Glidewell, Eveline (d-1876)

Died, in this county, at the residence of Col. H.W. Rierson, on the 24th, of typhoid fever, Miss Evaline Glidewell, aged 25 years, 1 month and 5 days.

The deceased sustained a good character in her neighborhood, and considering the fact that she had not had the watchful care of a mother since she was a small girl, and had to live among strangers, she had done well to reach the age she had attained without a blemish upon her character.

She was noted and praised by those with whom she lived and who knew her best, for her honest integrity and virtue.
