ELNORA A. (HICKS) TWICHELL, 28 Oct 1839 - 18 Sep 1882

DIED - Twichell - In Indianapolis, September 18, 1882, Elnora 
A., wife of W. H. Twichell, aged 42 years, 19 months and 20 
days.
   Elnora A. Hicks was born in Pennsylvania, October 28, 
1839.  When quite young she came to this county with her 
parents.  On November 17, 1859, she was married to W. Homer 
Twichell.  Two children resulted from this union but both 
died - one in August, 1862, at the age of 2 years and the 
other in November, 1871, at the age of 6 years.  Many years 
ago Mrs. Twichell was a member of the Presbyterian church 
which was established here and soon after the organization of 
the Congregational church, united with it and remained one of 
the most earnest members until her death.  About eleven years 
ago, soon after the death of her little boy, it became 
evident that her mind was affected but after a time she 
became restored to a normal condition.  A few years later she 
was again affected and was taken to the asylum at 
Indianapolis, where her recovery was brought about.  From the 
time she returned home until a few weeks ago she enjoyed good 
health.  The particulars of her last attack have been given 
before, therefore repetition is unnecessary.
