The "Plymouth Republican" of Plymouth, Marshall Co. IN, in an issue dated Thursday, December 19, 1895, printed this article in a column headed "Tyner City and Vicinity" -- "Mr. and Mrs. Joe Walterhouse attended the funeral of Mr. Walterhouse's sister, Mrs. Mary Woodworth, south of Grovertown, last Saturday". That Saturday would have been the 14th of December. Her death probably occurred several days before that.
