MARY M. LEY. ---
Aged Third Street Lady, Died Early This Morning. ---
Was Stricken With Paralysis One Month Ago – Was 68 [see article for actual] Years Old.
Mrs. Mary M. Ley, relict of the late Sebastian Ley, who died on August 27, 1883, passed away this morning at 12:45 o’clock, at her home on east Third street. She was stricken with paralysis on April 27, and lived only one month.
Mary M. Burton was born near Strasburg, France, August 8, 1812, and died May 26, 1899, aged 86 years, 9 months and 18 days. At the age of five years she came to America with her parents and two brothers, younger than herself. Both died while on the voyage to this country and were buried at sea.
Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Burton, settled near Zanesville in 1818, where was located the only Catholic Church in Ohio, at that time.
Burton was a soldier in France, but after coming to America he operated a wool carding mill on the Scioto river. After the family located in Ohio, five daughters and one son were born to Mr. and Mrs. Burton. All are dead save Mrs. Sarah Boap, of San Francisco, Cal., the youngest.
The subject of this sketch was married to Sebastian Ley at Tiffin, O., in 1832. After a short residence in Tiffin they moved to McCutchenville, O., and from there to Landeck, onto a farm of 160 acres. Ten children were born to them. Three sons, Louis, John and Marcellus, who grew to manhood’s estate, are dead. Surviving their parents are: Mrs. Mary C. Davis, of Forest Grove, Oregon; Joseph Ley, of Coldwater, Mercer county; Mrs. M. C. Kalch, of Hillsboro, Oregon; Rev. Father Edmund Ley, of Pueblo, Col.; Miss Lizzie Ley, of this city; and P. J. Ley, of Middle Point; Frank J. Ley, Gas City, Ind.
In 1882 Mr. Ley retired from farming and moved to Delphos, his daughter, Miss Lizzie, being employed here as a school teacher. Mrs. Ley and daughter lived on Third street since the death of Mr. Ley in 1883. Rev. Father Ley left Delphos last Tuesday, for his home at Pueblo, Colo., and arrived there Thursday. He was wired that is [as shown] mother his [as shown] dead, and will probably start back at once.
Mrs. Ley was a faithful member of St. John’s church, and the funeral will be held from that place Monday morning at 8 o’clock. A solemn requiem mass will be sung.
