She was the last link that bound this section of Ohio County to it's most distant past. Her father settled here in the closing of the 18th century. He reared a large family, all members of which lived to a good old age. Nancy was the youngest of the family. Her exact age is not known, but it is certain that she was more than 90 years old. Her brother, Barton WHITLER, was the first merchant in this portion of Ohio County, having a store 1/2 mile from this place 75 years ago, when a very young man. He retired from business more than 25 years ago. His sister lived with him until his death 20 years ago, and since that time has lived with his widow.
