Monroe Watchman, Monroe WV
Mrs. Nancy Arnott, probably the oldest resident of Monroe County, if not of the state, died at the home of Mr. M.A. Ellison, her son-in-law, at Lillydale, on Friday morning last, Dec. 17, of paralysis. She was between 101 and 104 years of age being born in the closing years of the 18th century. She had therefore lived in three centuries, the 18th, 19th and 20th, a most extraordinary distinction. Her life was almost coincident with that of Monroe county. She was born Miss Nancy Raines and in her youth, about 83 years ago married Mr. Frederick Baker, to whom she bore eight children,, all of whom are dead except Mr. A. S. Baker, of Lillydale, the only son she had. After the death of her first husband about 36 years ago, she married Mr. Henry Arnott, It is now 30 years since he died. She had no children by her second marriage. The venerable lady is survived by 34 grandchildren (among them Dr. J.E. Ries of Union), 108 great-grandchildren, and 15 great- great-grandchildren, nearly all of whom are living in this county. She was a good and useful woman in her days and generations, for many years a member of the M.E. Church, South. and leaves a heritage of precious memories to her descendents. Mrs Arnott's faculties were well preserved considering her age, with the exception of her hearing, Her remains were interred in the Arnott family Cemetery near Lillydale last Saturday evening, Rev.. L.B. Atkins conducting the services.
