Mountz, Angola's oldest and highly esteemed resident, passed away peacefully at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Bertha Newnam, last Friday forenoon. Mrs. Mountz, who was born on January 18, 1858, would have been 100 years old on her next birthday, and has been enjoying good health until the last moments of her life. She had been accustomed to caring for herself and many household duties, and was an ardent domino player which she enjoyed daily. She has been making her home with her daughter since 1943, and on the day of her passing, she had been comfortably sitting in her favorite chair, and arose to go to a couch where in a matter of moments, her daughter found her breathing her last.
