On Friday, the 19th February, 1847, at her residence in Goochland county, Va., Mrs. MARY POWELL, relict of the late Wm. Powell, in the 66th year of her age. Those who knew Mrs. Powell best-and the number of her acquaintances was very great-are most ready to unite in her praise. As a wife, she was without a fault; as a mother, tender and indulgent; as a neighbor, kind and hospitable. No person ever performed the duties of life with more exactness, or more entirely in the spirit of a Christian. Her place in her own neighborhood can never be filled, and her neighbors already feel that they have met with an irreparable loss. She was one of the most charitable of human beings, and her charity was always bestowed in strict accordance with the spirit of the Scriptures: her left hand knew not what her right hand did. Her children may well mourn their loss; but they may mourn not as those who can not be comforted.

ROCKINGHAM'S OLDEST CITIZEN DIES AT 105
____________
Horace Payne Buried Near Farm Where Life Was Spent.
HARRISONBURG, VA., July 23.-Rockingham's only centenarian and one of the oldest residents of Virginia, Horace Payne, aged 105 years, was laid to rest today at Singers Glen, in the county where his entire life was spent. Payne died yesterday at the home of a niece.
Spending his last years in a rather out-of-the-way part of the county and living a secluded life, few persons aside from those in the immediate neighborhood knew of the very remarkable man. Records produced by relatives, however, show that Payne was born in 1819.
For many years, Payne and his mother conducted a tavern near the foot of the Alleghany Mountains on one of the leading routes to the West. Later he turned to farming and tilled the soil until advanced age forced him to give it up.
Payn's mother married when she was 15 years of age, came to Rockingham from East Virginia. She lived to be nearly 100 years old.
Of the family of twelve children, two now survive. The are, Mrs. John Wenger, of Dayton, and Henry Payne, of Waynesboro, both well up in the eighties.
