Raritan, Ill.; Jan. 10 1869; Gents. This is to certify that I am acquainted with C.M. Duncan and his son James, the young man he brings to you for inspection.

MELVIN.
In Bedford Township at the residence of her son-in-law, W.G. Eaton, August 16th 1873, Mrs. Mary Melvin, in the 90th year of her age.
The deceased was born in North Carolina, while young, moved with her parents to Washington County, Tennessee; lived there for awhile then moved to White County. In 1838 she, with her husband and family, moved to McDonough, and has lived in this county ever since. She was an affectionate mother, devoted Christian, and possessed the fullest confidence of all. She leaves a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn her loss.
