Starns the subject of this sketch was born in North Carolina, July 15, 1818, died at her home about three miles southwest of Wallace, August 16, 1901, aged 83 years, 1 mo, and 1 day. She emigrated to Fountain County, Ind., when she was 15 years of age; married John Starnes, August 18, 1836. To this union were given four children two girls and two boys, of whom only one son survive her. Her worthy husband with whom so many happy years, passed on to that better world March 8, 1879. She united with the U.B. church in the early forties, with which denomination she remained a worthy and faithful member until the church became obsolete; united with the Christian church at Freedom, where her membership remained at the time of her death. An attempt on my part to eulogize her life and character would fall, far, short of her merit, as she was unquestionably the greatest benefactress to her community that ever lived., as it was hers to be gentle, kind and never failing, to give aid and comfort and sympathy when in her power. Her strong and untiring disposition to relieve the sick and needy, gave her an abiding friendship in the hears of her hundreds of friends, no hungry pilgrim was turned from her door unfed, no person in need or distress passed beneath her notice, or without her zealous and uncompromising help. She and her faithful husband, reared to manhood and womanhood with the greatest parental solitude, nine orphan children, who were given all the moral and mental training that christian people and common schools could then furnish. In the departure of this noble woman, the family loses a drat mother and grand-mother, the church a consistent and devoted member, the community its best friend and neighbor. "Aunt Mary" as she was always called, spent 65 years of toil, and hundreds of dollars for the benefit of orphans, relatives and neighbors who will say that she has not wrought a positive and permanent good in the great tide of human existence or that she has not lived a life worthy of praise. Funeral services were conducted at the residence on the 17th by Rev, Sarah McKey. Her text "Blessed at they which die in the Lord, etc., was very appropriate for this occasion and was judiciously treated. Immediately following the funeral services, internment took place in the Zackmire cemetery, witnessed by a large concourse of relatives and friends. She leaves a son, two brothers, six grandchildren and two great grandchildren, and hundreds of friends to mourn her loss. We tender the bereaved family our heart felt sympathy, mingled with the profoundest regret in this sad event, which has deprived us all, of our highest ideal type of womanhood."
