Obituary of Jane Dygert       


 Another one of the old settlers of Steuben county has gone.  Mrs.
Jane Dygert, the widow of Mr. Adam Dygert, died in York township, at the
residence of her son, Mr. Benjamin Dygert, last Saturday morning, at the
age of nearly 85 years.  Her funeral was held at the residence where she
died on Friday, and was buried in the grave-yard near there, on the old
farm upon which she settled with he husband's family in 1836 or 37.  Rev.
A. Dunham officiated at the funeral.  The very large attendance on the
occasion of her burial attested the respect in which she was held by her
very extended circle of friends and acquaintances.
        Mrs. Dygert was the mother of a large family.  The following are
the names of her chidren [sic] who survive here [sic]:
        Mrs. Henry Klock, Mrs. Mat. Woodard, her daughters, and Messrs.
Levi Dygert, Benjamin Dygert, John Dygert, Harvey Dygert, and Adam
Dygert, her sons, all of whom are well known residents of this county.
