Mrs. M. G. Harbin Dead
Mrs. M. G. Harbin, after several weeks illness with the flux (flux is influenza), died at her home north of London, Wednesday morning, September 20, at the age of 78 years. Mrs. Harbin was preceeded to the grave by her husband, a well known Union solider, just seven months and 10 days.

W. Harbin of Varilla, their father being unable to come. Mrs. Harbin was a loveable Christian character, a member of the Methodist church and had many friends who extend sympathy to the bereaved family.
Civil War Pension granted to Mary J. Harbin widow of Milton G. Harbin at the rate of $12.00 per month to commence on Feb 21, 1916, and to continue during her widowhood.

Here are some "receipts", recipes, that would have been in the local newspaper during her lifetime.

Lemon Pie With Raisins*
Take the juice and grated rind of one lemon, one egg well beaten, one cup of sugar; two tablespoonsful of corn starch dissolved in two thirds of a cup of sweet milk, one cup of raisins carefully washed, and butter one half the size of an egg. Mix and bake with an under crust.
*remember - there was no such thing as "seedless" grapes, hence - no "seedless" raisins. A housewife of this time would know to wash and sort carefully to pick out moldy raisins and to remove the seeds from each raisin before cooking with these!

TEA CAKES - Five eggs, two cups sugar, one cup of butter, three pints of flour; flavor to taste. Roll thin, cut and bake in a quick oven.
Lemon puddings - Two eggs, one cup of white sugar, one tablespoonful of flour, one teacupful of water, juice one lemon. Grate the rind of the lemon into the sugar. Beat eggs separately. Add eggs just when ready to bake and bake in their crust. The above proportion for one pie.
