"NONAGENARIAN CALLED"
"On January 21, 1932, Mrs. Katie M. Durbin passed to her reward at the home of her grandson, Thomas Tipsword, at the age of 92 years, 3 months, and 26 days."
"Katie Margaret McKenzie was born September 25, 1839 in Knox County, Ohio. She was the daughter of Gabriel and Nancy McKenzie and is the last survivor of that family. She was one of the community's oldest pioneers, having come with her parents at the age of 8 years and settled on a farm near Moccasin. In 1854 (sic) she was united in marriage to Benjamin Durbin. To this union eight children were born. She was preceded in death by her husband and seven children, four who died in infancy and three recently, namely Mary J., James O., and Amanda A. She leaves to mourn her departure one son, Joseph Frances (sic), also twenty one grandchildren, forty one great-grandchildren, seven great great grandchildren and a host of relatives and friends."
" 'Aunt Katie,' as she was commonly known, has lived practically all her life in this community and will be sadly missed by all who knew her. Through these two months of illness she has born (sic) it patiently. She worked very hard all her life and suffered all in true Christian spirit. Even when the infirmities of old age began to weigh down upon her she was ever the good, kind, pleasant mother. All her life she has been a devoted Catholic and lived a noble Catholic life."
