Mrs. L. J. Tritt
DIED: Tritt - On the old homestead, near Warden, Wash., on Saturday, Feb. 19, 1910, Mrs. L. J. Tritt, aged 82 years, 7 months and 27 days, of old age.
Mrs. Tritt was born in Newville, Cumberland county, Pennsylvania, on the 22nd day of June, 1827. She was married in the place of her birth on Dec. 4, 1849, to Jacob Tritt, and they made Pennsylvania their home until 1881, when the family moved to Sheridan, Worth county, Missouri. Here they continued to reside until 1901, when the Tritt family came to Adams county, where they took up a homestead.
Jacob Tritt died eight years ago, since which time the widow had cared for the home and directed the management of the farm.
Nine children came to bless the Tritt home, and all survive their mother, except the youngest, a daughter, who died in Missouri in 1898. The remaining children are: Harry A. Tritt of Hicksville, Wash.; Marcelle Tritt, Jennings, Kansas; Jennie S. Fowler, Jennings, La.; David L. Tritt, Warden, Wash.; Zella M. Stover, Carlyle, Penn.; Hattie C. Morley, Savannah, Mo.; Melissa M. Curry, Lind, Wash.; Minnie Grindstaff, Warden, Wash.; and an adopted daughter, Eliza Davidson, Warden, Wash.
The adopted daughter, Miss Eliza Davidson, is now a woman of nearly 70, but was only a little girl when Mrs. Tritt opened her heart and home to her. She will remain on the old farm.
Early in life the deceased became a member of the Christian church, and ever remained a true and faithful member.
She was well and active up to within 11 hours of her demise. A few days before her death she made her will, the same being in her own handwriting. It is clear, firm and legible.
