Kunyan Si pes, died at her home i;i Licking Creek township, Smul'iv ini'i'iiing, .hinli'. I'l. after a long illness, aged t7 years and 2 days. Mrs, Sipes was the daughter of Jacob and Nancy Sipes, and was married nt the age of 19, and spent the whole of her life iu the towuship in which she was horn. At an early age she was couve.rt ed aud joined the Methodist church, of which she remained a c insistent and faithful member forever half a century. For n. number of years she and her hus band lived quite near the church, and being very kind, hospitable people, their home was always nnen for guests and was generally filled with them. It was one of the chief stepping places for Methodist itinerants, who found it not only a stopping place but a home where they were warmly welcomed. This was the exper ience of of all who were entertaiu ed there. Her husband died July 20, t!00, and no one had reason to think that his companion would sosoou follow him. After his death, she continued in the busy routine of housekeeping at the old home un til disease fastened itself upon her. With patience aud submis siveness she laid aside her labors and waited for whatever the fu ture held iu store. She was well cared for in her illuess. some of her daughters being with her ail tin.1 time and four of them toward the last. She was the mother of nine children.
