Mary Charlotte Muret was born April 16, 1845 in Switzerland county one
of 10 children of Julius and Eliza (Singer) Muret. For some reason she
did not appear in her fathers' biographical sketch in the 1885 History
of Switzerland county. She married John Benjamin Hastings as his second
wife Nov. 5, 1866 and they made their home on Popcorn Ridge. After the
death of her husband in 1885 she continued raising her children and in
1894 went to Kay County Okla. where a brother had settled and where
several of her children raised their families. She returned to
Switzerland county, Indiana in 1910 and died at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Eugene Stoops (Maud Hastings) at East Enterprise June 3, 1914. She
is buried in Vevay City Cemetery.
Elisabetha Sanger (Eliza Singer), wife of Julius N.E. Muret, was born

1808 and then settled in Switzerland county. The Singer home is still
standing east of Vevay on the Ohio river.
