Margaret Emily Oldshue, daughter of Jacob and Mary Barnes Oldshue, was born in Greene Township, Parke Co., Indiana, Feb. 5, 1852, and passed away at her home in Terre Haute, Nov. 14, 1931, aged 79 yrs., 9 months and 9 days. She was educated in the common schools near her home and at Waveland Academy. In early life she joined the Presbyterian Church at Waveland, under the pastorate of Rev. Irwin, and never moved her membership. She was married to William Farmer, Oct. 27, 1875, with whom she lived a quiet congenial life for more than 50 years, Mr. Farmer having passed away three years ago. To this union one child, Vinca Fern, was born, who lived but 4 months and 21 days, but brightening their quiet serene lives, and in her passing, leaving an aching void, which time softened, but never healed. After their marriage they lived on the old Farmer homestead near Prairieton for a time, then on retiring, to Terre Haute where they have since resided. Of eight children in her father's family, only one brother, John L. Oldshue of Waveland, remains, besides a host of nieces and nephews, relatives and friends to mourn her loss. After her husband's death she was restless and disconsolate, and we feel the All-wise Being knew best when He called her from earthly scenes to the Great Beyond. - kbz
