MRS. BETSY PLATT.
In this city, May 8, 1885, at the residence of her son, Geo. W. Platt, Mrs. Betsy Platt, aged ninety-three years, five months and twenty-two days. The subject of this notice was born in Vermont in 1791, and was the oldest resident of this city, where nearly forty years of her life was spent. She had been confined to her room by the infirmaties. of age for some time, and her death, which was calm and peaceful, was not unexpected. By those who knew her during the average days of her life, she is pleasantly remembered for her many kind traits of her character, and from the younger people her venerable appearance at once won her the esteem and kindest thoughts. She was a member of the Presbyterian Church for more than half a century, and while health permitted she was a regular attendant at the services. In ripe old age she has gone to the grave and only pleasant memories cluster around her long and useful life. —Niles Republican, May 14, 1885.
