Mrs. Addie Yount, 80, widow of Harrison Yount, lifelong resident of Miami County and, for the most part, of Tippecanoe City, died at her home at that place at an early hour Thursday morning.

Mrs. Yount, who had been an active woman, failed rapidly following the death of her oldest son, John I. Yount, a little more than a year ago in Tippecanoe City. A complication of diseases and infirmities of age were assigned as the contributory factors in her death. The last four months were spent in the home of her daughter, Mrs. Daniel Gnodle, in Troy. She was taken ill two weeks ago and taken to her home in Tippecanoe.

Mrs. Yount was the daughter of the late Jonathan and Margaret Collins, early settlers of Miami County. Mrs. Yount spent her entire life in her native county. Her husband preceded her in death 27 years ago. The decedent was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church during her entire life.

Surviving are 11 children: Mrs. Daniel Gnodle and Frank Yount of Troy; Howard and Harvey Yount of Columbus; Ralph of Los Angeles, Calif.; Edward of Piqua; Ford and Mrs. Levi Westfall of Dayton; Mrs. Sherman Arter, Mrs. Rudolph Shaffer, and Noah Yount, all of Tippecanoe City; 17 grandchildren; and five great-grandchildren.

The funeral was conducted at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon in the Methodist Episcopal Church, Tippecanoe City, by Rev. D. B. Nelson, the pastor.

A number of relatives and friends from this city, in addition to a large concourse from Tippecanoe City, where Mrs. Yount had spent her entire life, attended the obsequies. The sermon was based on the seventh and eighth verses of II Timothy which had been selected by Mrs. Yount, as follows: "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. Henceforth, there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day; and not to me only, but to all them also that love his appearing."

The bearers of the pall were six sons of the decedent: Ford of Dayton, Harvey and Howard of Columbus, Edward of Piqua, Noah of Tippecanoe City, and Frank Yount of Troy. Burial was made in Maple Hill Cemetery. The burial ground was formerly the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Collins, the parents of Mrs. Yount, and when a child she loved to follow in the furrows as he plowed the soil which now forms her last resting place.
