General Notes: Wife - Elizabeth Ghost


Obituary - Friends of Mrs. Elizabeth Ghost McFadden were grieved to learn of her death at her late home in Toledo, Ohio, a few days ago from burns she received when lifting a pan of water from range and her sleeve caught fire. Her daughter, Mrs. Myrtle Hunsberger of Barkeyville, was summoned and spent the few days she lived with her. She became unconscious and lingered until her death. Mrs. McFadden was born near Pine Hill on a farm now owned by Mrs. Norman Mays and was daughter of John and Katherine Surrena Ghost and was one of several children, the last, Crafton Ghost of New Castle, being only surviving member. Married late Perry McFadden and is survived by three children, Emory and Oscar of Toledo, and Mrs. Myrtle Hunsberger of Barkeyville. After the death of her husband she sold their farm near Cyrus where they lived and went to Toledo to live near her son. Was aged 82 years. Her mother lived to be almost 100 and, barring the accident she suffered, might have lived for many more years. A woman of quiet unassuming ways...... Body brought to Clintonville Wednesday for burial beside her husband.
(Ed. 1839-1921 Clintonville Methodist)
