OLDEST ST. MARYS WOMEN DIES AT AGE 97 AT HER HOME, JAY ST.
MRS. CAROLINE MAKLEY, BELOVED AND WIDELY KNOWN LOCAL RESIDENT, DIES
SUDDENLY - WAS MOTHER OF FIFTEEN CHILDREN AND ALSO REARED FOUR ORPHANS.
Mrs. Caroline Makley, St. Marys' oldest woman citizen, died at 4:15 o'clock Wednesday afternoon at her home on West Jay Street. She was 97 years old and would have been 98 had she lived until March 2.
Her death was sudden. Although she had been failing health, having suffered five light strokes within the last few years, she seemed yesterday to be in better health than she had been for about a week. She died quietly while her daughter, Miss Barbara, who has tenderly cared for her for years, was out of her room for a few moments.
Mrs. Makley was widely known and beloved by all who knew her. She was the mother of 15 children and also reared four orphan children, still she found time to be a real neighbor and to help anyone who was in need. Her pleasant disposition and her kindly ways caused her to be highly esteemed by everyone with whom she came in contact.
She was the widow of George Makley, who died 26 years ago. Two sons and a daughter also preceded her in death as did the four orphan children whom she reared. The children surviving are: George, Andrew, of St. Marys, Joe of Celina, Ed, of St. Marys, Al of Tulsa, Okla., Tom, Montpelier, Oh., John, Louis, Mrs. J. W. Green, Mrs. Katherine Springer, Henry, and Miss Barbara Makley, of St. Marys. Harry and Bernard Kelly, her grandchildren, Harmon Hesse, and Guy Funk were the orphan step-children she reared. There are 29 grandchildren.
Grandma Makley, as she was called by those who knew and loved her, was a native of Canton. From there she went as a child to Ft. Loramie. It was during her residence in Ft. Loramie that she saw the workmen building the Miami and Erie canal, the waterway which was to connect the Great Lakes and the Ohio river and which brought a great change in the territory about here.
She was 13 years of age when she moved to St. Marys, then but a small village. The site where her home stands then was a dense woods and it was no uncommon sight to see wild animals lurking in it. Several times Mrs. Makley had seen Indians.
At the time Mrs. Makley came to St. Marys there was no church of her faith, the Catholic, here. It was in her jome that the Catholics for miles around would assemble for mass. A traveling priest would stop here to conduct services and word would be sent out of his arrival.
Through the years Mrs. Makley has continued a devout Catholic, attending church regularly until her health no longer would permit her to attend services.
Although nearing 100 years of age Mrs. Makley had remarkably good hearing and eyesight. Her mind was active and she could recount many of the interesting events of early St. Marys. She was humorous, and her reminiscences contained much of the humorous as well as the serious side of pioneer life. She was always of a jovial disposition.
Members of the Married Ladies Sodality of Holy Rosary Church will assemble at the Makley home at 7:30 o'clock Friday night to recite the prayers for the dead.
Funeral services for her will be held at 9 o'clock Saturday morning at Holy Rosary church. Burial will be in Gethsemane cemetery.
