ANOTHER OLD CITIZEN GONE
Death of Mrs. Ruth T. Grover Sering.
Those whose personal history embraces the history of our city from its earliest period, are departing from amongst us rapidly, and very soon we will have none of them who can tell us of the early times of Madison, and the interesting events of pioneer life. Mrs. Ruth T. Grover Sering, died at 1 o'clock this morning, at the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. James H. Cunningham, on Fairmount hill. The funeral will take place at the same place at 9 o'clock to-morrow morning. Mrs. Sering would have been 96 years old on the 1st of July proximo. She was born near Baltimore, Md., July 1st, 1788.
She came to Madison with her uncle, Col. John Paul, deceased, in 1809, and has resided here ever since. The massacre of the whites by the Indians at Pigeon Roost, Clark county, occurred soon afterward. Mrs. Sering was married to the late John Sering in 1814. The result of the marriage was eight children, two of whom are dead. The husband died in 1845.
Mrs. Sering's children now living are as follows, and are named in the order of their birth and priority of age: Mrs. Joseph G. Marshall, Mr. John G. Sering, of this city; Mr. Samuel B. Sering, of Indianapolis; Mr. James J. Sering, of this city; Mrs. Thomas Jefferson Godman, of Yankton, Dakota, and Mrs. James H. Cunningham, of this city.
Mrs. Sering was a sister to Colonel Nicholas D. Grover, for many years a citizen of Madison, and who died in Logansport in this State, a few years ago, aged 85 years, and who, at the time of his death, was the oldest Mason in the State. Mrs. John Paul, of Peter, who died in this city about five years ago at a very advanced age, was also a sister to Mrs. Sering.
Mrs. Sering was here amidst perilous times in pioneer life, and in seasons of great danger the citizens generally had to flee to the block house for protection and safety.
