Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Agnew went to Winamac Wednesday, having received word of the death of his mother, as a result of injuries sustained in a recent fall. They made the trip by motor with Atty. and Mrs. George W. Holman.
Mrs. Louisa AGNEW was 97 years of age, having been born in January 1818, and up until last week, enjoyed fairly good health. However, in a fall she broke both arms, fractured her hip and suffered a severe gash on the temple, slowly sinking to the end after these injuries were sustained. She made her home in Winamac with a daughter, Mrs. Edward Keys.
Besides Mr. Agnew there are several children living. The funeral was held today (Thursday) at Winamac. It is believed that had the deceased not suffered the fall, she would have lived to have been over 100 years of age.8

Mrs. Louisa AGNEW, 97 year old mother of Daniel AGNEW, who died in Winamac last week, was born in New York state on Jan. 25, 1818. So far as is known she was the oldest living person in Pulaski county.
Her maiden name was [Louisa] BOLDREY. With her family she moved to Indiana while she was a girl, and she was married to Joseph B. AGNEW in Ripley county on Feb. 25, 1836. Her husband served in the Mexican war where he lost one foot. They moved to Pulaski county in the fall of 1850. About 12 years later they removed to Winamac, and the husband died about 16 years ago.
Twelve children came to them, seven of whom preceded the mother in death. Those surviving are Daniel [AGNEW] of Rochester, Samuel [AGNEW] of near Chattanooga, Joseph [AGNEW] living north of Winamac, and Frank [AGNEW] of Winamac, and Mrs. Elizabeth KEYS, at whose home she died. Those deceased are William [AGNEW], John [AGNEW], Thomas [AGNEW], Mary [AGNEW], Mrs. Lucinda JENKINS, Mrs. Nancy THOMPSON and Mrs. Louisa NYE. Numerous members of the families of both the living and the deceased children live hereabouts, the list of relatives including four generations.
