, three of whom are living, viz: D. F. VANDEVENTER, of Le Roy; F. M. VANDEVENTER, of Farmer City; and Mrs. Cayton. The following brothers and sisters also survive: D. H. ARBOGAST and Mrs. Mary McKINLEY, of Farmer City; and Enos ARBOGAST, of Saybrook.

After the death of her companion, which occurred at Le Roy on October 9, 1899, "Grandma" VanDeventer lived with her children. Last Spring her health failed and she became bedfast, never afterward being able to get about, though she improved slightly at times. She was a devoted member of the M. E. church from girlhood and her religion was a great solace and help in her long illness. She was not only one of the oldest inhabitants but also one of the earliest settlers.

Funeral was held Tuesday at the Vance church in Rutledge township, conducted by Rev. G. E. Scrimger. Burial was in Oak Grove cemetery near Le Roy.

Note: F. M. VanDeventer should be T. M. VanDeventer; and her husband died October 19th, not October 9th.
