(From Tuesday's Daily.)
There are probably few women of this city who are better known than was Mrs. Heustis, who had been a continuous resident of Shelbyville for twenty-seven years. She was born at Moores Hill, Ind., Dec. 9, 1864, the daughter of Sydney and Lucy A. Harding. At her death she was aged 55 years, four months and four days. Before coming to this city she was a resident of Lawrenceburg, Ind. Her marriage to Mr. Heustis took place March 15, 1889, and their life together has been one of the most ideal ever noted; her death is a loss to Mr. Heustis which can never be reconciled.
She was perhaps best known in lodge circles and was one of the leading workers in the several organizations with which she was affiliated. She had always been a member of the First Baptist church in this city and was a very devout worker there. She was also a member of the Rebekah, Eastern Star and Royal Neighbor lodges and the Woman's Relief Corps of this city and had held offices in these organizations. Her kindness and smile was never missing and there are many who will grieve at her death.
Surviving her are the husband, one brother, B. A. Harding, her nephew, Myron Harding, and niece, Miss Ila Harding, of this city. The funeral and burial arrangements will be announced later by H. A. Hageman, of the Morris Sleeth undertaking establishment.
